   Francisco Oropeza, the man accused of gunning down five people in an   
   "execution-style" mass shooting in Cleveland, Texas, was taken into   
   custody Tuesday evening after a multiday manhunt, officials said.   
      
   Oropeza, 38, faces five counts of first-degree murder and his bond was set   
   at $7.5 million -- $1.5 million for each count, San Jacinto County   
   District Attorney Todd Dillon told reporters Wednesday.   
      
   Oropeza was apprehended at a relative's house in Montgomery County, about   
   20 miles from Cleveland, uninjured and without incident, authorities said.   
      
   He was "caught hiding in a closet underneath some laundry," San Jacinto   
   County Sheriff Greg Capers said at a news conference.   
      
   "I believe he thought he was in a safe spot," Chief Deputy Sheriff Tim   
   Kean said.   
      
   Oropeza's partner, Divimara Nava, was also detained at the scene where the   
   suspect was found, Dillon said Wednesday.   
      
   Nava allegedly provided "him with material aid and encouragement -- food,   
   clothes -- and had arranged transport to this house," Dillon said.   
   Authorities said that Nava appeared to be cooperating with investigators   
   as recently as Sunday, but now, authorities say that was all a ruse.   
      
   Nava has been charged with hindering apprehension of a fugitive.   
   Prosecutors allege she physically delivered a message to Oropeza's cousins   
   asking them to help him flee to Mexico, which they refused. She is being   
   held on $250,000 bail and is on immigration hold as a Mexican citizen,   
   following an arraignment hearing Wednesday afternoon.   
      
   A second person, a friend who allegedly helped Oropeza hide, was also   
   taken into custody in San Jacinto County, authorities said.   
      
   Authorities also recovered a weapon that may have been used in the   
   shooting, Kean said, adding that officials were waiting for ballistics   
   information.   
      
   The tip for the suspect's location came in through the FBI tip line, FBI   
   assistant special agent in charge Jimmy Paul said.   
      
   "We just want to thank the person who had the courage and bravery to call   
   in the suspect's location," he said.   
      
   Reward money will be given to the person who called in the tip, officials   
   said. It wasn't immediately clear how much the person would receive. The   
   total reward increased to $100,000 earlier Tuesday, after the U.S.   
   Marshals announced a contribution of $20,000 on top of $25,000 from the   
   FBI, $50,000 from the state and $5,000 from Multi-County Crime Stoppers.   
      
   A Border Patrol Tactical Unit, or BORTAC, apprehended the suspect, and air   
   and marine operations assisted with surveillance, Troy Miller, the acting   
   commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, said in a statement.   
      
   "In small towns and communities like Cleveland, Texas, the men and women   
   of U.S. Customs and Border Protection -- in particular, the U.S. Border   
   Patrol -- provide integral law enforcement support to local authorities,   
   protecting and serving the communities they live in," he said.   
      
   The massacre unfolded Friday night after neighbors asked Oropeza, 38, to   
   stop shooting his AR-15 in his yard because a newborn was trying to sleep,   
   authorities said.   
      
   Oropeza then allegedly stormed the neighbors' home, killing five of the 10   
   people inside, including a young boy, authorities said. Two of the women   
   killed were found in a bedroom lying on top of two surviving children,   
   authorities said.   
      
   The San Jacinto County Sheriff's Office received a call around 11:31 p.m.   
   Friday detailing harassment, Capers told reporters on Sunday. When   
   deputies arrived at the home, they found five victims at the property,   
   Capers said.   
      
   The victims were identified as Sonia Argentina Guzman, 25; Diana Velazquez   
   Alvarado, 21; Julisa Molina Rivera, 31; Jose Jonathan Casarez, 18; and   
   Daniel Enrique Laso Guzman, 9. Five other people who were in the home were   
   not harmed.   
      
   Oropeza is a Mexican national who was previously deported four times, a   
   source familiar with the investigation told ABC News.   
      
   He was deported on March 17, 2009, after an immigration judge ordered his
