Aurora Apartment Complex Closure Includes Tenant Support

The Edge of Lowry apartment complex in Aurora is facing an emergency closure after a judge deemed it an 'imminent threat to public safety and welfare' due to rampant crime linked to the Tren de Aragua gang. Reports indicate over 60 criminal incidents since September 2023, including aggravated assaults, kidnappings, and drug-related offenses. A recent kidnapping and torture incident involving gang members prompted the city's legal action against the property owners, Five Dallas Partners LLC. Aurora officials are coordinating with Arapahoe County to provide relocation assistance to the affected tenants. The closure is part of a broader effort to address criminal activity and improve living conditions in the area. The property's closure aligns with previous actions taken against other problematic complexes in Aurora, emphasizing the city's commitment to public safety.
