TL;DR Summary

A shooting in Cleveland, Texas, has shattered the lives of Latino immigrants who had built a community in the area. A neighbor, Francisco Oropeza, has been charged with five counts of murder after he entered the home of Wilson Garcia and killed five people, including Garcia's wife and 9-year-old son. The victims were all from Honduras and had come to the US to seek better lives. The tragedy has left the community uncertain if they will ever recover, and comments from Texas Governor Greg Abbott describing the victims as "illegal immigrants" have left residents scared.
