A judge in Aurora, Colorado, ordered the emergency closure of an apartment complex that has been overrun by crime and migrant gangs last week.

Judge Shawn Day of the city determined on Friday that the Edge at Lowry housing complex should be shut down temporarily because it poses a direct danger to the public. The city had taken legal action against the property’s owner, Five Dallas Partners, LLC, just the prior week.

Despite the order, city officials say the closure isn’t expected to move forward for several months.

Within the city’s request to close down the complex, there was a statement from Aurora Police Chief Todd Chamberlain, pointing out a series of violent crimes that had occurred in the area.

Nine individuals were arrested by the Aurora Police Department for a case involving armed invasion and abduction on Monday, which resulted in severe injuries to two victims.

The nine suspects were identified as:

• Andres Alexander Liendo-Padilla, 26
• Javier Alexander Alvarado Parada, 24
• Jesus Alberto Alejos Escalona, 22
• Junior Reyes-Barrios, 28
• Barbara Sivle Medina-Arcaya, 29
• Donarkys Teresa Suarez-Quesada, 31
• Luigi Javier Soto-Sucre, 26
• Niefred Jose Serpa-Acosta, 20
• Jengrinso Elias Loreto-Petit, 26

The gang members allegedly forced their way into a couple’s apartment at the Edge at Lowry Apartments in the Denver suburbs and bound, beat, stabbed and kidnapped the victims, leaving them hospitalized. The perpetrators also allegedly stole jewelry from the victims.

A total of 19 suspects were initially apprehended in connection to the kidnapping, which authorities previously described as “tortuous.”

Three people were subsequently released after being interviewed by investigators, and it was determined they were not involved in the crime, police said.

The remaining 16 suspects were being held by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). 

The additional seven suspects not yet charged were in ICE custody and remained under investigation, police said.
