  1. Eastside Hustler Crip (EHC) is a predominantly african-american street gang with it's roots going back as far as the 1980s. The gang has a long and rich history that revolves around gang violence and wrong doings, with the majority of members following a common theme of the desire for power, respect, women, money and protection. Gangs that fall under the Hustler Crips are loosely connected and are not necessary allies of each other. The term "street gang" is commonly used interchangeably with "youth gang", referring to neighborhood or street-based youth groups that meet "gang" criteria. Currently the gang has an active membership consisting of around twenty to thirty members. The gang operates around Jefferson, a district slightly to the northeast of the city center of Los Santos, San Andreas. North of Jefferson is Las Colinas, while to the south are Idlewood and Ganton. West of Jefferson is Glen Park, while to the east is East Los Santos. It's turf starts from Crenshaw Boulevard and stretches all the way over to Washington. The area has prominent gang activity and is a low-income district with a high crime rate. The gang is divided into three separate cliques: Crenshaw Hustler Crips (30s), Slauson Hustler Crips/Cardinal Hustler Crips (60s) and Washington Hustler Crips/Rowdy Hustler Crips (80s). In previous years there has been a noticeable downfall in the gang's membership, with the 60s Cardinal Hustler Crip sub-set being considered defunct for a period of time. Lately however the sub-clique and the overall function has seen an up-tick in new members joining, especially youth that seem to be driven by a promise of power and/or protection from other gangs. The Hustler Crips operate independently, which means each Hustler Crip set carry their own allies and Rivals. Eastside Hustler Crip doesn't fall under trays or deuce, they operate independently due to previous beef with both Gangster & Neighborhood Crip sets & also the majority of Mafia Crip sets as well. The Eastside Hustler Crip are rivals of 99 Mafia Crip, Florencia 13, Lennox 13, South Side 13, Bounty Hunter Bloods, Palm Tree Piru, 54 Van Ness Gangster Brim, 83 Gangster Crips, Kelly Park Hustler Crips, with Florence 13 being the longest running rivalry being directly responsible for the increased gang-related crimes around Jefferson. Police has an increased presence around Jefferson, making an effort to combat gang-related murders, shootings, and general violence related to gang activity.

  2. E/S MOB PIRU The E/S Mob Piru, also known as 662 Gang, are a large African-American street gang whose turf stretches from Grove Street, Ganton, all the way up to the plaza and the local complex (in which the MOB heavily dominated). MOB was a smaller Piru hood until the rise of Death Row Records in the 1990s, they are one of the most reputable gangs that are currently rivals with both Cross Atlantic Piru and Lueders Park Piru who for a long time they were allied with. 1700 Block Being considered in the wider gang as the mother of all cliques, the 1700 clique are the oldest of the still active sub-sets. The 1700 was founded somewhere in the 90s, it is widely known to be one of the wealthiest sub-sets of the gang as they dip heavily into the sale of drugs and even weapons. One of the most notable deaths within the 1700 clique was that of Everson “Lil No Good#3” Patterson. Who was the current generation’s leading figure who had been killed in a shootout by the Los Santos Police Department following a shooting carried out by the MOB after an attempt to flee. 1800 Block The 1800 Block are an OG clique located in the heart of Ganton. As it stands nowadays, most of the clique's leading figures in which its members used to look up to remain hidden due to their involvement in the deaths of two Lueders Park Piru affiliates earlier in January. 2000 Block This clique is one of the most notorious and tight-knit groups of gangbangers hailing from the MOB gang, stretching across the Ganton area all the way to its exit. Members of the 2000 Block carry in them a sense of unforeseen pride for their set & are often seen by locals and gang members alike to be complete psychopaths. As such, the 2000 has a history of being the producers of several different wars. Strike-Ups & Wall-Banging Gang members are known to tag their hoods onto walls in their respective turf. Most of the time a tag is being sprayed it is just the gang's geographical location and their initials. Gang-members will occasionally go "tag-banging" in enemy turf and most gang-members are armed while doing so, as it is dangerous to tag up another hood's walls. Wall-banging activities are often recorded for social media, in order to troll the opposition for not being outside. Members will often whack-out enemy gangs or add a "K" behind the abbreviation of an enemy hood or street to signify they are "that hood" killers. Insane Mob Gang v Lueders Park Piru The E/S Mob Piru and the Lueders Park Piru used to be very tight-knitted due to the Death Row Records hiring many LPP members as security, however; it led into them eventually becoming rivals during the 90s after a Lueders Park Piru member was shot and killed in 2009 by a Mob Piru affiliate, which led into a series of shootings from both sides and lasted up until 2013. DeAngelo Palmer also known as "Ruthless" was a known and respected LPP member, he was an OG and bodyguard for the Death Row Records, Palmer was killed by another known MOB affiliate over something personal. Temontez Hill also known as "Chin" was an LPP member who was shot and killed in the heart of Lueders Park. He was killed by an MOB affiliate after an attempted robbery gone wrong. Jamal Williams also known as "Aktive" was a well-known MOB member who was shot and killed by a drive-by shooting in retaliation of the fallen LPP affiliates. The death of Aktive made MOB and LPP go into a full-blown war ever since.

