Jose Sanjenis was a Chief of Police during Cuban President Carlos Prio's regime who went into exile after Fidel Castro took power.
He reportedly chose most of the original 40(?) members of the CIA assassination squad, Operation 40[citation needed], most of whom were Cubans. and Perdomo was a closely associate with Operation 40 member and Watergate burglar, Frank Sturgis.[1]
Jose Sanjenis Perdomo was working as the doorman at the Dakota on Dec. 8, 1980, the night John Lennon was killed. He was at the crime scene when the shooting occurred and asked Mark David Chapman immediately afterwards if he knew what he had just done. Chapman reportedly replied that he had just shot John Lennon. Perdomo's name may not have been released for several years after the event.[citation needed]
