- Texas authorities arrested Divimara Lamar Nava, the wife of the man accused of shooting his neighbors.
- After a four-day manhunt, police arrested Francisco Oropeza. Nava was later arrested on suspicion that she hid him.
Texas police arrested the wife of Francisco Oropeza, the 38-year-old man suspected of shooting and killing five of his neighbors after they asked him to quiet down.
Authorities believe Divimara Lamar Nava, 53, hid Oropeza's location during the four-day manhunt for Oropeza, according to the Associated Press.
Nava previously denied knowing Oropeza's whereabouts after the April 28 shooting, Montgomery County Sheriff Rand Henderson said.
Police said they now think Nava hid Oropeza in the Conroe home where he was discovered and arrested on Tuesday.
Authorities found Oropeza hiding under a pile of laundry in a closet of the home, the owner of which had a personal connection to Oropeza, Tim Kean, chief deputy with the San Jacinto County Sheriff's Office, told reporters.
"I believe he thought he was in a safe spot," Kean said of Oropeza, according to the AP.
Jail records show Nava is being held at Montgomery County jail on a felony charge of hindering the apprehension or prosecution of a known felon. The records say Nava is unmarried, but the Associated Press found that Oropeza and Nava share a home address.
Wilson Garcia, a survivor of the shooting that left his wife and child dead, said the rampage started after he asked Oropeza to stop firing his AR-15-style rifle in his yard since young kids were trying to sleep next door.
Garcia and others in the family called the police five times as the suspect continued to fire and eventually sought out his neighbors who had complained, the family said.
Police identified the victims of the shooting as Sonia Argentina Guzman, 25; Diana Velazquez Alvarado, 21; Julisa Molina Rivera, 31; Jose Jonathan Casarez, 18; and Daniel Enrique Laso, 9.
