Authorities in New York arrested a pair of illegal Venezuelan migrants with alleged gang ties in connection to the murder of a 59-year-old man.
Police in Rensselaer, New York, arrested Moises Alejandro Candollo-Urbaneja, 22, and Gregory Marlyn Galindez-Trias, 24, last week, according to The National News Desk. An investigation into the couple revealed that they are from Venezuela and in the United States illegally. Police also believe the couple are members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, the members of which have been involved in high-profile crimes across the U.S.
“Our investigation revealed both parties are in this country illegally from Venezuela,” Rensselaer Police Chief Warren Famiglietti said in a statement, according to Fox News. “Both parties are believed to be affiliated with Tren de Aragua, a transnational criminal organization from Venezuela.”
