The family of a Fort Worth man said he fears for his safety after the FBI wrongly identified him as the suspect in a mass shooting that left five dead, including a 9-year-old boy, in Cleveland, Texas, in the early morning hours on April 29.

Francisco Oropeza of Fort Worth and shooting suspect Francisco Oropesa, 38, share a similar name except for the spelling of their last names.
