Four suspects linked to the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua have been arrested in connection to a shooting at an apartment complex in Aurora. The suspects include two Venezuelan brothers, Jhonnarty DeJesus Pacheco-Chirinos and Jhonardy Jose Pacheco-Chirinos, as well as Dixon Azuaje-Perez and Nixon Azuaje-Perez. Police confirmed that all four have ties to the gang, with Jhonnarty being a documented member.
The shooting involved an early morning shootout at the Aspen Grove apartments, where residents were terrorized by men with automatic weapons. One man was shot in the arm and another was found bleeding from a stomach wound. Witnesses reported that the brothers had bragged about “owning” the complex and funding their gang through thefts at local Walmart stores.
The Aurora Police Department, working with local, state, and federal partners, investigated the incident and made the arrests. The complex has since been shut down due to code violations, with officials from CBZ Management acknowledging accusations of gang control on the property. The police have stated that they will not tolerate any criminal activity, including gang involvement, in the area.
This incident highlights the presence of organized crime in the community and the efforts of law enforcement to address and address it. The Aurora Police Department is committed to fighting crime and holding those responsible accountable for their actions. The arrests of the four suspects linked to Tren de Aragua demonstrate a step towards reducing gang activity and ensuring the safety of residents in the area.
