Devil Ganga Posted Monday at 10:06 PM Share Posted Monday at 10:06 PM (edited) SANTANA BLOCK CARSON CRIPS Loyalty Over Everything The Santana Blocc Carson Crips (SBCC), formerly known as the Santana Boys, are a predominantly African-American street gang rooted on the east side of Carson within South Los Santos. The set traces its origins back to the late 1970s, when two small neighborhood crews. the Mid-Town Locs and the Oak Park Boys, operated separately along the Brogue Avenue corridor and surrounding residential blocks. Both groups faced similar struggles growing up in the area, heavy policing, poverty, and constant tension with nearby Blood and Piru-aligned neighborhoods. The idea to unite the two crews came from a respected street figure named Kim “Bullet” Tate, who envisioned bringing both groups together under a single identity to strengthen their numbers and solidify their hold over the neighborhood. Before Tate could fully complete his plan, he was killed in 1978 during a shooting involving rivals from a nearby Piru neighborhood. His death nearly halted the unification effort, but one of his close associates, Kenneth “Turtle” Johnson, stepped forward to carry out Tate’s vision. A former Oak Park Boys member, Johnson successfully merged both crews, officially forming what became known as the Santana Blocc Carson Crips. Under his leadership, the newly unified set quickly established a reputation for their strong territorial control. During the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s, SBCC became heavily involved in ongoing conflicts with several Piru-aligned neighborhoods across South Los Santos. Frequent clashes occurred along major streets surrounding their territory, especially in areas where boundaries overlapped with rival hoods. As their numbers grew, the Santanas developed a reputation as a serious threat to any gang opposing them, regardless of affiliation. Their willingness to defend their turf aggressively made them one of the more feared Crip-aligned sets in the Carson area during that era. In 1989, the set suffered a major loss when Kenneth “Turtle” Johnson was ambushed and killed while traveling outside of his neighborhood. His death remains surrounded by rumors and street speculation, marking a turning point in the gang’s history and leading to a shift in leadership among younger generations. The Santana Blocc Carson Crips territory centers around Brogue Avenue and its surrounding residential streets within the Carson/Davis border region of South Los Santos. Their influence extends through nearby apartment complexes, side streets, and older housing blocks that have served as gathering points for members. Due to tight neighborhood layouts and overlapping borders, their territory frequently collides with rival gang areas, contributing to long-standing tensions. Over the years, SBCC has maintained alliances with several Crip-aligned sets across South Los Santos, primarily due to shared enemies and historical ties, some of these notable hoods are Poccet Hood Carson Crips, Anzac Grape Carson Crips, Kelly Park Carson Crips, Neighborhood Carson Crips, Palmer Blocc Carson Crips, Palm & Oaks Gangster Crips, and many others.. However, they remain in active conflict with multiple Piru and Blood-aligned neighborhoods such as Lueders Park Piru, Elm Street Piru, Mob Piru, Cross Atlantic Piru, Tree Top Piru, Holly Hood Piru, as well as certain rival Crip sets such as South Side Carson Crips, Front Hood Carson Crips, Carver Park Carson Crips, Park Village Carson Crips, Duccy Hood Carson Crips. These rivalries stem from decades-old territorial disputes, and generational conflicts. Tensions with nearby Sureño-affiliated groups have also persisted, largely due to overlapping territories and neighborhood disputes. Modern Era In recent years, both the older and younger generations of the Santana Blocc Carson Crips have been forced to adapt to a rapidly changing environment throughout Carson and the surrounding Davis area. What was once a tight, african-american, working-class neighborhood filled with longtime residents has gradually shifted due to redevelopment, rising housing costs, and increased city investment aimed at “cleaning up” South Los Santos. As new housing projects, renovated apartments, and commercial businesses have moved into the area, many families on Brogue Avenue have been pushed out, relocating further south or into nearby neighborhoods. This shift has had a major impact on the younger members of SBCC. With longtime residents displaced and familiar hangout spots disappearing, many younger Santanas now find themselves operating across a wider area than previous generations. Some have been pushed toward neighboring streets where rival gangs are active, increasing tension and making everyday movement through the city more dangerous than before. For those still involved in the lifestyle, daily life carries constant pressure. Members face not only ongoing threats from rivals but also heavy surveillance from local law enforcement. Frequent patrols, cameras, and targeted enforcement efforts have made traditional street activity much more difficult than in past decades. Younger members grow up aware that incarceration or violence is an ever-present risk, shaping how they move, socialize, and represent their neighborhood. Despite these challenges, SBCC continues to maintain a strong identity within its turf. For many members, the set represents more than street affiliation, older members often emphasize loyalty to the neighborhood’s legacy, while younger members express that same identity through modern outlets such as music, social media, and street fashion. At the same time, these new forms of visibility have introduced new dangers. Online call-outs, disrespect, and social media conflicts often escalate quickly into real-world retaliation, keeping rivalries active even as physical territories shrink. The newer generation of Santana Blocc members now lives in a difficult balance caught between a neighborhood that is steadily changing around them and a long-standing legacy of gang loyalty. Though Carson continues to evolve, the presence of Santana Blocc remains deeply rooted in its streets. While their physical influence may shift over time, their cultural impact, neighborhood ties, and reputation continue to adapt and survive within the ever-changing landscape of South Los Santos.
