Gangs

Bloods and Crips gangs were introduced to Belize by US deportees in the 1980s, and especially adopted by locals upon the 1988 release of Colors.^[1] A boom in violent and organised crime followed, not yet mitigated by the 2020s.^{[n 2]} As of 2019, there were at least three dozen gangs in Belize City, each loosely affiliated to Bloods or Crips, totalling some 900 to 1,400 members.^{[n 3]}

George Street are a Bloods-affiliated street gang in Southside Belize City, allegedly formed in the late 1980s by US deportee Heathcliff Reyes to oppose the concurrently formed Majestic Alley (Crips).^{[n 9]} They (with Majestic Alley) are thought to be the country's earliest gangs.^[48] They initially claimed all the Southside as their base of operations.^[49] Their alleged 1992 murder of Derek Itza Brown (Majestic Alley leader) is thought to have kicked off gang warfare in Belize.^[50]

The 2000s saw Heathcliff shot dead by police,^[48] the rise to prominence of the Tillett family in the gang,^[48] and a bitter rivalry with the neighbouring Taylor's Alley (Bloods) which bled into the 2010s.^[48] The late 2000s is thought to have been a boon to the gang, allegedly culminating in successful hits against leaders of rival gangs (Southside, Brick City, Ghost Town) in 2010.^[51] In 2011, they joined a government-mediated gang truce, which is thought to have come undone partially due to the 2012 killing of their then-leader, Sheldon Pinky Tillett, allegedly by Taylor's Alley.^[52]

In late 2018, their (with PIV's, Back a Land's, Southside's) gang territory was estimated as amongst the largest (of 36) in the country.^[53] Their numbers were estimated at 40 to 50,^[54] with a mean age of 32 (the only gang whose members' average age was in the 30s, rather than 20s or teens).^[55] In 2019, they were deemed "the most powerful [of 24 gangs]" given their membership ("up to 150 gang members") and organisation ("well developed internal informal hierarchies").^[56]

In 2021, they (with PIV, Southside, Gaza New Generation) were considered amongst the largest gangs (of "over 40") in the country.^[57]

Majestic Alley are a Crips-affiliated street gang in Northside Belize City, allegedly formed in the late 1980s by US deportee Fredrick Diggy Dap Lynch to oppose the concurrently formed George Street (Bloods).^{[n 9]} They (with George Street) are thought to be the country's earliest gangs.^[48] They initially claimed all the Northside as their base of operations.^[49] Their alleged 1992 murder of Lyndon Tunan Arnold (George Street leader) is thought to have kicked off gang warfare in Belize.^[50]

Lynch is thought to have fled the country upon witnessing the 2007 murder of a close associate (Crips leader George Junie Balls McKenzie).^[48]

In late 2018, their gang territory was estimated as being on the smaller side (a few blocks).^[58] Their numbers were estimated at 25 to 50,^[54] with a mean age of 29.^[54]

Other entities

Guatemalan and Mexican groups use Belize to receive, store, and move illicit drugs and precursor chemicals.^[59] Furthermore, Belizean gangs seemingly provide logistical help in return for illicit drugs and arms.^[60]
