Police officers from Miranda State confronted cells of the gang founded by Wilexis Acevedo Monasterios (El Wilexis) and killed two of their members.
This procedure occurred on Thursday morning in the El Cercado sector, Ambrosio Plaza municipality (Guarenas), Miranda state, where the police commission arrived and confronted members of the group led by alias Cabeza de Motor, who was injured and taken to a health center where he was admitted without vital signs.
Later, in the upper part of El Cercado, a second confrontation with several armed individuals occurred, where a subject known as Jonaiker Fox Morao was mortally wounded and died a few minutes later, the report says.
Both Cabeza de Motor and Fox Morao are related to the El Wilexis criminal gang. Apparently they provided him with shelter when the criminal leader left the José Félix Ribas neighborhood (Petare) fleeing from police operations.
During these procedures, officers seized two firearms: a 9mm Tanfoglio and a .38 revolver.
According to the files, the two killed are involved in homicide, aggravated robbery and extortion.
The deployment of Polimiranda in the aforementioned sector of Guarenas is part of the operation activated after alias El Wilexis was shot down during a confrontation he had this Wednesday with Cicpc agents on the Petare-Santa Lucía highway.
CICPC commissions were in that area participating in the Bolivarian Shield exercises, aimed at exercising control over armed groups that generate violence, among others.
The El Wilexis gang had been involved in several politically motivated acts of violence in Petare associated with the plans of the Venezuelan far right, according to the explanation given by the Minister of the Interior, Justice and Peace, Diosdado Cabello.
