Shocking Arrest: Viral Aurora Break-In Suspects Found in New York!
Two men linked to a shocking viral video of an Aurora apartment break-in have been arrested in New York, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The suspects, identified as 25-year-old Edilson Yoel Pena-Angulo and 23-year-old Danyeer Aramillo-Meneses, were apprehended following a search warrant execution. Both are facing charges of first-degree burglary and menacing with a firearm.
ICE confirmed that the men are members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. They are currently in ICE custody and will undergo criminal and immigration proceedings. Their arrest marks a significant step in addressing the criminal activity tied to the gang.
The two suspects were among six men identified by Aurora Police in connection to a menacing incident at the Edge at Lowry apartments on East 12th Avenue and Dallas Street.
Around 11:30 p.m. on August 18, six armed men reportedly knocked on two apartment doors, entered the units, and threatened residents. Five men carried handguns, while one carried a rifle.
Police believe the rifle used during the break-in is the same weapon fired in a separate incident on August 18, which resulted in the death of 25-year-old Oswaldo Jose Dabion Araujo.
The shooting occurred just minutes after the events captured in the viral video, outside the same apartment complex.
Another suspect in the break-in, 21-year-old Naudi Lopez-Fernandez, was arrested earlier by Aurora Police. Authorities are continuing efforts to locate and apprehend the remaining suspects.
The arrests come amid broader concerns about gang activity in Aurora, particularly involving Tren de Aragua. The gang has been linked to various crimes in the area, including shootings, assaults, and threats.
Many incidents have occurred near residential complexes such as the Fitzsimmons Place apartments and Whispering Pines Condominiums, though some gang-related crimes have been reported in nearby Jefferson and Boulder counties.
Aurora Police and city officials have denied claims that the city is being “taken over” by Tren de Aragua, a narrative fueled by political figures, including former President Donald Trump.
However, the repeated arrests of gang members in Aurora highlight the ongoing challenges of combating organized crime.
The recent arrests demonstrate the collaboration between local law enforcement and federal agencies like ICE in addressing these serious threats.
For now, the suspects remain in custody as they face charges for their alleged involvement in the Aurora apartment break-in and related crimes.
