    In September 2022, St. Felix and his crew invaded a man and his family’s home in Delray Beach, Florida, holding them at gunpoint before kidnapping the man and leaving him about 120 miles from his home. In December 2022, the criminal gang attacked a home in Little Elm, Texas, holding the entire family at gunpoint for over three hours.

    In April 2023, the group broke into a home in Durham, North Carolina, holding a couple at gunpoint, restraining them with cable ties, and assaulting them before making away with over $150,000 in cryptocurrency. In July 2023, Felix attempted another home invasion in Long Island, New York, before being identified and arrested.
