Four migrants believed to have ties to Venezula’s Tren de Aragua gang indicted in violent Denver jewelry heist

Four Venezuelan migrants believed to have links to the notorious prison gang Tren de Aragua were indicted Wednesday in the violent armed robbery of a Denver jewelry store — including two migrants who have previously been arrested in other states, The Post can reveal.

Three of the alleged gangbangers — Oswaldo Lozada-Solis, 23, Jesus Daniel Lara Del Toro, 20, and Jean Franco Torres-Roman, 21 — were charged with armed robbery and brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence, the US Attorney’s Office for the District of Colorado announced Wednesday .

The fourth migrant, Edwuimar Nazareth Colina-Romero, 18, was charged with transporting stolen goods and possession of stolen goods.

The charges stem from a June 25 robbery in which two female staffers at Joyeria El Ruby Jewelry Store were pistol-whipped and threatened with death.

The Post previously reported that Torres-Roman was arrested in Chicago and charged with unlawful use of a weapon after he was allegedly caught trying to stash a stolen gun — but was cut loose by a judge just a month before the Denver heist. Authorities have since identified the 21-year-old as a member of Tren de Aragua.

Now, The Post can reveal that another migrant allegedly involved in the armed robbery is also believed to have ties to the Venezuelan gang and had prior a bust in another state before he went on to terrorize the jewelry store.

Lozada-Solis was nabbed by the NYPD in November 2023 after he allegedly blew through several stoplights on a scooter with no license plates and no driver’s license, according to a criminal complaint.

He was charged with reckless endangerment in the second degree, but it’s unclear if the charges were dismissed or if he was arraigned and cut loose with a future court date.

Lozada Solis crossed the border into Laredo in October of 2022, according to Homeland Security records obtained by The Post. He had told border authorities that he was heading to Atlanta and was let into the country with an ankle monitor.

However, the illegal migrant cut the monitor off after about 200 days, according to the records. It is unclear when he arrived in the Big Apple.

Three days after the Denver heist, Lozada-Solis, Torres-Roman and Colina-Romero were all captured at a Motel 6 in El Paso, Texas, according to sources.

The motel is “notoriously used by transnational criminal organizations in the smuggling/harboring of illegal aliens and illegal drugs attempting to make it further into the United States,” sources said.

Officers also arrested seven others at the motel believed to be tied to the same Tren de Aragua operation, including another migrant, Newman Castillo Delgado, who has a rap sheet. Castillo Delgado, however, has not been indicted in the jewelry store robbery.

Castillo Delgado was previously nabbed in Chicago for allegedly shoplifting $3,114 worth of Ralph Lauren clothing from a local department store in June 2023, according to CWB Chicago .

A judge later released him pending prosecution, the outlet reported.

Castillo Delgado then failed to appear in court after his release and a warrant was subsequently issued for his arrest, according to the Cook County Clerk’s Office.

Castillo Delgado crossed the border illegally into Texas in August 2022, when he was released by Border Patrol and enrolled in a tracking program, which he absconded around January 2023, according to Homeland Security sources.

While making the arrests at Motel 6, police found a firearm and the stolen jewelry, which the group was trying to flush down the toilet, according to sources.
