Ender Alexis Rojas, known as "Gordo Mayeya," the alleged leader of the Venezuelan criminal organization Tren de Aragua, died after jumping from a sixth-floor balcony in Antioquia, Colombia. Authorities confirmed that Rojas was wanted for multiple crimes, including kidnapping and money laundering.

According to police reports, Rojas had been living in Colombia since 2024 and was also linked to criminal operations in Chile and Peru. A video released by law enforcement shows the moment he jumped from the balcony as officers arrived to arrest him.