  4. El Corona has always been a stronghold for illicit activity, even during the First World War the area was known for not only its roughness but had a reputation for its high poverty rate although residents knew nothing of what was becoming of the neighborhood before the early 1920s. Residents of El Corona became more and more engrossed in ways that friends would come together and defend the area from gangs that were popping up at the time, gangs that included Big Hazard and White Fence but despite these events, the famous Zoot Suit Riots of the 1940s are what shone light on the 38th Street Gang in a way that would change the course of the gangs actions and reputation within Los Santos forever. The Sleepy Lagoon Murder consisted of multiple teenage 38th Street gang members brutally murdering a young boy by the name of Jose Diaz at a water reservoir which was often visited by gang members. 600 Mexican teenagers all over Los Santos were hauled up by LSPD for the heinous crime although eventually 22 members of the 38th Street Gang including some female affiliates were tried and the event would lead to the single largest mass trial on record in San Andreas. From 1999 up until around mid 2019, the 38th Street Gangs impact on the southern side of the city was devastating to not only the local residents but to law enforcement alike as new cliques flagging the neighborhood started popping up within the immediate area. The tiny locotes (TLS) were among the first clickas to originate out of the gang all the way back in the 1920s, now in current times there are over 12 different clickas across three different states all flagging for the same cause. In Los Santos, the 38th Street gang holds 6 sets; Tiny Locotes (TLS), Gardenas Locos (GLS), Krazy Katz (KZK), Tiny Winos (TWS), Pee Wee Gangsters (PWGS) & Tiny Diablas (TDS), each set with their own reputations and input on the lives they live. In 2019 a rival gang; Bounty Hunter Bloods (BHB) took their chances and sparked a war which would end up making national news with a body count of over 30 people over the course of a year, Oscar "Blueboy" Huerta along with other original new generation 38th Streeters at the time including Antonio "Shaggy" Merino, Andres "Casper" Artego, Joshua "Bugs" Pena, Owen "Stomper" Nereyo and the famous Dennis "Creeper" Grajeda engaged deep in the war between the two gangs, often plotting on ways to score points and cleanse the 38th Street flats of blacks. After a long and bloody war between two gangs that lasted almost two years, the 38th Streeters eventually managed to push back and take the flats with force which resulted in a mass shootout within the 38th Street car lot. After taking back control of the flats, another spark ignited only this time it was directed from the Eastside Hustler Crips (EHC). During this time of conflict, the 38th Street Gang were also up against a gang injunction order which made them prone to constant stop and searches and the avoidance of their friends due to the court order; making attacks on rival gangs 10 times as hard.

  5. In the early 2000s street gangs continue to grow, especially in the Southern section of Los Santos members of the Pueblo Bishop Bloods and their many rivals that surround them are still at large when it comes to rivalries. Most recently the (PBB) has been at large with Barrio 38th Street and Bloodstone Villains, due to them being so close to each other and being sworn enemies since the beginning of the formation of the gang. All sides have lost many members, a few notable members from Pueblo Del Rio projects that fell were Tiny Kreep, Infant 24, Peanut , and Baby Kountry. Many of these deaths were caused by gun violence and were to be from VSOP coalition (Villains, Stones, Outlaws, Pirus ~ Eastside blood/piru alliance) and the 38th Street Gang. Ever since these lives were taken the younger generation of Pueblo Bishop Blood members has become more hating towards the opposite gangs. East Los Santos area is a hotspot for gang activity which also means there are many rivalries between the majority of gangs in the area, Pueblo Bishop Bloods have always had run-ins hence them being sworn enemies to the VSOP alliance, 38th Street Gang, East Coast Crips, 4-Pacc Gangster Crips, and Mad Swan Family Bloods. Pueblo Bishop Bloods (PBB) are enemies of the Rollin O’s a/k/a all Neighborhood Crips, in particular, the 59 East Coast Neighborhood crips. They're also hostile towards majority gangs under the Mexican Mafia/Sureños banner, and all crips under the (2x and 3x) card. However, the E/S Pueblo Bishop Bloods are friendly towards the south side sureño gang, Florencia 13. As the Pueblo Bishop Bloods share their gang territory with Florencia 13's massive influence throughout the east side of South Central Los Santos. Pueblo Del Rio is a neighborhood of run-down apartment buildings that take up less than a square mile between 54th Street, Burns Avenue and Felton Avenue has long struggled to shake its violent image. Multiple warring gangs occupy the area two being the Pueblo Bishop Bloods a mostly black gang, and 38th Street, a mostly Latino gang. Police say area gang members are responsible for hundreds of shootings and robberies over the years. Though residents agree that the violence is mostly gang-related, some say the hostility has reinforced an undercurrent of racial tension among children and families. But the killing of 3-year-old Isabella Ayala on a sunny Sunday afternoon as she arrived home from McDonald’s has heightened tension and fear among residents. Police said the girl’s father, 24-year-old Samuel Ayala, was the target but was not a gang member. He was shot multiple times in the upper body and remains in critical condition at County General Medical Center. Police said the two suspects, both African American, might have mistaken Ayala for an 38th Street member. Pueblo Del Rio used to be called “Rio Grande Projects” for its symbolism and color, like the trees, project coloring, and murals that thrived among a vibrant-cultural style postwar apartment buildings. The Los Santos City Council changed the name 20 years ago after more apartment structures were being rebuilt and revamped into a "pueblo", spanish word for village. They renamed it Pueblo Del Rio, hoping to reflect the affluent and peaceful — mostly black — East Los Santos neighborhood nearby. Heading back down, Walker said Pueblo Del Rio began to change in the late 1960s and ‘70s. The white flight began after the 1965 Watts riots. Drug dealers set up shop in an alley between apartment buildings where they sold PCP. They called it “Sherm Alley.” Soon the drug trade changed to crack cocaine, he said, and everything went downhill. The Pueblo Bishop Blood gang ruled the narcotics scene in the area. High-rent apartment buildings turned into subsidized, low-income housing. Latino families, mostly immigrants, moved in. “The regular working ones were cool,” he said. “But then the 38th Street [gang] moved in and basically wanted to take over the drug trade.” Walker drove along 54th Street, past Theater Elementary School. Children stared him down. No one waved. Walker said sometimes the glares remind him of a scene out of the movie “Training Day,” which was filmed in Baldwin Village, an African American neighborhood hosting the Black P. Stone gang. A television news crew stood near a memorial of pink carnations, Jesus candles, and rag dolls on the grass — the spot where Isabella was killed. The pink and yellow bedroom Isabella shared with her 6-year-old sister, Claudia, overlooks the memorial. Claudia was in the car with her father and sister when the shooting occurred. On a recent morning, the family looked at old photos of Isabella spread across a coffee table. Although Isabella's family has received an outpouring of support and prayers from black and Latino families in the neighborhood, some residents say the gang war has fueled racism in this neighborhood, where both races are struggling to understand each other. They say children sometimes repeat racial slurs they hear from gang members or on the street. Sofia Garcia, 15, also lives in the neighborhood. She said some racial taunts have made her cry. “There’s a lot of racism,” she said. “African Americans don’t like Hispanic people.” “Like the rest of L.S., it’s changing