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 Manuel A. Perezhas 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 five suspects arrested by Puerto Rican police.[2] Another person was arrested on September the same year.[3] Alex Trujillo, a now reformed former drug dealer who is a Christian preacher, used to deal drugs at this residencial during the late 1990s and early 2000s.[4] In 2023, the Residencial Manuel A. Perez was part of an operation by the FBI.[5] It was one of two residenciales targeted as part of that specific operation.
There has been occasional violence at the Residencial Manuel A. Perez as well; in August 2023, two men were murdered there and a 68 year old suspect was arrested.[6] Another man had been murdered there earlier, in 2022.[7]
In 2024, resident commissioner Jennifer Gonzalez visited to discuss, with residents, a problem with some money that had been assigned to the residencial for remodeling, the latter action which still had not begun.[8]
