Héctor Rusthenford Guerrero Flores, known as “Niño Guerrero” and identified as a leader of the notorious Aragua Train gang, has been killed in Bolívar state, Venezuela. The Venezuelan government, through Vice President Delcy Rodríguez, confirmed his death. This confirmation followed statements by former US President Donald Trump alleging the involvement of US forces in the operation. Venezuelan authorities have acknowledged a “joint” operation with the United States led to Guerrero’s death, marking a rare admission of direct security cooperation between the two nations. The Aragua Train is a transnational criminal organization originating in Venezuela, responsible for a range of crimes including extortion, kidnapping, and murder, with operations extending into neighboring countries. Details surrounding the operation remain limited, but the event signals a potential shift in strategies to combat organized crime in the region. The incident is likely to spark further debate regarding sovereignty and international security collaboration.
