In the heart of Denver, a major bust has shaken up the local crime scene. A secretive drug operation was unraveled by federal investigators. This group was known to be a well-known gang from Venezuela, Tren de Aragua. This group was already infamous in the national media. The group is accused of taking over an apartment complex in Aurora. What made this bust especially alarming was the undercover agents' experience during the investigation. Multiple gun purchases were made during the investigation. The group was also involved in selling "pink cocaine" and even offering women for parties. The investigation was a joint effort with the local and national authorities.

        In the end, seven people were arrested, but only one person was named in the criminal complaint. This person was a 36-year-old man named Jose Manuel Guerra-Caballero. The U. S. Attorney's Office for the District of Colorado has charged Guerra-Caballero with conspiracy to distribute more than 500 grams of a substance containing methamphetamine. He was also charged with possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime. Guerra-Caballero was arrested in Indiana.
