Read our privacy policy More than a dozen people tied up, pistol whipped and terrorized a man and woman at a crime-riddled apartment complex in a Denver suburb, the city’s police chief said Tuesday, adding it appeared to be a gang-related attack on two Venezuelan immigrants. Police said around 13 to 15 armed people accosted the man and woman at their apartment in a complex, which was the scene of a viral video that led now President-elect President Donald Trump to claim Aurora had been taken over by a Venezuelan gang. The man, who was also stabbed during the roughly five-hour ordeal that began Monday night, is expected to survive, Aurora Police Chief Todd Chamberlain said. On X, the company posted a news story about the home invasion, saying “We hope the message is learned so it doesn’t spread any more!” Chamberlain said the complex where many Venezuelan immigrants have ended up living was poorly managed.