with more Latinos,” said Nasir Ali, a black community activist who prayed with Isabella's family this week. “The neighborhood has racial tension. It’s increasing. Each ethnic group doesn’t understand each other’s culture.” The gang is usually identified by its known color that being red and notable insignia they are also to be seen wearing the color black because of the gang's roots. The Pueblo Bishop Blood (PBB) teams are Philadelphia Phillies, Los Angeles Angels, and the Pittsburgh Pirates. The reasoning behind this is that the logos signify where they are from and can also abbreviate certain letters their gang or clique represents. For instance, the Phillies & Pirates logo “P” meaning Pittsburgh or Philadelphia, for this certain set of bloods this “P” stands for Pueblo which represents the Pueblo Del Rio Bishop Bloods (PBB). Alongside wearing the other Pittsburgh/Philadelphia gear which shows their insignia, the logo representing the baseball team. They could be seen wearing a hat with an Angels on it representing the avenues that intersect and cross their neighborhood, being Burns Avenue & Felton Avenue. A few other teams they also wear are Kansas City Royals, and the Kansas City Chiefs because of the "KC" meaning "Kill Crabs"

  6. The Mid City Stoners 13 The first ever Mid City Stoners was founded from various small groups of Mexicans coming together from one neighborhood, who had a vested interest in defending themselves, their families and their communities against rampant racism against Mexicans and other Latin Americans. Sometime in the 1970s, they got their name from as an omage to the Rolling Stones rock band as well their love for marijuana, a phenomenon that was seen all across the city. The 13 in their name initially stood for the M in marijuana. Eventually, they fell under the Sureno banner, just like all the other gangs around them. Over the years, various movements arise around them, such as neighbouring Mexican Varrios going to war and shedding blood with one and other over the pettiest of things, with innocent people paying the price of someone else trying to play gangster, and the ever evolving dope game, making the poorest of families turn into the richest before their bloody downfall. This neighbourhood, just like any other during that time fell into the generational trap, of which would perhaps see no end, their dojo was Queen Anne Park located on West Boulevard in Mid City. The Mid City Stoners spread and found their place in various other neighbourhoods, specifically in Watts, Long Beach & Western Heights. That's where the heavy racial tension started to affect them, feuds with the Insane Crips, Rollin 20s Crips, Black P Stone's, and the Bounty Hunter Bloods developed a very anti-black identity. The pain and suffering that these feuds brought led to many youngsters getting involved, wanting to get back for their varrio, the pride in being brown and down was official, the higher the socks... the downer the motherfucking fool, homie... They also found themselves feuding other Mexican neighborhoods, such as the Mara Salvatrucha 13s, Barrio Evil 13, Varrio 38st. Territorial battles began, and with enemies on all sides and little breathing room, the feuds were nothing but bloody. Law Enforcement & Gang Enhancements The Mid City Stoners made enough noise, especially in their bloody conflict with BPS, that it was obvious that law enforcement would crack down on them. With various notable members getting arrested, they got down with the Big House, and slapped the '13' at the end of their name. Being Sureño, down with the program and vicious led to several indictment throughout the decades that passed. Hundreds of members arrested, deported, or killed in the streets by law enforcement or their enemies, led to the loss of great territories and potential gains. Youngsters started not seeing the Mid City Stoners as the biggest, and the baddest. They'd rather get down with the enemies than the Mid Cities, but what happened to MCS13 happened to all their neighbours too. The decline in activity was evident, the shortage in manpower and foot soldiers was clear, crime was on the low and more subtle crime was on the rise. Dope was being pushed and sold on the streets and the identity was never dropped, banging on the walls, punking your enemies every now and then carried on, it never saw a full stop kind of end. The Current Day Some of the cliques ended off being more active than others, some disappeared into nothing but history, perhaps killed off, or maybe hood hopped... But some things are for certain, various old notable figures of MCS13 were let loose, and they carried on their old stilo. A clique out by 33rd Street and Unity Boulevard, named: '33st Locos' - is seeing a notable increase in manpower and a new drive to bang their neighborhood. Baby blues and chucks Most convicts, most gangbangers, most soldiers say they find it difficult to relate to people who haven't lived the experiences which define their own life. The warrior life. While I understand the notion, I can't say I fully agree with it. I think it's a self-evident fact of subjective experience that applies to everyone, not just those of us who know what it means to take a life or live 25 years without ever really getting a good night's sleep. State pen is a whole other ball game. The racial politics are seriously hardcore and the caliber of criminal you're doing time with is something else entirely. Everything from harmless tweaker to hardcore murderer to pathetic sex offender can be found within those perimeter fences. MCS, a small time clique which originated in the 80s by a bunch of cats bumping Rolling Stones. Stoners, petty thugs and mayhaps even skaters trying to stand up for each other, and carve out a name for themselves. Imagine a defiant teenager hooked on half a gram of yeska, digging his initials into the classroom table with a pen. A pen that had lost it's ink a long time ago. Their origins foreshadowed what was to come in the near decades as what emanated from a group of friends, into a full fledged group of sophisticated liquidators and merchants that traded in opium-fueled clouds, amphetamine crystals and death. Such was the nature of the craddle of most Los Santos sureños. On the streets they all kicked the football, hung up their clothes and argued with the local crack fiend who was trying to drop a turd on their front-yard. One day you are shooting through the frame of your 1980 Chevrolet El Camino, next thing you know you have a belt wrapped around the surface of your elbow. A wicked brown smile, with teeth clad in bacteria and trench mouth, shooting up an eightball of black tar into your radial. In 1985 a jaycat by the name of Alfonso Chavarria marched into the level four yard. Charged with three homicides, two charges on firearms, and a gang of other felonies, Chavarria thought that he was untouchable. Alas, that was not the case. You see, until Chavarria walked the line nobody had ever heard of "Mid City Stoners", let alone of what they were capable of doing. Regardless, everybody thought that the fool was bananas, and perhaps he was, however that cannot discredit his efforts into pulling his clique into the Mexican Mafia's fold. Defacto facing life, Chavarria never backed down from a challenge. He beckoned it, and in turn bought more approbation and esteem to his gang. Over the course of the next seven years, the yard hosted twenty members of the Mid City Stoners. Where most of the elders were taught the basics of what it took to be a gangbanger, a chicano Gambino. The blonde kids from Vinewood Hills went to universities all over the state like Harvard, or perhaps Columbus, however we the ferocious attended the LS county, our college, our gladiator academy, and then proceeded to get schooled in SACF. San Andreas Correctional facility, that was our Harvard. While MCS did not hold as much sway as White Fence, Florencia, or perhaps the Avenues, the Pico Union thugs did establish themselves as a formidable force and even went out of their way to graduate one of their own as a carnal until he got stabbed over a drug debt. Since then their influence has faltered, a few figures remain however they're known as no good dopeheads, the likes being Frank "Grumpy" Barrio and Freddie "Mercury" Tramposo.

