Carlos Luis Revete

For six years he ruled Tejerías, the capital of the Santos Michelena municipality, with an iron fist. Cops began in 2015 by taking over Cota 905, a sprawling slum neighborhood in Caracas that Koki and his gang turned into a stronghold.

Cops saw what the gang’s firepower was after 3 days of clashes left 26 dead and 38 wounded.
