The Edge at Lowry apartment complex in Aurora, Colorado, which gained national attention following a viral video in August showing armed men believed to be linked to Venezuelan-born "Tren de Aragua" gang entering an apartment shortly before a fatal shooting, is poised to close early next year after city officials filed a criminal nuisance complaint due to ongoing violent crime and poor living conditions.
The episode gained national attention after President-elect Donald Trump cited the scenes in the building as an example of migrant criminal violence in the country during the presidential debate. "Venezuelan gang members have taken over parts of the city because these stupid people leading our country are allowing these criminals to come into our country," Trump added during an August rally. "We're going to get them the hell out of here."
