In Aurora, Colorado, police detained 14 individuals following a reported armed home invasion at The Edge at Lowry apartment complex. The incident involved a kidnapping and a stabbing, with the victims, an immigrant couple, being moved to another apartment within the complex where they were threatened, bound, pistol-whipped, beaten, and tortured. Aurora Police Chief Todd Chamberlain described the event as 'without question a gang incident' and indicated a high assumption that the detained individuals, potentially 13-15 suspects, are affiliated with the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. The gang, known for its violent activities, has been linked to previous incidents at the same complex, which has been a focal point of crime in the area.
