ICE Chicago detained two potential shooters in the December 2024 mass shooting tied to the Tren de Aragua gang.
They are strongly suspected of being the shooters in the December mass shooting that killed three people and wounded five others in Chicago, leading to the arrests of more than a dozen suspected Tren de Aragua gang members.
One of the two men, Edward Cermeno was released by a Magistrate judge, but ICE later picked him up for entering the country illegally. They caught him at the border.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced on Tuesday that suspected shooters Ricardo Granadillo Padilla, 25, and Edward Martinez Cermeno, 24, are being charged in the Dec. 2 house party massacre. They haven’t been charged in that crime yet.
Eight people were shot, including five men and three women between the ages of 20 and 35, according to a report from affiliate FOX 32 Chicago. They were shot in the head, abdomen and extremities. Three men were murdered; two were in their twenties.
Gang-related graffiti was found at the scene, and officials confirmed prior calls for service at the address, FOX 32 reported.
When Padilla was picked up, his Chicago home was littered with multiple guns, high-capacity magazines, narcotics, and fraudulent documents.
Padilla and Cermeno remain in federal custody, according to ICE.
Within the last few weeks, 16 additional TdA members and associates of Padilla and Cermeno in the Chicago and Raleigh areas were arrested by ICE HSI Chicago on immigration charges.

Put them both in a cell with “Judge”(sic) Hannah Dugan.
Another ‘Poster Boy’ for the ‘democrats’…
No worries, some activist Biden/Obama judge will release them no matter how many Americans they killed. They’re “special people” to Democrats and our laws don’t apply to them because they’re illegal.
I would prefer they be deported. I’m not interested in wasting any money on trials. Get them out.
You must have voted for Word Salad Kammy. If you just deport them, they will be back in 3 days max. If you jail them for murder, or execute them (my preference), they will not murder any more Americans. Isn’t that what we all really want?
YUP – string ’em up. They tried to skip out. Whoops!
Shot while trying to escape? Works for me.
