On September 20, 2023, the Venezuelan government intervened in the prison of Tocorón, in the state of Aragua, where the criminal gang that became a transnational criminal organization more than a decade ago was ‘born’.
When the police and military entered the prison, there were no traces of Héctor Rusthenford Guerrero Flores, alias ‘El Niño Guerrero’, leader of the ‘Aragua Train’.
