Shocking video shows Venezuelan gang beating Colorado property manager to a pulp

A Colorado property manager was allegedly beaten to a pulp by a Venezuelan gang who took over his building.

Shocking video captured the brutal attack at the complex in Aurora, which left the manager needing hospital treatment.

The apartments have garnered national attention in recent months amid reports they have been occupied by Tren de Aragua, a violent Venezuelan gang.

The manager's employers, CBZ Management, shared footage of the 2023 beating as evidence of the crisis, which they blame on the government.

CBZ said the manager was attacked because he refused to take a $500 bribe after discovering a group of migrants squatting in a vacant apartment.

In the clip the manager, dressed in a white shirt, is seen talking to a group of three men in the hallway.

Suddenly they launch themselves at him, unleashing a flurry of punches and kicks.

At one point, one of the men can be seen repeatedly stamping on the manager who lies in a heap on the floor.

A photo taken after the horrific ordeal shows the manager covered in blood and sporting a black eye.

CBZ said the horror continued after the attack, with the manager sent threatening text messages.

'We also frequently found people illegally occupying newly vacated apartments during scheduled tours,' they said in a statement.

'This was initially attributed to an influx of migrants exploiting squatter laws.

'We even received a call from a tenant returning from vacation, only to find strangers living in his apartment. This legitimate tenant was forced to find a new home after police couldn't help him. '

The company hit out at officials for attempting to discredit reports of the gang activity or blaming them for the problem.

Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman called CBZ 'out-of-state slumlords' as he flatly denied the claims.

'I just don't think they're credible,' Mayor Coffman said. 'I mean, I think that prior to the migrant crisis, they were not maintaining these buildings, and we were in court with them prior to the migrant crisis.'

The allegations were also dismissed by ABC News host Martha Raddatz during an interview with Vice Presidential hopeful JD Vance.

However, as DailyMail.com revealed earlier this week , the gang has also terrorized other American cities.

CBZ claim they have been left to fend for themselves, with no assistance provided at city, state or federal level.

'We were left helpless, watching as violence, bullets, and destruction overtook our buildings,' the company said. 'Many of our legitimate tenants fled out of fear.

'Despite the obvious crisis, several city officials refused to acknowledge the reality.

'Instead, they blamed us, citing "code violations" as the reason for shutting down our property—violations we couldn't resolve for tenants who weren't even ours.

'Despite clear evidence, many still deny the reality of the situation, sometimes using us as scapegoats. That's why we are no longer staying silent.

'We will continue to counter falsehoods with simple facts and evidence.'
