Jorge S. Lamadriz Villaverde was a Cuban-born exile living in the United States of America. He was a lifelong Catholic anticommunist and anti-Castro activist (activista anticastra).[1] He escaped the Castro regime and made his way to Miami. While in Miami, he became a staunch and vocal opponent of Fidel Castro, and was connected through his brother Rafael Villaverde to the Bay of Pigs Invasion.
He was later suspected of having been a member of a vast Cuban-American narcotics and drug smuggling ring. In 2002, Villaverde was murdered in a drive-by shooting while taking out the trash.
