BOSTON — Yoldari Tejeda Coronado pleaded guilty on Oct. 28, 2026, to conspiracy to conduct enterprise affairs through a pattern of racketeering activity.
Coronado admitted during the plea hearing that he was a member of the Boston Chapter of the Trinitarios. He also admitted that he conspired to commit a home invasion in Lawrence in July 2025.
During the July 2025 incident, two gunmen forced an individual into their residence and robbed the residence. A vehicle associated with Coronado’s girlfriend was identified as being used by the robbers.
Evidence against Coronado included recordings in which he offered to conduct the robbery of a drug stash house. In one recording, he discussed planning the robbery with undercover agents posing as individuals responsible for transporting a large quantity of cocaine for a Mexican drug cartel. Coronado agreed to take multiple kilograms of cocaine as payment for the planned robbery.
Coronado was also the subject of a recorded conversation involving Enmanuel Paula-Cabral, who described Coronado as having conducted a robbery of a drug dealer. Paula-Cabral stated in the recording that he used his authority as leader of the Trinitarios to have Coronado return the drugs to the drug dealer. Cooperating witnesses, social media images, and tattoos confirmed that Coronado was a member of the Trinitarios since at least 2023.
Coronado was arrested and charged in December 2025 as part of a related case. The charge provides for a sentence of up to life in prison, five years of supervised release, and a fine of up to $250,000. U.S. Senior District Court Judge Nathaniel M. Gorton scheduled sentencing for Jan. 27, 2027.
