A Dallas County grand jury has indicted three members of a violent Venezuelan gang for the abduction and death of another of their members in Farmers Branch in August.
Police say Nilzult Petit was killed by fellow members of Tren de Aragua. Petit and two teenagers who were under age 16 were kidnapped from a Dallas apartment on August 24th. His body was dumped along a road in Farmers Branch. The two teenagers were found walking along the I-35E frontage road in Lewisville. Neither was harmed.
Police think Petit had been a member of an ATM theft ring. They say other gang members suspected Petit was skimming their profits so they put an end to it with a bullet.
The three were indicted for aggravated kidnapping with a deadly weapon. A fourth gang member has been on the run.
