Show Notes

William Augustus Moore was born in the concrete towers of Arnett Gardens — one of Kingston's most volatile garrison communities — and died on the corner he built into a cultural landmark that attracted tourists, Grammy-winning artists, and Cabinet Ministers. He was forty years old. Three men stepped out of a car on April 18, 2001, and no one was ever charged.

This is the full, uncut story of Willie Haggart — the Black Roses Crew don, the man behind the Willie Bounce, the self-styled Chief of Staff who mediated disputes, built legal businesses, maintained political connections to the highest levels of the Jamaican government, and was executed in broad daylight while three sitting Cabinet Ministers later stood at his funeral and refused to fully explain why.
