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.

Marvin has both parents alive and at home, both his mother and father are Mexican-American, Yanez was born and raised in an environment where the Chicano culture is influential in Los Santos, as well as being slightly influenced by the attitudes of the local gang, as a child he would see them on the street and wished he could be like one of them. Marvin's mother is a grocery store worker, and his father has been unemployed since 2023. Marvin constantly has fights at home with his father because he does nothing to support the family and spends his days and nights drinking and doing nothing with his life. This causes Marvin to move away from him and start going out on the streets more often. (The school) Marvin was always a good student, since he was a little boy he showed his intelligence in any area, he was obsessed with sports, especially baseball, he started to watch Dodger games and even bet with his teammates when the team was playing. Marvin's grades began to decline when he began to have more worries at home, his father fell into alcohol and he had to take care of the house chores while his mother worked, sometimes even arguing with his father when he was drunk. (Actually) Currently Marvin misses a lot of school, he usually goes out to hang out with people from his neighborhood, when he goes out he is usually looking for ways to make money easily, he usually makes bets with his friends or takes money from people he meets. Lying on the street, he has an ambitious mind and always worries about bringing everything home. He is still a baseball fan and always watches the games and keeps up with his favorite team.
