Show Notes

He wasn’t just another Kingston gunman. Deedo was the PNP’s shadow enforcer—controlling cocaine corridors, directing political hits, and orchestrating war against Jim Brown’s Tivoli Gardens. For a decade, he operated above the law—until his violent death shattered Jungle’s control and plunged South Kingston into chaos.
Was Deedo a protector, a killer—or both?
And did the state help build the monster it later buried?
This isn’t just a story of a gangster. It’s a buried chapter in Jamaica’s political warfare.
Would you have feared him—or followed him?
