Overview
Dan Reilly served with the Federal Bureau of Investigation for approximately three decades, including assignments involving violent gangs in the Washington, D.C. area. In later interviews he has discussed the investigations of Wayne “Silk” Perry and Alberto “Alpo” Martinez and the development of the FBI’s Safe Streets approach.
FBI Career
Biographical material accompanying Reilly’s later interviews describes service from 1980 to 2002 in property-crime, violent-crime, and violent-gang investigations. A retired-agent case review states that he served six years as an FBI photographer/technician and twenty-four years as a special agent and helped start the FBI Safe Streets Task Force Program.
Wayne Perry Investigation
Reilly has described Perry as a principal violent-gang target in Washington and has recounted investigative strategies used against Perry’s network. These retrospective interviews are valuable investigator testimony but should be distinguished from indictments, pleas, and sentencing records when reconstructing individual homicides.
Connection to the Martinez Investigation
Reilly’s later accounts also connect him to the investigation surrounding Alberto Martinez. His recollections help explain how the Martinez and Perry cases intersected from the law-enforcement perspective.
Network Connections
- Wayne “Silk” Perry — major investigative target discussed by Reilly.
- Alberto “Alpo” Martinez — subject in the related drug-and-violence investigation.
- Angelo Parisi — D.C. narcotics officer connected to the same investigative history.
Evidence Status
C with institutional corroboration. Reilly’s career and investigative role are documented through retired-agent biographies and interviews; specific operational details should be attributed to his recollections unless separately established in official records.
