19 Detained in Gang-Linked Kidnapping at Aurora Apartment Complex

Aurora police suspect Venezuelan gang involvement in a violent home invasion that left two victims hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.

Aurora police detained 19 individuals following a violent home invasion and kidnapping at The Edge on Lowry apartments on Monday night.
The victims, a man and a woman believed to be Venezuelan migrants, were bound, beaten, and pistol-whipped before being released after pleading for their lives.
Authorities suspect the involvement of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, but no charges have been filed and the suspects' identities remain undisclosed.
The Edge on Lowry has been identified as a high-crime property, with Aurora officials working to address broader gang-related issues in the city.
The incident has reignited national attention on Aurora's crime and immigration challenges, following earlier claims by President-elect Trump about gang activity in the area.
