U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) placed detainers on two illegal aliens from Venezuela, including one of them with probable ties to the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, after they kidnapped a Washington state woman and used a power drill on her hand before shooting her in January, according to law enforcement officials.

Kevin Daniel Sanabria Ojeda, 24, and 25-year-old Alexander Moises Arnaez-Gutierrez were both charged last week with kidnapping, robbery and attempted murder in King County, Washington.

Charging documents obtained by Fox News Digital allege that Sanabria Ojeda and Arnaez-Gutierrez kidnapped the female victim as she returned to her apartment in Burien around 10 p.m. on Jan. 21.

“They used a power drill to drill into (the victim’s) hand to get access to her cell phone and bank accounts,” the King County Sheriff’s Office wrote in the arrest report. “They then threatened her by telling her they were going to kill her, kill her family, feed her to the bears and dump her body far away.”

The report claims Sanabria Ojeda and Arnaez-Gutierrez drove the woman to Kittitas County before shooting her on the side of Interstate 90.

After waiting about 15 minutes, the woman climbed over a retaining wall and flagged down help, the report noted.