  7. NINE-DEUCE HOOVER CRIMINALS The Nine-Deuce Hoovers, also known as "92HCG" and the "Do-Lows," are a part of the Hoover Criminals gang network. Emerging from the Hoover neighborhood, the gang originated as a subset of the larger Crips gang in the late 1970s. Named after the streets where they operated, particularly around Hoover Street, the 92 Hoovers quickly gained notoriety for their involvement in various criminal activities, including drug trafficking, robbery, and violence. Based in Los Santos, they're mostly made up of African Americans but welcome members from different backgrounds too. They earned their "Do-Lows" nickname by being close with the 94 Hoover Criminals, who are called the "Low-Downs." The 92 Hoovers have been a prominent presence in the Los Santos gang landscape for decades, with a reputation for fierce loyalty to their neighborhood and a propensity for territorial disputes with rival gangs. Their distinctive blue attire and "92" tattoos serve as visible markers of their affiliation. Over the years, law enforcement efforts to curb the influence of the 92 Hoovers have resulted in numerous arrests and prosecutions of gang members. Additionally, community outreach programs and intervention efforts have been implemented to address the root causes of gang involvement and provide alternatives to at-risk youth. Despite these challenges, the 92 Hoovers continue to operate, adapting to changing dynamics within their community and the broader gang culture. Their story is emblematic of the complex social and economic issues facing urban neighborhoods, as well as the ongoing efforts to address gang violence and support positive alternatives for youth. THE WAR FOR IDLEWOOD The 92 Hoover Criminals faced a tough decision: they had to leave their long-held turf on the West Side and relocate to Idlewood. It wasn't an easy choice, but increasing pressure from rival gangs and heightened police presence left them with no other option. The move brought challenges they hadn't anticipated. Idlewood was unfamiliar territory, and the local gangs weren't quick to welcome outsiders. But the 92 Hoovers were determined to make their mark. Led by their OG, Treyvon Weasley, they quickly established themselves in their new neighborhood. They reached out to local businesses, offering protection in exchange for support. Slowly but surely, they gained a foothold in Idlewood, earning respect through their street smarts and unwavering loyalty to their set. As they settled into their new surroundings, the 92 Hoovers faced adversity head-on. Rival gangs tested their resolve, but they stood their ground, proving they were a force to be reckoned with no matter where they laid their hats. Through solidarity and determination, the 92 Hoover Criminals transformed Idlewood into their new home. Their story became a testament to the resilience of urban communities and the unwavering spirit of survival that defines them.

  8. Irish Mob in the United States Irish American organized crime is a phenomenon that predates the Italian American organized criminal society, La Cosa Nostra. It is the oldest criminal group in the United States, with traceable history in almost every major city in the country. Evolving from exclusively Irish street gangs within the Northeast during the 19th century, the Irish mob flourished in the pre-Prohibition and Prohibition eras. Irish mobsters with great know-how and business savvy developed ingenious ways to smuggle alcohol from Ireland into the Northeast coast of the United States, thereby leading to an unprecedented period of wealth and growth. The majority of Irish street gangs and criminal organizations had fizzled out by the 1940s. Stark competition from the Italian gangs and crime families had put them out of business. Reduced to ragtag groups of enforcers, many gangs chose to side with their Italian counterparts, rather than oppose them. After this period of decline, the Irish gangs along the Northeast coast of the country faced an invigoration in the 1950s and 1960s. This invigoration saw the rise of the Winter Hill gang, The Westies and the Charlestown Mob. All of these criminal organizations became prominent figures in the criminal underworld of the American Northeast for decades. These criminal gangs entrenched themselves within the Irish communities of major American cities and maintained tight partnerships with the Five Families. At one point, owing to their higher levels of sophistication, police speculated that the gangs were connected to the Provisional IRA during The Troubles. This period would only last for 4 decades at most, with organized crime police task forces largely dismantling the groups before the turn of the 1990s. Irish American organized crime in Los Santos dates back to the Prohibition era in approximately 1925. Irish American alcohol smugglers from San Fierro sent men to Southern San Andreas in the late 1920s in order to sell bootlegged alcohol in impoverished rural and urban areas. Most of the alcohol was sold off to residents of Irish, Italian and Greek communities in Los Santos, but a considerable amount was dealt to whites and Latinos inhabiting poor agricultural lands. After the Great Depression of 1929, some Irish American gangsters broke off from the San Fierro mobs and formed their own criminal organizations in the Eastside district of Los Santos. These criminal organizations participated in turf wars with their Italian and Greek American counterparts over bootlegged alcohol distribution. By the end of the 1930s, several dozen of these Irish American gangsters remained in the poor areas of the city and established themselves long-term. A number of these gangsters formed groups that still exist in Los Santos today, although they do not nearly have the power and influence that they once did. While contemporary Irish American criminal organizations in the Northeast were being decimated by the police in the 1990s, things were just getting started for the Irish on the west coast. The East Beach Mob's origins began in the late 1990s and fully came to fruition by the early 2000s. They quickly became infamous for their narcotics trafficking in East Beach and their street wars with Balkan and Chinese criminal organizations. At one point, it was alleged by the Los Santos police and FBI that the East Beach Mob, and other Irish American gangsters, were in communication with the Provisional IRA in Ireland. Eventually, the East Beach Mob itself was largely obliterated by various law enforcement in San Andreas and federal agencies such as the FBI and ATF. After the numerous turf wars and extremely effective law enforcement action, Irish American organized crime in Los Santos became largely dormant. Most Irish American gangsters that reside and criminally operate within Los Santos nowadays have arrived only just recently, typically from the Northeast or Midwest regions of the country. They have tight connections to Irish mobs back in major cities such as Chicago, St. Louis, Detroit, New York City, Newark, Philadelphia and Boston. Many are not there on their free will, but have instead been sent by the upper echelons of their organizations to commit crime in the city on