On April 27, 2020, Katherine Oropeza, 70, and her husband Jose Oropeza, 67, were found dead in their Claypool, Arizona, home after authorities responded to a fire. Investigators working the charred residence reported that both victims appeared to have sustained gunshot wounds in addition to the fire damage, and the Gila County Sheriff’s Office opened a homicide and arson investigation.

The inquiry soon focused on a family member. The couple’s 18-year-old grandson, Abram J. Oropeza, who had been living with them, was stopped by deputies and the Arizona Department of Public Safety and taken into custody. He was jailed on suspicion of two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of arson of an occupied structure, and two counts of tampering with physical evidence. Motive was not clear in the immediate aftermath.

Did anyone in Claypool know the Oropezas or have information about what led up to the fire and shootings?
