Alpo was drug dealer of Puerto Rican ancestry from Harlem, New York City. He rose to prominence in the mid–1980s, and became famous after being played by the rapper Cam’ron in the popular 2002 biographical movie Paid In Full.

Martinez had an extremely violent history, and is believed to have killed dozens of people.

Martinez was released in 2015 while serving a 35-year sentence for 14 counts of murder at ADX Florence, a federal supermax prison located in Fremont County, Colorado. He got out early because he testified against former associates and has since been living under a United States witness protection program.

But Alpo wasn’t living in the shadows however. He returned to Harlem and was living openly – among his many enemies.
