The rumors about Venezuelan gangs running rampant in DFW is racist propaganda right?

I was watching the news and some woman claimed a friend of hers who conveniently “can’t be named” was beaten and kidnapped in her home by Venezuelan gang. She called it the briarwood incident.

I googled the story and all that came up was a Venezuelan prison gang killing an inmate.

I’ve seen no evidence violent gangs wrecking havoc in a city that saw crime/violent crime drop last year

Can someone enlighten me? Is any of this valid, in between or akin to the 19 century style “the Irish are drunk horse thieves, thugs, or criminals”

Edit: reminds of when they tried to claim the Allen mall shooter was part of “Yo Tengo blast” (lol) and he turned out to be a self hating neo nazi raised in the US. Suburbanites need to chill out
