Nine Suspected Tren De Aragua Gangbangers Charged For Brutal Kidnapping

The Aurora Police Department (APD) on Monday announced formal charges against nine suspected migrant gangbangers allegedly involved in a violent kidnapping and home invasion of a Colorado couple.

The kidnapping, which occurred in December, took place at the Edge at Lowry Apartments, an apartment complex that has attracted national headlines in recent months for alleged migrant gang activity. Previous investigations have determined that the Edge at Lowry, along with another apartment building in the area, was taken over by members of Tren de Aragua, a vicious Venezuelan prison gang that has gained a foothold in the United States since the Biden administration’s border crisis began.

The nine suspects charged are Andres Alexander Liendo-Padilla, Javier Alexander Alvarado Parada, Jesus Alberto Alejos Escalona, Junior Reyes-Barrios, Barbara Sivle Medina-Arcaya, Donarkys Teresa Suarez-Quesada, Luigi Javier Soto-Sucre, Niefred Jose Serpa-Acosta and Jengrinso Elias Loreto-Petit, according to the APD.

“The suspects face varying charges including second-degree kidnapping, first-degree assault, aggravated robbery, second-degree burglary, extortion and menacing,” the APD said in a statement. “In addition to the above charges, the Aurora Police Department has also obtained arrest warrants for three additional suspects. Those suspects are not yet in custody.”

The 🛂Immigration history of the suspects are not immediately clear. An ICE spokesperson was not able to immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation
