Two people originally from Venezuela were arrested in Rensselaer in connection with a Connecticut homicide.

Rensselaer Police received information that two people had used a stolen credit card at the Amtrak station in Rensselaer. That card had been stolen from the victim of a homicide in Stamford, Connecticut, according to police.

Officers found the suspects – 24-year-old Gregory Marlyn Galindez-Trias and 22-year-old Moises Alejandro Candollo-Urbaneja – on Elm Street one block from the train station. They were walking with two children ages 1 and 3.

Galindez-Trias and Candollo-Urbaneja had items belonging to the homicide victim, police said.

Both suspects are in the country illegally and are believed to be affiliated with a transnational criminal organization called Tren de Aragua, according to investigators. Police contacted agents from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement and issued detainers for both subjects.

They were charged with being a fugitive from justice. The pair was arraigned in Rensselaer City Court on Thursday and sent to Rensselaer County Jail waiting to be transported back to Stamford. Both children were turned over to Child Protective Services.

The two are wanted in connection with the death of a 59-year-old man who was shot and killed at the Super 8 Hotel in Stamford, NBC CT reported.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call Sgt. Luis Serna at 203-977-4417 or to send a confidential tip by text by messaging “StamfordPD” and the tip information to 847411 (tip411).
