A 31‑year‑old boss of the Tren de Aragua gang, Ender Alexis Rojas Montan, fell to his death from an eighth‑floor balcony during a Colombian police raid on October 9.
The body‑camera footage released by the Colombian National Police shows Rojas Montan scrambling along the balcony railing as officers burst into his Antioquia apartment with a battering ram and guns drawn.
He lost his grip, dropped 30 feet, and hit the concrete sidewalk, where the police later found his bloodied body.
Police say Rojas Montan was trying to escape the raid, which is part of a wider operation called “Operation Shadow 3.” The raid involved officers from Colombia, Chile, and Peru, with support from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and Ameripol.
The trio of countries worked together to shut down a network linked to Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan‑origin gang that has spread into parts of Colombia and Chile.
During the search, police seized a fragmentation grenade and an estimated 500 grams of amphetamines worth about $9,550 dollars. Three other men—Luis Alberto Cabeza Calderón (alias “Toro”), Yonathan Samuel Urbina Rodriguez, and Daviannys del Jesús Moya Avila—were arrested on the scene. All are Venezuelan nationals.
Cabeza Calderón is known as one of the most trusted allies of Tren de Aragua’s top figure, Hector Rusthenford Guerrero Flores, a suspect in several crimes including extortion and drug trafficking, who has been wanted in Peru since 2023.
The Reuters‑style rewrite keeps the story clear and active, avoids passive constructions, and highlights key terms like “Tren de Aragua gang,” “Colombian police raid,” “gang leader death,” “Operation Shadow 3,” “drug trafficking,” and “kidnapping” to help improve search visibility.
