Police in Aurora, Colorado, say a group of 13 to 15 armed individuals attacked a man and a woman in their apartment, likely targeting them because they are Venezuelan immigrants. The attack lasted nearly five hours, during which the man was stabbed, but is expected to survive. Authorities believe the assailants are likely Venezuelan nationals and may belong to the Tren de Aragua gang, known for its violent history in Venezuela. The incident occurred in an apartment complex with a history of criminal activity, prompting police to increase patrols in the area.
Más de una docena de personas ataron, golpearon y aterrorizaron a un hombre y una mujer en un problemático complejo de apartamentos ubicado en un suburbio de Denver, informó el jefe de policía de la ciudad el martes, añadiendo que aparentemente se trata de un ataque relacionado con actividad de pandillas contra dos inmigrantes venezolanos.
Sin embargo, subrayó que la localidad, de unos 400,000 habitantes situada al este de Denver, no está infestada por el crimen organizado. Las víctimas fueron llevadas en contra de su voluntad hacia otro apartamento dentro del complejo mientras su apartamento era saqueado, dijo Chamberlain.
