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.
