The second illegal immigrant who allegedly fled from the Colorado detention center during a blackout last month was captured Tuesday while on a bus, authorities said.
Gailondo Vido Romero, 24, who has been accused of having ties to the Venezuela Tren de Aragua gang, was caught while riding a bus in Denver, the US Marshalls Service said.
Vido-Romero was arrested in February by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and was suspected of resisting shoplifting and arrest.
On March 18, he and Joel Jose Gonzalez, 32, allegedly fled from Denver Contract Detention Facility in Aurora during a blackout.

According to court and police documents, Vido Romero lived in an now-closed apartment in Aurora. There, armed Tren de Aragua members were seen entering a viral video apartment that caught the attention of President Donald Trump during last year's presidential election.
