A district court judge has signed two more arrest warrants for suspects involved in viral surveillance video showing armed men bursting into an apartment in Aurora, Colorado.
The suspects are wanted for their involvement in the Aug. 18 shooting and their appearance on security camera footage, according to a release shared by Aurora Police on social media.

The two suspects, Edilson Yoel Pena-Angulo, 25, and Daniel Alamillo-Meneses, 23, are wanted for first-degree robbery and felony menacing with a firearm.
Last month, 10 Venezuelans were arrested with ties to the transnational criminal organization Torren de Aragua, but Aurora PD says none of the six suspects featured in the viral video have ties to the criminal organization. He claimed there was no such thing.

Their warrants were signed by an Arapahoe County District Court judge late Monday afternoon.
“Police leadership is once again undermining the work of the men and women of the police force who have worked so hard to not only identify the Torren de Aragua gang members in this video, but also to prove these cases. I think it's very insulting and I'm against them,'' Aurora City Councilman Daniel Jurinsky said in an exclusive interview with FOX News Digital.

Operation Safe Haven, a special task force within the Aurora Police Department tasked with investigating crimes against local immigrant communities, filed two arrest warrants in court.
Viral surveillance video taken shortly before the Aug. 18 shooting shows six armed men. One of the armed suspects, Naudi López Fernandez, 21, is in custody.

Five of the six people were identified as positive. “Operation Safe Haven investigators are actively searching for all cold suspects in conjunction with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies,” Aurora police said in a statement.
“Investigators are also working to positively identify the last remaining suspect in the hope that a future arrest warrant will be prepared and filed in court,” the release continued.

Colorado became a sanctuary state in 2019 after Democratic Governor Jared Polis signed House Bill 19-1124. Denver is also a sanctuary city, meaning it does not cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
