Details of Alberto “Alpo” Martinez’s frantic final moments are coming into focus — as the investigation continues into the drug kingpin’s drive-by shooting death.
The notorious drug dealer, who was shot five times & killed early Sunday in Harlem, was throwing baggies of drugs out his truck’s window as he tried to drive away from the scene, a police source said Monday.
About a dozen of the baggies were found on the street spaced a few feet apart near West 147th Street & Frederick Douglass Boulevard after Martinez was shot in his 2017 Dodge Ram.
The source said it looks like he was “throwing them out the window” because he knew police would be arriving.
Martinez, who had been in a federal witness protection program, apparently wanted to evade capture.
A video of the crime scene watched by a reporter depicts baggies that contain a brown substance strewn on the street. The drug appeared to be heroin.
He was rushed to Harlem Hospital following the shooting but couldn’t be saved.
It wasn’t clear if Martinez had been released from witness protection or if he was just visiting his old stomping grounds when he was killed, the source said. Photos show bullet holes in his truck’s driver’s window.
He was in possession of identification with the name Abraham Rodriguez of Lewiston, Maine, when police arrived, according to cops.
Martinez was immortalized in hip-hop songs & the movie “Paid in Full,” which centered around his childhood friend Richard Porter. Martinez admitted to killing him in 1990 because he believed Porter was stealing drug profits.
Martinez spent decades behind bars before being released in 2015.
