An SUV full of dead Hillside Posse hitmen
The Hillside Posse is a Jamaican-American gang based in the Brooklyn and Queens boroughs of New York City. The gang was led by Real Badman, a respected Jamaican gangster, and it was involved with the sale of high quantities of marijuana and small arms on Long Island. During the 2000s, the Hillside Posse went to war with the Russian Mafia in Brooklyn, as they fought over territory and conflicting business operations. The gang also had to deal with gang warfare against The Lost MC and with the theft of its drugs by Luis Fernando Lopez, Armando Torres, and Henrique Bardas several times in 2008. The Hillside Posse was strong in the Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn and in Hollis, Queens, and it had a presence in areas such as Bushwick, Bedford-Stuyvesant, and Jamaica, Queens as well.