its behalf. Because they are loosely organized in Los Santos, and are not inclined to interact with one another, local police are mostly unaware of their presences and criminal acts. This has allowed them to turn a considerable amount of profit in an extremely lucrative part of the country without the authorities and general public knowing much about it. Van Ness Gang The Van Ness Gang, headed by Charles "Chuck" Killeen, is an exception to this rule. Charles Killeen was born in Las Venturas, San Andreas to multi-generational Irish American parents in 1978. He was initially raised in the quiet and unassuming lower middle class suburbs, but his family's financial decline forced them to move elsewhere. In 1984, aged 6, he moved to the South Johnson neighborhood of Las Venturas with his family. South Johnson is a low income neighborhood, originally named Little Dublin, that is the city's only historic Irish enclave. Growing up in a largely Irish area of the city, his father became a morphine and later heroin addict, following a workplace accident at a construction site. With his father addicted to various hard drugs, and his mother helpless in the situation, he turned to crime at a young age to provide for himself. Starting as young as 14, he worked for criminals who were subordinate to the remnants of the nefarious Cummingham Gang. He participated in numerous late-night stickups, armed robberies and eventually drug deals for the criminal organization. These activities progressed and went on for a couple of years. His father often stole the money made from his crimes in order to get his heroin from the streets, which was a direct source of tension in the family. In 1994, when Killeen was 16, his father died from a heroin overdose in the family's high rise housing project in South Johnson. Charles himself found his father's dead body in his residential floor's elevator lobby. The same year, he moved with his mother to Los Santos, San Andreas in order to be closer with her side of the family. While living in the East Beach district, he got involved with various Irish American criminal gangs and organizations, most of which actually operated out of the Eastside slums. Within time, he became a violent enforcer for numerous prominent Irish American gangsters shortly after he turned 19. Charles Killeen remained active with the Irish criminal gangs in Los Santos throughout the 2000s. He did so while living a seemingly normal and apparently unremarkable life in East Beach. But this was nothing more than a front put up in order to deceive civilians and the police. He was legitimately employed in the security sector and later, in the construction industry. His dual connections to his employers and the Irish mob, however, served as a gateway for racketeering and corruption activities. All of Charles's employers eventually became infiltrated by criminals who belonged to Irish criminal gangs. Almost all of these companies and businesses were eventually used to launder money on behalf of the gangs. Within the Irish gangs, he worked as a violent debt collector and later, a hitman for a number of upper echelon Irish gangsters. By 2006, he was one of the most trusted and depended upon hitmen by the Irish gangs of East Beach. Around the same year, he began getting flown out-of-state in order to assassinate and murder rival gangsters. The majority of these rival gangsters were in fact dropouts or police informants who fled San Andreas in order to go into hiding. Charles murdered a dozen underworld rivals over a period that spanned roughly 5 years. His travels took him to 16 different U.S. states that were concentrated in the Pacific, Midwest and Northeast coast. His victims were murdered inside the comfort of their own homes or were simply shot to death in the streets. Killeen was incarcerated in 2013 for the 2011 attempted murder of John Laverty, an Irish American mobster with loose ties to the Juniper Avenue Gang of East Los Santos. The attempted killing was botched. The attempted murder took the form of a gangland shooting, in which Laverty was repeatedly shot at while sat in his sedan outside of a sports bar in Jefferson. Laverty survived the shooting, and several months later, his bodyguard Michael Kelly become an informant for the Los Santos police. For his role in the shooting, Killeen was sentenced to 10 years in state prison. He was ineligible for parole until he served 5 years behind bars. While living out of numerous halfway houses across the slums of Eastside Los, it has been alleged that Killeen established very strong ties with Los Santos Crime Family rising star, Anthony Navarra. Charles would go on to serve as Navarra's personal enforcer throughout the latter's tenure as the Eastmoor Crew chief. In early 2018, it was rumored that relations between the two gangsters had boiled over. Killeen re-located to San Fierro, where his trail in the criminal underworld went cold for well over six months. He would later re-appear in Los Santos in that same summer. Thrust back in the underworld with strengthened relations with Tony Navarra, now serving as the Los Santos Crime Family figurehead, it is speculated that the renowned mob enforcer rallied freelance Irish American criminals under one umbrella. This was said to have happened after fellow Irish gangster Mark Coonan was suddenly incapacitated by a heart attack. Two years after Killeen's release, and months into Mark Coonan's subsequent health battle, Killeen consolidated power through trusted enforcers Daniel Burke and Mark Connolly. The trio met on the security circuit and kept in touch while Killeen was behind bars. It is speculated by police that Daniel Burke and Mark Connolly were members of the "Blueberry Five", along with Mickey Robinson, a group responsible for a number of armed robberies in the mid - late 1990s. Based out of the town of Blueberry, a medium sized farming community in Los Santos County, they were distinguished by their use of shotguns and flamboyant masks. They targeted gas stations, 7/11 stores and farmers markets along the county highway system. In 1999, the group abruptly went dormant and is presumed to have disbanded. Their armed robberies and six connected homicides, remain to this day, the subject of multiple cold case investigations by the state police. No longer in the bad graces of the Los Santos Crime Family, Killeen's new group settled in Van Ness, a small neighbourhood contained within the Commerce district. Van Ness was previously thought to be under Los Santos Crime Family control, however, the neighborhood's demographics were historically Irish. The landgrab was made possible by Killeen's close ties to then acting boss, Anthony Navarra. After having a dispute a year prior, the duo seemed to dispel all rumours of tension by being seen in Van Ness together in early April. James Genna, a Los Santos Crime Family captain, was a longtime friend of Killeen and an old associate of The Van Ness Gang, the name it's become to be known. Genna worked closely with the gang, selling stolen goods on the black market and arranging security jobs for Connolly's security firm. Connolly's security firm featured both Genna and Killeen on the roster