Wife of Texas gunman Francisco Oropesa arrested in connection with the mass shooting
[NYPOST] The wife of the man suspected of gunning down five of his neighbors in Texas has now also been arrested in connection with the mass shooting, authorities said Wednesday.Francisco Oropeza’s wife Divimara Lamar Nava, 53, was taken into custody early Wednesday at a home in Conroe, Montgomery County Sheriff Rand Henderson said. Nava had previously denied knowledge of her husband’s whereabouts in the wake of the Friday night massacre, but cops now allege she actually hid him as the four-day manhunt for him was underway. It comes after authorities, acting on a tip, found Oropeza hiding beneath a pile of laundry in the closet of a Conroe home on Tuesday evening. Oropeza, a Mexican national who officials say has been deported from the US four times, is set to be charged with five counts of murder. His wife is being held on a felony charge of hindering the apprehension or prosecution of a known felon. Authorities haven’t said who owned the house, if Oropeza knew them or if anyone else was inside when he was located. Related: Francisco Oropeza: 2023-05-03 Nabbed!
