A terrifying situation is unfolding in Colorado, where residents are reporting that members of a violent Venezuelan gang are taking control of entire apartment complexes. Disturbing footage shows these men heavily armed and instilling fear in the community.
In a recent video captured at an apartment complex in Aurora, six men can be seen roaming the halls, climbing stairs, and banging on a unit’s door. What’s even more alarming is that five of these men are carrying firearms, with one brandishing what appears to be an assault rifle equipped with a large scope.
The gang in question, known as Tren de Aragua, has been causing trouble in both Denver and Aurora, once peaceful suburbs that are now on edge. Aurora city council member Dani Jurinsky has spoken out about the gang’s takeover of multiple apartment complexes in the area.
The video has gone viral on social media, prompting the Denver Police Department to issue a statement acknowledging the presence of Tren de Aragua and assuring the public that they take the situation seriously. While they have reason to believe that gang members are involved in local crimes, they have not confirmed any reports of apartment buildings being fully controlled by the gang.
The optics of this situation are undeniably troubling, raising concerns about safety and security in the affected communities. It remains to be seen how local authorities will address the presence of Tren de Aragua and ensure the safety of residents in Aurora and Denver.
