Exegesis
The participles paragenomenos {παραγενόμενος | paragenómenos} ‘having arrived’ and eiselthōn {εἰσελθὼν | eiselthôn} ‘having entered’ form a sequence of aorist participles of attendant circumstance that build up to the main finite verb apēngeilen {ἀπήγγειλεν | apḗngeilen} ‘he reported’.
In context — Acts 23:16
But when the son of Paul's sister heard of the ambush , having arrived and having entered into the barracks, he reported it to Paul.