of employees. As a result of Genna's success, Killeen secured himself an introduction to Anthony Navarra, which facilitated Genna's rise in the Eastside Crew. Genna became the subsequent crew chief, having been personally appointed by Navarra. He had been inducted into the crime family, only several months prior. In late April, tensions once again begun to boil over and Killeen was dispatched in a Mulholland car park. His body was found with two bullets to the back and one bullet to the head, with many in the underworld believing James "Jimmy" Genna to be the perpetrator. Chuck and Jimmy were allegedly in a dispute over a debt that had been collected by members of Jimmy's crew without authorisation, acting on his behalf. This action enraged the hot-headed Chuck and was considered egregious. Sit-downs were arranged, in vain, to avoid hostilities with the group's upper echelon that was repeatedly proven to not to be receptive. This mostly led by a defiant and confrontational Killeen. After a string of unsuccessful sit-downs, the order was given and Chuck was put to rest. Killeen's body was found by first responders, roughly 45 minutes after the shooting. A local inhabitant of a nearby apartment complex had phoned the 911 dispatch about multiple shots being fired, nearby to their residence. Police and paramedics were dispatched to the general area, and during their preliminary investigation, they found Killeen, unresponsive and face down in a pool of his own blood. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The police later discovered that the CCTV cameras in the car park had been physically obscured, if not, outright disabled. His homicide is currently the subject of a criminal investigation by the Los Santos police, and state prison authorities are also involved to a limited extent. Mickey Robinson, a Killeen loyalist and second-in-charge, ended all prospects of retaliation for Killeen's killing. This was done in order to preserve the group's business and criminal interests in Van Ness. Outmanned, outmatched and outgunned, retaliations were deemed to be reckless and rash. He begun to violently punish mere murmurs of revenge, and communications for retaliation against the Los Santos Crime Family were permanently put on hold. The Rise and Fall of the Killeen Mob In Los Santos, one Irish criminal group rose in the dust of the Westies, Winter Hill Gang and The Murray Syndicate. This criminal group was referred to as The Killeen Mob by the police and federal authorities. Founded by the late Charles Killeen and spearheaded by childhood partners in crime Nick Robinson and Luke Dillon, it soon became a staple in the Los Santos underworld. Contrasting deeply to the ways of yesteryear and pre-Prohibition, The Killeen Mob took a page out of the Westie's book and descended into a regime of profound ruthlessness and violence. Known for their abhorrent executions, violence and internal conflicts, they ruled over multiple Central and South Los Santos locations with a iron grip all the way up to late 2019. Mickey Robinson oversaw the Killeen Mob's operations from the shadows, allowing his son Nick Robinson to follow in his footsteps and call the shots. Luke Dillon was a key figure in the expansion of the Killeen Mob's extensive criminal network, with James "The Conman" Conlon, Frank Lanahan, and Ryan Campbell working alongside him to establish a large-scale heroin and weapon trafficking ring, supplying street gangs and organised crime groups across Los Santos. The Killeen Mob maintained a reputation for being a ruthless force that were never afraid to get their hands dirty. Despite being a much smaller scale entity compared to the vast amount of organised crime groups that dominated Los Santos at the time, the group survived through a number of conflicts with much larger organisations such as Motorcycle Clubs and Serbian Crime Syndicates. Assasinations, kidnappings, and extortion are a few of the many activities to name which specific members of the Mob were known for. The Killeen Mob operated for many months using businesses in the South Los Santos area to launder money and base their operations in, but inevitably crumbled due to deep internal struggles. There had been bad blood boiling between members for many years ever since the internal assasination of Mark Connolly, the former shotcaller, carried out by Luke Dillon and The Conman by order of Mickey Robinson. Mark's corpse was found late at night in a Downtown pub by a passerby, his head and chest riddled with bullets. This led to Mark's right hand man, Danny Burke, fleeing the state in fear for his life, and allowing Luke to claim their positions as a shotcaller. Since Mark's death, the Killeen Mob under Luke and Nick's leadership went through a number of additional internal strifes where most of the remaining pockets of the group found themselves either incarcerated, dead, or on the run. Decimated by police, and with no real hierarchy and intense infighting, the Irish had seen better days. As of now, Luke Dillon, Nick Robinson, The Conman, and Frank Lanahan are among the few remaining members of the Killeen Mob who have retreated from the South to operate in silence, and have opened the door to a sparce group of new faces to take charge of their operations in Los Santos.

  9. West Side Poserz 13 (PRZ) was founded by a group of African American teenagers in the early 80s, an interesting background considering that the gang now falls under the Sureno flag. The gang started off as a party/dancing crew that mostly indulged in break dance. Rumors have it that they came up with the name Poserz from the break dance pose, but also because of the black teenagers who were claiming it and were said to be dressed like cholos, a very common wave back in the day. Therefore the name Poserz was given to them. Back in their crew days, they didn't really have a specific turf. They were usually very flexible and were frequently hanging out in different areas, including Santa Maria, Verona Beach and all the way over to Idlewood as well. Although the crew was mostly composed of African American teenagers and outsiders that belonged to different sub cultures, they decided to form the clique for the main reason that none of the members wanted to join their local gangs. The clique was composed of break dancers, taggers and several other people that held a grudge against the Rolling 60s and the surrounding gangs. Poserz, mostly being driven by Cholo/punk mixed style became large in numbers and began attracting a lot of young Hispanic teenagers who later on got initiated into the gang. Once they settled down and became large in numbers, Poserz started disputing mainly active gangs back in the day such as Idlewood 13 and Criminals 13. The clique would later become a full fledged neighbourhood and represent the 13 in the mid 90s, despite being a multi cultural gang. The gang was operational around the surrounding areas of LSX airport. However due to the massive changes that the gentrification bought around LSX, the second and third generation was composed of Hispanics, but the gang still remains diverse and contains different cultures (African Americans, Caucasians, etc).

