Their father Lester Coke, who was also known as "Jim Brown," was the founder of a violent drug gang called the Shower Posse.

Even though the Shower Posse, so named because they showered their victims with bullets, disbanded, Mr. Bogel remained an active drug dealer, officials said.

The Shower Posse is a Jamaican gang which is involved with drug and arms smuggling.

The investigation ended with corroborated evidence of the existence of a Jamaican-controlled narcotics cartel, known as the Shower Posse, Mr. Higgins said.

His drugs gang, the Shower Posse, quickly established bases in more than 20 US cities, Canada and the United Kingdom.

Between 1980 and 1985, the Shower Posse and other Jamaican gangs were linked to at least 1,500 murders along America's east coast.

The Shower Posse and other gangs' reach extended well into mainstream Kingston.

As Jamaica's elite soured on the underworld in the 1980s, the Shower Posse allegedly found a more stable source of cash - drugs and guns.

Criminal investigators estimate that the Shower Posse is responsible for thousands of deaths since the 1990s as they battled to secure the flow of drugs and guns.

One exception is the Rats and the Tats, who have strong ties to the Shower Posse, an international criminal organization.
