INSANE: Venezuelan Gang Members Released On $1K Bond After Shooting In Aurora [WATCH]

Two suspected members of the notorious Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TdA) have been released [1] on bond following their arrests in connection with a July 28 shooting in Aurora, Colorado.

Nixon Azuaje-Perez, 19, and Dixon Azuaje-Perez, 20, were taken into custody by Aurora police for evidence tampering related to the incident at the Nome Street Apartments, one of several properties reportedly under the control of South American criminal organizations.

Aurora police confirmed that both Nixon and Dixon posted a $1,000 bond and are no longer in custody.

“KAMALA’S AMERICA:

-Venezuelan gang members allowed through border and released to freely roam the country

-Take over apartment complex, forcing taxpaying residents to flee

-Involved in a shooting

-Released on $1,000 bond

INSANE!!!!!” – Karoline Leavitt

Their release, despite Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) requesting detainers, has raised concerns among local officials.

Aurora City Council member Danielle Jurinsky criticized the decision, calling it “a shame” and urging law enforcement to take the growing threat of violent gang activity more seriously.

• These Venezuelan illegal alien gang known as the Tren de Aragua
are taking over block by block, apartment complex by apartment complex
—— once captured, they mark Their territory, putting up their gang-related graffiti.
—— gang members are posted throughout various blocks, using alert whistles. They’re watching and communicating…
—— gang members have the internal ‘green light’ to attack Police Officers if confronted.

• Business owners and residents are experiencing a record spike in break-ins, violent attacks (kicking down doors)

• One tenant literally vanished!
—— When the police performed a wellness check on the them, they found an armory of guns, money, and giant barrels of gasoline.
—— to this day, no one knows what happened to that man… and it’s feared he was murdered and his property was taken over.

• the city is covering up the severity of these issues by trying to close some buildings for “code violations”, when it’s really these criminal gangs taking over.
—— the Governor and the mayor are remaining silent…

• Jhonardy Jose Pacheco-Chirino aka “The Cookie Monster”is the ‘shot caller’ of the Tren de Aragua gang in this area.
—— he’s been arrested several times for brutal assault, being involved in several shootings, and has been released every single time

“At some point, the city of Aurora and the state of Colorado have got to get serious about this,” Jurinsky said in an exclusive statement to Fox News [8]. “I’d like to know what the Aurora PD has planned to monitor these two now that they’ve been released on bond.”


The Azuaje-Perez brothers are part of a larger criminal network. The Tren de Aragua gang, which originated in Venezuela, is notorious for its involvement in human trafficking, drug smuggling, and sex trafficking operations across South America.

Law enforcement officials have linked the gang to a growing wave of violence and criminal activity stretching from Miami to New York and now, the Denver metropolitan area.

Along with Nixon and Dixon, two other members of the Tren de Aragua gang, Jhonnarty Dejesus Pacheco-Chirinos and Jhonardy Jose Pacheco-Chirinos, were also arrested in connection with the July 28 shooting.

Unlike the Azuaje-Perez brothers, the Pacheco-Chirinos brothers remain in ICE custody. Known by the street names “Cookie” and “Galleta,” the Pacheco-Chirinos brothers are documented gang members with ties to violent criminal activities.

The Tren de Aragua gang’s presence in Aurora has become a growing concern for local authorities [10].

Reports have surfaced of gang members taking control of apartment complexes, including Whispering Pine Apartments, where vacant units have been used for illegal activities, such as drug trafficking and child prostitution.

According to the apartment manager, gang members openly stated that “minors are a good source of money,” further illustrating the gang’s ruthless operations.

The Tren de Aragua gang arrived in the U.S. in recent years, often blending in with waves of asylum-seeking migrants.

The gang has established a foothold across the country, with members linked to various crimes, including a jewelry heist in Denver and operations along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Their headquarters is believed to be in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, just across the border from El Paso, Texas. U.S. authorities have placed a $5 million bounty on the gang’s leader, Hector Guerrero Flores, who remains at large after escaping from a Venezuelan prison last year.

Law enforcement officials, including U.S. Congressman Tony Gonzales, who represents El Paso, have described the gang as “the epitome of evil.”

Gonzales warned of the gang’s role in human trafficking, murder, and other violent crimes. “This gang is known to rape children, spearhead murders, and cause widespread chaos,” he said.

The Tren de Aragua gang, which formed inside Venezuela’s notorious Tocoron Prison, was designated a transnational criminal organization by the U.S. government in July 2023.

This designation highlights the escalating threat the gang poses to American communities, particularly in states like Colorado, where sanctuary city policies have complicated efforts to detain and deport illegal immigrants with criminal backgrounds.

The Azuaje-Perez brothers were previously apprehended by Border Patrol agents in Eagle Pass, Texas, in August 2023 after crossing the southern border illegally.

Despite their connections to the violent Tren de Aragua gang, they were released into the country with notices to appear for their court dates.

As law enforcement officials continue to address the growing influence of Tren de Aragua in the U.S., the release of the Azuaje-Perez brothers on bond has raised concerns about public safety and the challenges posed by sanctuary city policies in places like Denver, where local authorities do not cooperate with ICE detainers.
