The Edge at Lowry complex in Aurora officially closes
AURORA, Colo. (KDVR) — The notorious apartment complex, The Edge at Lowry in Aurora, officially shut down Tuesday morning. A court order demanded the complex near Dallas Street and East 12th Avenue be closed by 8 a.m. The judge issued the emergency order to close the complex in January, calling the complex an 'immediate threat to public safety.' FOX31's Jim Hooley said all residents vacated the complex before the 8 a.m. deadline. However, advocates for the people living at The Edge at Lowry claim residents didn't receive the proper treatment from the city and enough help to move out. In total, they said 32 families have been relocated with help from the community, donations and grants from the city. 10th person charged in 'violent' Aurora apartment kidnapping arrested, 2 still wanted The closure stems from the alleged takeover of the complex by suspected Venezuelan gang members. There have also been several reported criminal offenses at the complex. According to a petition filed by the city of Aurora, The Edge at Lowry had over 60 offenses since September 2023, including reports of aggravated assault with a gun or blunt weapon, robbery, larceny and several other crimes. The complex was the scene of armed apartment break-ins captured on surveillance videos and a deadly shooting in the summer of 2024. The city of Aurora is still locked in a legal battle over violation at the apartments with the owner of the complex. Both sides are due in court next month. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

DENVER (KDVR) — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement targeted over 100 members of the Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua, for arrest and detention as part of the multi-location immigration enforcement operation in Aurora and Denver Wednesday morning. This operation, which the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration Rocky Mountain Division is calling the 'Return to Sender Operation,' took at least 10 people into custody at the Cedar Run Apartments at 888 S Oneida St. in Denver, according to a DEA spokesperson on scene. FOX31's Jim Hooley was at the apartment complex where residents told him they received a knock on their door around 6 a.m. with officers asking for their identification. Another nearby witness said he saw people being taken out of their cars.

This operation was reportedly delayed because information was leaked and posed security threats.
