The Shower Posse originated in the Tivoli
Gardens section of Kingston, Jamaica, and its
members have been avid supporters of the Jamaican
Labor Party (JLP). In September, 1988, a federal
grand jury indicted 34 members of the Shower
Posse, including Lester Lloyd Coke, alias Big Jim
Brown, the Shower Posse leader in Kingston, as
well as Vivian Blake, the leader of the Shower Posse
in the United States. Blake's two half-brothers,
Errol Hussing and Tony Bruce, who headed the
New York City operations of the Shower Posse,
were also indicted. Coke is scheduled for an extradition hearing from Jamaica. Vivian Blake is still a
fugitive, and intelligence information indicates that
as recently as September, 1989, he had been in
Atlantic City for less than 24 hours before departing
for Toronto and then to Jamaica.
Shower Posse networks are involved in the
sale of cocaine and marijuana in the New Jersey
cities of Newark, East Orange, Irvington, Camden,
Atlantic City and Vineland. Recent arrest statistics
indicate that the number of Shower Posse members
operating within the state is growing. In November,
1988, 53 Shower Posse members were arrested in New Jersey for their involvement in drug distribution. Within the last year, the number of members
identified has increased to 75. By November, 1989,
arrests in Trenton and Bridgeton revealed Shower
Posse activity in those areas as well.
