Just two weeks after the U.S. designated Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua a transnational criminal organization, two deadly shootings near a Brooklyn migrant shelter have raised further concerns about the presence of the group's presence in New York City.
Both shootings took place on Sunday night, just minutes apart from each other. One involved masked gunmen on motorcycles, around 11 p.m. outside a shelter at 29 Ryerson St. The 21-year-old victim, identified as Enny De Jesus, was targeted by the assailants.
