Three illegal aliens were shot, two fatally, in New York City on Sunday in what authorities believe was gang violence committed by members of a Venezuelan street gang.
At around 10:44 p.m., one illegal alien was fatally shot in the chest near Flushing Avenue and Steuben Street, just outside of the Brooklyn Navy Yard. He reportedly passed away soon after being rushed to Methodist Hospital.
Just seven minutes later, two illegal aliens were shot outside of the Ryerson illegal alien shelter. One, identified only as a 47-year-old man, was fatally shot in the head and died immediately — while another was hit multiple times and is currently in the hospital in critical condition.
According to the New York Police Department (NYPD), both of the shootings were committed by the same man, and all of the individuals involved in the incidents were illegal aliens. Investigators currently believe that the shooting is connected to the deadly Venezuelan street gang known as Tren de Aragua. The shooter was taken into custody after the motorbike he was driving was struck by a car near the second shooting scene.

In a statement about the shootings, far-left New York Attorney General Letitia James attempted to characterize them as “gun violence” rather than gang violence or illegal alien crime.
“Last night, two people were killed and one critically injured in Clinton Hill as a result of gun violence,” the statement read.
“My office is working with the New York City Police Department and local elected officials to get information about these shootings and inform the community,” James continued. “We must do more to protect our communities from the dangers of gun violence and ensure that all our neighbors have access to the support they need and feel safe on our streets.”
Meanwhile, federal law enforcement has become increasingly concerned about the growing number of Tren de Aragua members pouring into the U.S. through President Joe Biden’s wide open border, according to Breitbart News. The gang has become a major player in widespread crime in New York City, and the Biden administration was forced to actually order Border Patrol to check for Tren de Aragua tattoos on incoming illegal aliens.
