Texas shooting suspect has been deported 4 times: report

The alleged gunman suspected of murdering five members of a Texas family was reportedly deported four times prior to the lethal incident.

Francisco Oropesa, 39, remains at large following the Friday evening incident during which his neighbors asked him to stop firing a gun. Authorities believe he was intoxicated at the time of the shooting.

Oropesa was previously deported twice in 2009, once in 2012, and again in 2016, a "source familiar with the investigation" told ABC News. He had previously been convicted of driving while intoxicated and served a prison sentence.

As of press time, Oropesa has eluded authorities, who say he cleared a law enforcement string of roadblocks around Cleveland, Texas, according to NBC News.

A total of five people died following Oropesa's violent attack.  Four adults were deceased when authorities discovered them upon arriving at the property, and one child died after being transported to the hospital. Authorities also discovered three surviving children, two of whom were found underneath the bodies of the dead.  

All of the victims were reportedly from Honduras.
