[4] He began his life in crime at age 14, dealing drugs at Residencial Manuel A. Perez in Hato Rey, an area of San Juan.
According to the Orlando Sentinel, a drug war between competing factions arose after his capture, with newer gangs trying to break into Trujillo's former dealing spots.
He had a Bible with him the day he was arrested, and immediately after being jailed asked for a meeting with a religious leader, pastor Edgardo Aubray.
He began weekly meetings with the religious leader and found out that among other inmates near him there was the Puerto Rican politician, Jorge de Castro Font.
The two embraced and Trujillo allegedly asked him for forgiveness in case he ever attempted against the man's life and told him he forgave him for the murder of Polanski.
