Two members of cells associated with Wilexis Acevedo Monasterio (the wilexis), were killed in the San José sector, José Antonio Páez alley, Petare, Sucre municipality (Miranda), according to police sources.
Agents attached to the Motorized Division of the Bolivarian National Police were patrolling in that place on Thursday afternoon, who confronted an armed group, resulting in the death of two individuals.
The dejected are known by the nicknames of El Chino Bombilla and El Oriente. At the site, the police seized two 9 mm pistols: Tanfoglio and Beretta Px4.
The criminal organization founded by alias El Wilexis, has influence in the José Félix Ribas neighborhood of Petare where it distributes drugs and collects vaccines in dollars from merchants in the sector, according to investigations.
But, since May 2020, the organization has divided into small cells, many of which distanced themselves from El Wilexis, according to reports.
