Carlos Gabriel Aranguren-Mayora, the man accused of entering the bedroom window of a sleeping couple and holding them at gunpoint in Aurora, was involved in two other alleged crimes this past summer, one of them involving a former girlfriend whom he is alleged to have terrorized.
He is one of 10 men arrested by the Aurora police and tagged as members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.
Court records show that Aranguren-Mayora entered the country illegally on Aug. 30, 2023 and was apprehended by the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol in El Paso.
By mid-December, he was in Colorado, where he was arrested by the Aurora Police and eventually charged in Adams County with menacing and criminal mischief. On Jan. 16, 2024, Aranguren-Mayora was released on a $1,500 bond.
The alleged domestic violence involving his girlfriend happened at The Edge at Lowry apartment complex at 12th and Dallas in Aurora, where she lived. The incident rolled over a period of two days, April 7 and 8 this year, according to the arrest affidavit.