  11. THE ARBOR NELAZ The Centinela Park Family Gangster Bloods is the name of an alliance between the Centinela Park Bloods, and the Idlewood Family Gangster Bloods. The two gangs are compromised of African American members in their majority, and are located on the West Side of Los Santos, San Andreas. Both gang's generational structure is identical to that of most LS blood gangs, being compromised of OG's, OYG's, YG's, OTYG's and TYG's. In the year of 2024, the majority of active members belong to the OTYG and TYG generations of the gang. The alliance shared between CPF and IFGB is extremely close, to the point in which they are, in the modern day, practicaly considered the same gang. This means that the Idlewood Family Bloods have cliques which span from 64th Street all the way to 94th Street, making it one of the largest areas a single gang claims in LS. '. The Idlewood Families are also neutral with the Eight Tray Gangster Crips and all Hoovers in an movement known as 'Movin Groovin n Suwhoopin'. This is due to sharing common enemies in the Rollin O's Crip card - which are one of the largest/most powerful cards in the city. They are also allied with Avenue Piru, Neighborhood Piru and the Queens Street Bloods (although relations have been historically rocky). The Centinela Park Family Gangster Bloods primary adversaries are the Rollin 60's NeighborHood Crips and the Rollin 100's Crips. They have had a historical beef which has lasted from their inception. In addition to these, they have conflict with all NeighborHood-aligned gangs (Rollin O's, 2xs, ECC etc) especially the Raymond Avenue Crips, Legend Crip Gang and the Tongan Crip Gang. THE IDLEWOOD FAMILY GANG The history of the Centinela Park Families and the Idlewood Family Bloods is heavily intertwined. Contrary to popular belief, the Centinela Park Families were never actually known as the 'Centinela Park Pirus' which is a common misconception that likely spawns from the Ganton 'Campanella Park Piru'. In actual fact, the Centinela Park Families were formulated from the 79 Family Mob and 64 Brims in order to hold down Centinela Park which was under heavy threat from the Rollin 60's Crips. The 79 Family Mob was actually situated off of 67th Street, right next to Centinela Park, however due to the fact they were so heavily opposed to the Rollin 60's, they flipped the 6 upside down and became known as 79 Mob. At this time the Idlewood Families and surrounding gangs had not actually undertaken the 'blood' identity which came more towards the 80's, and so the 79 Mobs and 64 Brims became known as simply the Park Side Families due to the fact they were situated next to both Centinela and North Park. At some point during the war for Centinela Park, it is likely that they began to specifically claim 'Centinela Park Families' to show strong presence specifically in that park. At the time, there were Rollin 60's affiliates such as Stagolee setting up campaigns in order to try to take over Centinela Park from the Families - who were opposing each other even before the 'blood' identity was established. OG Cutes from the Rollin 60's Crips stated that they never had a seven days a week grip on Centinela Park, but did have short sporadic periods in which they laid claim to sections of it. It's important to note that even the original Idlewood Family Gang that had gave birth to the Centinela Park Families were travelling from their turf on 77th Street North into Centinela Park to meet Rollin 60's affiliates in the middle - there are a number of accounts of different conflicts taking place on the battlefield of Centinela Park. You can visualise that pretty much every gang in Idlewood that were not Crips were opposing the Rollin 60's and all West Side Crips in general - gangs were coming from all over Idlewood to oppose the Crips at this hot spot. THE BITY OF CHAMPIONS In contrast to it's nickname, Idlewood is one of the toughest parts of Los Santos to live in in the present day. The divide between the rich and poor is very obviously notable - from the middle class living in $500,000 3 bedroom estates down to the 20% of Idlewood's population who are living in poverty. Idlewood is one of the most gentrified parts of Los Santos - in 2010 the San Andreas Community Survey (SACS) found that at least 50% of the black population were living in parts of Idlewood that were currently being gentrified. The building of the SoFi Stadium has been attributed as being one of the primary causes of increasing land value - with residents protesting under the initiative that their housing costs were increasing at an alarming rate. The effect that gentrification has had on crime in Idlewood remains unclear at present, although its crime rate is still closely tied Los Santos and East Beach despite being a much smaller jurisdiction. Although Idlewood had began to shake its reputation that it built during the 1980s and 1990s as being incredibly violent, it's likely that in future years the crime rate will start to increase once again as more people are affected by poverty and turn to crime as a means of generating an income. In addition to socioeconomic challenges, Idlewood grapples with issues related to education and healthcare access. The public education system in the area faces significant hurdles, with schools struggling to provide adequate resources and support to students from low-income backgrounds. While community organizations and advocacy groups work tirelessly to address these inequities, the road to improvement is fraught with obstacles.

