Suspected Tren de Aragua gang members terrorize apartment complex in shocking doorbell video

A group of nine individuals, believed to be armed members of the Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang, was recently captured on camera causing chaos at a Colorado apartment complex. Aurora police have stated that this event closely resembles previous acts of violence linked to this Venezuelan gang in the region.

In doorbell footage, the gang is seen wielding guns and persistently knocking on an apartment door in a building near 6th Avenue and Potomac Street in Aurora, Colorado, on June 9. This was confirmed by Police Chief Todd Chamberlain during a press briefing on Tuesday.

“This might sound like déjà vu,” Chamberlain said. “… We are addressing this actively, effectively and immediately.”

The occupants of the apartment, who were also Venezuelan and relocated just two days before the incident, are fortunate for not answering the door, Chamberlain remarked, underscoring the wisdom of their decision to stay silent.

I want everyone to understand and to know that we are ahead of this,” Chamberlain said. “This isn’t something that we’re reacting to. This is something that we are proactively addressing with everything that we can possibly do.”

The shocking footage comes as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement works to remove TdA from U.S. soil. In February, the U.S. declared TdA a global terrorist organization.

Aurora is the third-largest city in Colorado with a population of more than 398,000, according to the City of Aurora website. Last summer, an Aurora apartment complex was at the center of the TdA gang takeover controversy after a viral video showed heavily armed gang members taking over an apartment by busting down the door with heavy artillery. 

Earlier this year, nine suspected TdA members were charged following a violent home invasion, kidnapping and robbery in Aurora.

Aurora Police did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
