“Four Dead in Six Weeks: Gang Activity in Blueberry Turns Structured”
By Alicia Mora | July 2025

 

BLUEBERRY, RC — Authorities have linked a string of recent homicides to escalating gang presence in Blueberry, where investigators believe a group operating in the vicinity has established control over a growing narcotics trade.

 

Four men have been killed since late June, two of them known residents of the Fresa Trailer Park with suspected ties to the group. Law enforcement has not issued official statements, but internal sources confirm the deaths are considered connected and consistent with territorial or disciplinary action. All remain under investigation. In the weeks following the killings, deputies have recorded a steady uptick in late-night drug activity, particularly concentrated around the Blueberry Projects, rural access roads through farmland, and isolated rest areas along Route 68. While individual seizures have been small, they show a diverse and high-quality supply: methamphetamine, marijuana and derivates, uncut cocaine, and pharmaceutical-grade opioids. Each recovery points to uniform packaging methods and suggests centralized handling and logistics.

“It's not street-level chaos,” one official noted. “It’s quiet, structured.”

Local traffic stops have led to multiple arrests involving individuals with Northern San Andreas priors. Vehicles are often unregistered or modified. Phones are wiped.

 

Crazy Flakes Customs, a garage on the northern edge of town, had remained closed for several years before quietly reopening in early July. County records confirm the business is now registered under Edgar Benitez, known locally as Viriz, who was recently released on parole from Bone County State Prison. Benitez has prior convictions for firearms and narcotics possession but has fulfilled all terms of release under supervision.

Despite the increasing visibility, many locals remain cautious about openly discussing the gang’s influence. Fear of retaliation, combined with a lack of trust in law enforcement, has left much of the community silent or resigned. Several residents describe “La Yarda”, the projects in central Blueberry, as a place where loyalty and reputation carry more weight than official authority.

 

The Sheriff’s Department has reportedly increased patrols in and around Blueberry, yet officers face challenges navigating a landscape marked by deep-rooted ties and unspoken codes. Previous efforts to intervene have been met with limited cooperation, and the current rise in violence and narcotics distribution complicates an already fragile balance. Experts on gang activity warn that Blueberry’s location makes it a strategic point for criminal networks seeking low-profile distribution channels between major urban centers.

 

Whether this new chapter will lead to more stability through organized control or spiral into wider conflict remains uncertain. For now, Blueberry stands at a crossroads, caught between fading rural calm and an emerging street reality defined by coded markings, whispered warnings, and the cold calculus of survival.

“Gunfire in Blueberry: One Dead Following Late-Night Shooting at Apartment Complex”
By Alicia Mora | July 2025

 

BLUEBERRY, RC — A man was found dead on the rooftop of a low-income apartment complex in Blueberry shortly after 1:14 AM, following a violent shootout in the complex’s central yard that startled residents and left behind a scene of spent shells, shattered windows, and unanswered questions.

 

The deceased has been identified by authorities as Anthony Hernandez, a 28-year-old male with a listed residence in Los Santos. Hernandez was pronounced dead at the scene by county paramedics after suffering multiple gunshot wounds. According to investigators, his body was recovered on the rooftop of one of the southern units — an area suggesting he may have attempted to flee or pursue his assailant before being fatally shot at close range.

 

Witnesses described a chaotic scene as shots rang out across the complex. Local accounts gathered at the scene suggest Hernandez may have initiated the confrontation, though this remains unconfirmed. His vehicle, a black luxury coupe registered to a Los Santos address, was located nearby and has since been impounded as part of the ongoing investigation.

 

No suspects have been arrested as of this writing, and detectives with the Red County Sheriff's Department are still working to determine a motive. According to a department spokesperson, cooperation from residents has been limited, with several witnesses refusing to provide formal statements.

 

Hernandez maintained an active presence on social media, where he frequently posted images displaying jewelry, high-end vehicles, and large amounts of cash. Authorities have not officially commented on whether robbery, retaliation, or gang involvement is suspected, but say all possibilities remain on the table.

 

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Red County Sheriff’s tip line. No further details have been released.

“Second Homicide in a Week Shakes Quiet Blueberry Community”
By Alicia Mora | July 2025

 

BLUEBERRY, RC — A second fatal shooting in less than a week has stirred concern across Blueberry, a town long known more for its quiet fields than its crime reports.

 

At approximately 22:10 last night, sheriff’s deputies responded to reports of gunfire at the Red County Truck Terminal, just off Route 1, across from the Fresa Trailer Park. When they arrived, they found a man slumped over the wheel of a Stratum wagon, riddled with bullet holes on the driver’s side door and rear panel.

 

The victim was identified early this morning as Gilbert Malloy, 39, of no fixed residence. Paramedics declared him dead at the scene. Authorities believe Malloy was attempting to leave the terminal’s rear lot when he was gunned down, though they have not released further details.

 

Witnesses described what may have been a vehicle fleeing the scene. The truck terminal was already closed for the evening, and no staff were reported to be on site at the time of the incident. According to law enforcement sources, Malloy had minor prior offenses, including possession and trespassing charges, but was not known to be affiliated with any major groups. Still, investigators have not ruled out the possibility of retaliation or gang ties.

 

This marks the second homicide in Blueberry in under a week. Just days ago, Anthony Hernandez was found dead on the rooftops of a nearby apartment block after a shootout that left bullet casings scattered across the complex’s yard.

 

“We’re not used to this kind of violence,” said a longtime resident who requested anonymity. “First the apartments, now the truck stop? People are locking their doors early now.”

 

Locals describe a shift in the town’s atmosphere. Blueberry, once a sleepy stop between Los Santos and San Fierro, appears to be waking up to a darker reality.
