President Donald Trump says a U.S. military strike killed the alleged leader of Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua gang. In posts on Truth Social, Trump identifies the target as Héctor Rusthenford Guerrero Flores, also known as Niño Guerrero, describing him as the “infamous” leader of the group. Multiple outlets report that the Trump administration says the operation was coordinated with the government of Venezuela, with the Financial Times and NBC News citing cooperation with officials associated with Delcy Rodríguez.

The reports also describe how the name Niño Guerrero is tied to Guerrero Flores’ alleged role in the gang’s evolution from a Venezuelan prison gang into a broader criminal and terrorist network operating across multiple countries in the region. One outlet also notes that the U.S. previously sought information about Guerrero Flores, including a stated reward and related U.S. federal charges filed in New York.

U.S. details on the strike location and timing are not consistently specified across the coverage, but one report says Trump shared a short video showing an explosion at a building surrounded by greenery. Across sources, the key points are Trump’s announcement of the killing and the reported coordination with Venezuela.
