A man accused of murdering former New York City drug lord Alberto “Alpo” Martinez has been arrested by the NYPD.
Shakeem Parker, 27, is currently facing murder and weapons charges for the murder of Alpo, who was fatally shot in Harlem on October 31, 2021. Alpo was shot six times in the arm and once in chest through the car window but continued to drive the truck 4 blocks before crashing.
Parker was on Rikers Island.
Alpo was released from prison in 2015 after serving a sentence for his involvement in 14 counts of murder. He cooperated with the government to get a shorter sentence and is on the federal witness protection program in Maine under the name Abraham Rodriguez. But Alpo couldn’t stay in Harlem and that’s where he lost his life. Rumor has it that his death was because of a woman, while others reported that he was killed because of a traffic dispute.
