The three people killed in the vicinity of the Aguaro-Guairiquito National Park, Juan José Rondón municipality, Guárico, were “linked to drug trafficking activities and destabilizing sectors inside and outside the country.”
This assertion was made in a statement issued on Sunday by the Ministry of the Interior, Justice and Peace, where it is confirmed that the three subjects died through legal intervention. They were identified as Octavio José Rojas Martínez (El Fiebre), Johan Manuel Canache (El Canache) and Raúl José Ruiz Ortega (El Bebe), as reported by Últimas Noticias this weekend.
In the statement, the Ministry of the Interior points out that the three killed “belonged to the extinct criminal group known as Tren del Llano” and “were legally intervened after taking up arms against the commissions and confronting the public force.”
In the procedure, three rifles and 104 cartridges were seized, used to try to resist the actions of the authorities, the document adds.
“The Venezuelan State ratifies its commitment to decisively confront criminal organizations, drug traffickers, terrorists and conspirators who seek to attack the peace and stability of Venezuelans,” concludes the statement that attaches the live photos of the three killed displaying firearms.
This Monday it was reported that the Los Llanos Comprehensive Defense Region (Redi) is deployed throughout the 15 municipalities of the Guárico state, following the instructions of the Strategic Operational Command of the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (Ceofanb).
“Redi Los Llanos deployed in Operation Bolivarian Shield Zaraza 2025 for a free and impregnable Homeland,” wrote General in Chief Domingo Hernández Lárez, who is in charge of Ceofanb, on his Instagram account. The publication was accompanied by photos alluding to a batch of weapons allegedly seized in operations carried out.
