Gang Terror Grips Colorado Apartment Complex as Residents Feel Abandoned by Police
Clear Facts
- Surveillance footage captured potential gang activity involving armed men at a Colorado apartment building.
- The gang, believed to be Tren de Aragua (TdA) from Venezuela, is associated with over 100 crimes nationwide.
- Residents report a lack of law enforcement response and feel unsafe due to the gang’s presence and activities.
A recent surveillance video has exposed what appears to be gang activity at a Colorado apartment complex, highlighting a growing concern among residents and local officials. The footage shows several men wielding handguns and one with a scoped rifle storming through the building’s entrance for reasons that remain unclear.
The gang in question is suspected to be Tren de Aragua (TdA), a notorious transnational gang originating from Venezuela. With an estimated 5,000 members, TdA operates under the chilling motto “real until death,” or “real hasta la muerte.”
Aurora City Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky confirmed the severity of the situation.
“Without a doubt that there is sex trafficking now going on” in relation to TdA’s activities in Aurora, she stated.
One anonymous resident, who recently moved out of the complex, described the gang’s brazen behavior.
“This is organized. They patrol the property with guns visibly, like they’re not trying to hide them. There’s no repercussion. These are ghosts,” the resident said.
The gang’s presence has also been linked to drug dealing within the apartment building, further exacerbating the residents’ fears. The resident, with the help of City Council Member Danielle Jurinsky and congressional candidate John Fabbricatore, managed to relocate.
“I literally had to borrow from everybody I know to get into a new place. And it’s every bit of money I had,” she revealed.
Despite these alarming reports, Aurora Police have downplayed the situation, stating via X, “we believe reports of TdA influence in Aurora are isolated.” Similarly, Denver Police stated that they were “not aware” of any gang takeovers in the area.
The resident expressed frustration over the lack of police intervention.
“There’s no safety net for you because the police are not coming. They say, ‘stay inside and lock your doors.’ I have to work! I was paying rent, these people haven’t been paying rent at all. I’ve been paying rent every month for years,” she lamented.
Councilwoman Jurinsky echoed these concerns, criticizing the broader response to the issue.
“In the entire Denver metro area, it has been like pulling teeth to get anyone, the media, other elected officials, to get anyone to acknowledge the presence of this trend and to acknowledge that there is even a problem,” she said.
The resident recalled a particularly disheartening interaction with the police.
“I hope [the police] do something because they could have helped me get out. Literally. Their answer for me was, ‘you ever think about moving?’ That’s what they told me when I was like, and I started crying,” she recounted.
The sense of abandonment is palpable among the residents.
“There’s no help coming for any of us. The police have checked out. They’re not on our side,” the resident concluded.
Aurora Police reiterated their earlier statement when contacted.

“Defund the police” has been the cry for 4 years from liberal cities. Be careful what you wish for.
