CLEVELAND, Texas – The wife of the Texas man who authorities say fatally shot five of his neighbors Friday with an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle filed a protective order against him in 2022 alleging he beat her, a local prosecutor confirmed Tuesday. San Jacinto County District Attorney Todd Dillon said Francisco Oropesa, 38, who managed to evade authorities for about four days after the mass shooting, allegedly attacked his wife on June 14. She called the San Jacinto County Sheriff's Office to report Oropesa was drunk and had physically assaulted her, Dillon said.
