This incident comes just days after a similar event in Colorado, where an apartment building was reportedly stormed by armed men affiliated with the Venezuelan gang “Tren de Aragua.” The back-to-back occurrences have sparked concerns about the growing presence of organized crime linked to migrant groups in the United States.
As of now, there is no official confirmation regarding the identities of the individuals involved or the motive behind the takeover. Local authorities have yet to release an official statement, and the situation remains fluid as more information becomes available.
