The suspect, a Mexican national identified as Francisco Oropesa, was taken into custody, CNN reported, citing two police sources.
He is accused of opening fire Friday night into a home in Cleveland, near Houston, killing five people, all of whom were from Honduras, ages 9 to 31.
The 38-year-old was arrested in Cut and Shoot, Texas, less than 30 kilometers from the scene of the massacre, San Jacindo County District Attorney Todd Dillon told NBC television. The man had been deported from the US four times since 2009.
More than 250 police officers, local and federal, have been looking for the suspect for days in this state of the American South, where guns abound.
Authorities offered an $80,000 reward for information leading to the identification of this “monster,” as FBI agent James Smith called him.
The FBI was expected to hold a press conference on developments in the case.
