NEW YORK – Two men, Kelvin Servita Arocha and Wilson Juarez, have been identified as the individuals responsible for attacking New York City police officers. According to authorities, the suspects are linked to the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang.
The attack occurred in the early hours of the morning, when the two men approached a marked police car and fired multiple rounds at the officers inside. The officers sustained injuries, but fortunately, they are expected to make a full recovery.
The Tren de Aragua gang has been known for its involvement in violent crimes and narcotics trafficking. The gang’s reach extends beyond Venezuela, and it appears that its influence has made its way to the streets of New York City.
Law enforcement agencies are working diligently to apprehend Arocha and Juarez and bring them to justice for their heinous actions. The attack has raised concerns about the presence of international criminal organizations operating within the United States and the threats they pose to public safety.
The NYPD is urging anyone with information about the whereabouts of the suspects to come forward and assist in their capture. The department is also taking additional measures to ensure the safety of officers and the community at large in light of this alarming incident.
As the investigation unfolds, the authorities are seeking to understand the extent of the Tren de Aragua gang’s activities in the United States and prevent further violence perpetrated by its members. The case serves as a stark reminder of the challenges law enforcement faces in combating transnational criminal organizations and safeguarding communities from their harmful influence.