  12. BLACK MAFIA MOVEMENT "Affiliated Felons a/k/a The Black MOB" History The Black Mob started out as a small drug trafficking group of african-american teens. Before they were called “The Black Mob.” They went by the name “Affiliated Felons.” The organization started after the Black Panther movement was shut down. A lot of locals In the south central area of Los Santos came together and formed a coalition called the Affiliated Felons to protect their communities. Due to the crack-cocaine epidemic the group forgot their purpose and lost focus of the main reason the group was brought together. Majority of the original members split up and decided to do their own thing which was making profit anyway to help out the black community. Many residents thought they were taking the Robin Hood approach, but it only backfired. Over the years the organization turned into a trafficking organization however, most of the members are still predominantly African-American and they still operate in southern parts of Los Santos. Some of the crimes they commit range from some of the pettiest of theft to the most heinous, disrespectful, outlandish, random, morality-lacking crimes in Los Santos such as drug trafficking, street racing, weapons dealing, human trafficking, and money laundering. To this date, it isn't sure if hierarchy exists among this band of heathens. Recently, a series of raids in South Los Santos resulted in the confiscation of a multitude of illegal narcotics and firearms, which led to more information about the Affiliated Felons group being revealed, as well as insider informants. The Affiliated Felons under Rakeem Barksdale entered the hip-hop music business as South Los Entertainment in the early 2000s as a front organization to launder money from cocaine sales and to legitimize itself. South Los Entertainment served as a promoter for several high-profile hip-hop artists. In 2005, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) indicted members of the Affiliated Felons, ultimately securing convictions by targeting the Johnson brothers under the Continuing Criminal Enterprise Statute, and both were sentenced to 30 years imprisonment. Subsequent indictments eventually targeted over 150 members of the organization, and over 25,000 people were estimated to be members or associates. Prosecutors alleged the Affiliated Felons made over $270 million during their operations. None Of the charges was able to stick to Rakeem However Vashon was the unlucky one and was pointed out by others associated with the operation and was served 100 years In prison. Heartless and Affiliated Connection The Heartless Felons were already settled In Los Santos San Andreas Correctional facility before the DEA Indictment. However, they weren't big In numbers inside the prison. For decades Blacks and Northerners have always been out-numbered by the Whites and Southerners In San Anne. By the time members of the Affiliated Felons, the numbers of blacks shot up from 2005-2019. The Affiliated Felons created a coalition with the Heartless Felons Inside the prison growing stronger In numbers. The group caters to the majority of the black people who come Inside the prison and keep in In touch with them when they are on the outside. This allows both factions to keep growing on the inside and out. Los Santos Law enforcement agency, as well as the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, are struggling to combat the alarmingly fast-growing threat of the criminal organization in both the streets and in state prisons. Efforts to combat the criminal organization are primarily directed to the four state prison systems, as 85% of all Heartless Felons members are incarcerated in Ohio, San Andreas, Texas and Florida, and only 15% of them are active within society. The Transition The Affiliated Felons dropped the name and took on the name “The Black Mob.” They decided to take on this name because they were no longer street thugs hustling for quick cash. They started a drug and weapon pipeline across The five biggest states which was Los Santos, Chicago, Atlanta, New York and Philadelphia. The Black Mob decided to back multiple Black Lives Matter organizations using some of their businesses as a front to stay out of the Federal Government radar. Modern Day the Black Mob only supplies black street gangs across the five cities that they operate in. They stay away from gang warfare at all cost trying not to get linked back to any one group. Their business stretches from the illegal weapon trade to drug trafficking. They established a weapon hauling operation that started In Indiana and Kentucky due to the fact In those states it's easy to buy guns with no FFL or FOID. They will normally send a person who isn’t of essence with the streets to go and buy about 7-10 firearms then haul them to a specific state then they will receive payment. They also have multiple mobile hotspots also known as trap-houses where they print 3D weapons such as Polymer Ghost Glocks and attachments which the modern day gangs call “Switches.” Outside of the illegal businesses The Black Mob has multiple legit businesses which they use to place young African American youth In. They donate millions of dollars a year to the Black Lives Matter movement and they also have their own academic program which takes trouble from the youth of the streets. The program teaches the youth how to be businessmen it also pays for the trades that the youth want to attend free of cost.

  13. INSANE CRIP GANG The Insane Crips or the Baby Insanes is considered to be one of the largest African American gangs on the west side of Seville. The name Baby Insanes comes from a clique that's from the Insane Crips that is located on the dead end in Seville, they fall under the 3x card or the Trays. SEVILLE DIVIDED There long lived a time when the Rollin 20s and Insanes were allied in order to fend off Longos 13, something they shared together, however due to unfortunate cirumstances that alliance was cut short and lives were lost from both sides, this was especially terrible considering there were families in the area consisted of members from both gangs, it is believed by the Los Santos Police Department that in the 1980s alone, The Insanes, Rollin 20s and Longos 13 made up for around 70-80 percent of murders in Seville. On November 23rd, 1993, a famous rapper from the Rollin 20s gang was leaving his apartment in the Seville Blues area when he saw a man causing commotion when he was approaching a red light, he decided to park up and see what the commotion is about from far away, that is when the individual's friend pushed him back into some bushes and played it off as him forgetting to take his medication, as the rapper was getting ready to drive off, that same individual ran out of the bushes and reached in his pants for a weapon, unfortunately the intoxiciated individual wasn't quick enough and the rapper's bodyguard shot and killed him, the dead individual turned out to be a member from the Insane Crip Gang. Later on down the road on March 6th 1999, a member from the Rollin 20s named Kebo was driving through one of the areas that's known to have Insane Crips influence in them with two of his friends when they saw a group of people wearing Insane Crips affiliated attire, him and his friends decided to pull up next to them and pressed about where they're from when an ICG member recognized Kebo and shot and killed him. OPERATION SITE DOWN A group of people suspected in cheating a US-based company out of a total amount of $455,000 has been taken down in raids across Seville led by investigators from the local PD. With investigations on-going, the operation led to the arrest of three people linked to the Insane Crip gang, the suspects allegedly showed off their wealthy lifestyle by buying luxury items and showing it off on social media. The suspects - three aged between 17 and 24 - are believed to be key figures in a much larger group involved in fraud and money laundering. The group is also believed to be behind Tinder and Instagram scams, using fake online identities to lure vulnerable men and women to transfer money. MODERN DAY Today the gang still remains one of the largest gangs in Seville and they still continue to grow larger by the day, they engage in multiple illegal activities to fund their monetary gains and influence, Accordng to local sources the Insanes affiliated areas are considered to be one of the most dangerous areas in Los Santos. Nowadays the gang still feud with the Rollin 20s as of today and the Varrio Longos 13 gang aswell.

  15. Hey everyone, I just gotta get something off my chest - I am beyond proud to be a part of the Hell Runners Motorcycle Club, especially now that we're officially recognized in the LS-RP server. This is a major milestone for me personally, and for all of us who've been grinding away at this dream. It's no secret that LS-RP has seen its fair share of challenges lately, with a dwindling player base and all, but despite that, seeing our faction's name up there feels like a massive win. Huge props to every single person who believed in us from day one and kept pushing us forward, even when things looked bleak. Big shoutout to @danut for being the backbone of this god damn operation and to every member who stuck by our side through thick and thin. This is more than just a virtual achievement; it was my main fucking goal ever since I sent Danut a message way back in July 2023: So here's to us, the Hell Runners Motorcycle Club, and to many more adventures on the road ahead! Ride on, brothers. R F F R. Here's some content, enjoy!

  16. Thanks for your question. Houses with existing owners from when the SAMP server shut, will still retain ownership of those houses. However once we open, those players and their assets will be subject to activity requirements (details TBC), meaning that any players who are inactive will at some point have their properties listed for auction, allowing other players the chance to buy them. The prison will be available at launch, yes, as SADCR.
