Alpo Martinez’s Killer Arrested, Drug Kingpin Was Murdered Over A Woman

Alpo Martinez Was Reportedly Killed Over A Woman

New York City drug kingpin Alpo Martinez, was gunned down in Harlem last week. Now we’ve exclusively learned that police believe they’ve captured his killer.

There’s also been some insight, on the motive behind the killing of legendary Harlem drug dealer as well.

According to MTO News, it wasn’t Rich Porter’s people who killed him. Nor was it Domencio Benson’s, or Wayne Perry’s. The man taken into custody for his murder wasn’t one of Alpo’s opps from Harlem, Brooklyn, or DC, cities of the high level dealers who Alpo snitched on – to get a lighter prison sentence.

“Po was back in the game selling dope. The baggies he threw out the window when he got shot were testers. He was regularly picking up $100,000 payments in Harlem and Brooklyn and was a plug 🔌,” an insider said.

Alpo was living the same life that he was living back in the 1980s, and 90s. And he had many in Harlem living in fear. Here’s more:

“Po was pressing and backing down anyone who called him a snitch. He would force them to take pictures with him and even backed down some rappers,” the insider continued.

It’s gathered that many of the remaining street figures of that era felt indebted and grateful that Alpo never snitched on them and they vouched for him. Alpo told the feds he would not give up info on anyone from Harlem. Po was doing all this at 55. He was in excellent shape and did not drink, smoke, or take drugs.

According to MTO, police have taken a man from the Bronx into custody and plan on charging him with Alpo’s death. Police gathered surveillance footage from cameras near the scene, and claim that the images tie the murder to their suspect in custody.

Words on the streets is that Alpo had been sleeping with the 20-something year old man’s girlfriend. And when the young man confronted Alpo about cheating, Alpo allegedly slapped the man.
