The 53 Avalon Gangster Crip (53AGC) street gang were formed in the mid-1980s. The father-set for all the Avalon Gangster Crips was founded by Darrell Peterson also known as "The Godfather of Crips" in the Avalon Gardens Projects. Darrell Peterson broke away from the Eastside Crips like many others after Raymond Washington was incarcerated. The influence of the 88 Avalon Garden Crips trickled down onto various other areas as time went by.
The 53 Avalon Gangster Crips (53AGC) have seldomly been able to let their guard down and has instilled a militarized program to prevent any more deaths within the set. The program was originally conceptualized by the 88 Avalon Garden Crips, who at the time were in a heated on-going war with the 87 & 97 Gangster Crip. The idea behind it was pushed by The God Father, pretty much enacting martial law in his own neighborhood, giving woman and children a curfew at 6:30PM. They were also told to stay away from windows or their front doors because they feared their rivals would do a drive-by. This was passed down to the other Avalon sets who were in active wars.
