Residencial Manuel A. Perez
Residencial Manuel A. Perez is an apartment complex in San Juan, Puerto Rico. It is named after Manuel A. Perez, an agricultural official, teacher and interim governor of Puerto Rico who was born in the city of Comerio.[1]
Like many other residenciales in Puerto Rico, the residencial has had a drug-trafficking operations problem. On March 7, 2023, the international news agency, EFE, reported that an alleged leader of a Manuel A. Perez drug cartel was among 5 suspects arrested by Puerto Rican police.[2] Another person was arrested on September of that same year.[3] Alex Trujillo, a now reformed former drug dealer who is a Christian preacher, used to deal drugs at the residencial during the late 1990s and early 2000s.[4]
There has been occasional violence at the residencial as well; in August 2023, two men were murdered there and a 68 year old suspect was arrested.[5] Another man had been murdered there earlier, in 2022.[6]
