On April 28, 2023, a late-night dispute between neighbors in San Jacinto County, Texas, ended in a mass shooting that killed five people. Among those shot was 25-year-old Hispanic woman Sonia Argentina Guz, who was shot at close range; authorities described the attack as almost execution style. Four victims, including Guz, died at the scene; a nine-year-old boy later died at a hospital. Three other minors were found covered in blood but were physically unharmed.

The shooter reportedly had been firing an AR-15-style rifle in his yard. A neighbor who asked him to stop because a baby was sleeping was told the suspect refused; the neighbor warned law enforcement would be called, and the suspect then reportedly retrieved his firearm, entered the neighbor’s home, and opened fire. The suspect was identified as 38-year-old Francisco Oropeza; he was linked to the scene by a Mexican consulate card and Ring doorbell footage and was arrested after a multi-day manhunt.
