San Jacinto County Criminal District Attorney Todd Dillon confirmed that Oropesa's wife, 53-year-old Divimara Lamar Nava, was also taken into custody in Montgomery County. Jail records show she is facing a charge of hindering the apprehension or prosecution of a known felon.
According to Dillon, Nava was detained at the scene where Oropesa was found. Dillon says Nava is believed to have been providing Oropesa with food and clothes and arranged transport to the house where he was later taken into custody.
The district attorney says another man, believed to be a friend or acquaintance of Oropesa, was booked into the San Jacinto County Jail Tuesday night on a possession of marijuana charge. Dillon says the investigation indicates that the man helped Oropesa flee the neighborhood where the shooting took place, and he expects more charges to be filed.
