  1. “Chess is a war over the board. The object is to crush the opponent’s mind.” – Bobby Fischer Anything posted on this thread, should be kept on the thread. Posts may vary from detailed to blank depending on the situation. This is to prevent Metagaming. Any concerns can be directed to my DMs.
  2. I. SOUTH CENTRAL LOS SANTOS: South Central, Los Santos. Home to street gangs, prostitutes and narcotics. South Central is made up of several areas within the district; Strawberry a/k/a The Straws, Chamberlain Hills a/k/a Killer Hills, the City of Davis a/k/a Dirt City and Rancho a/k/a the Eastside. Within these areas, there's at least 400 street gangs rumored to be currently active to this day with more that probably haven't been confirmed yet. Known to be the first district to be hit with the crack cocaine epidemic in the 1980s, South Central Los Santos has always been a district surrounded by narcotics, and violence. Although the media doesn't talk about 75% of crimes committed in South Central in the modern day, it's only getting worse than it was in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. With color banging out of the window, you can get killed for wearing a sports team on your body; hat banging, this has become the norm in Los Santos, and in South Central? Taken extremely serious. The residents have said, if you step foot in South Central? To literally avoid wearing hats unless it's a LS hat, Dodgers cap with it saying; DODGERS across it, Raiders, White Sox, or Lakers. Most residents avoid wearing Boston Red Sox, Atlanta Falcons, Detroit Tigers, Seattle Mariners, Chicago Bulls, Kansas City Royals, New York Yankees, Texas Rangers and Houston Astros hats. II. FAMILY THRU BLOOD: Blood Money Incorporated, also known as Blood Money Family, Blood Money Entertainment (Legal use), My Family's Keeper or simply accused of being; The Bullock~Montoya Organization out of South Central Los Santos. Not much is known about Blood Money Incorporated, in fact there is literally nothing known other than the fact even the name Blood Money Incorporated was given to them by the authorities in the state of Arizona. There's no confirmation that the organization is actually in existence, and the only near enough proof of it is Blood Money Entertainment which in itself is a legal music trademark for several musicians. Gerald Bullock of the E/S Davis Avenue Crips, and Keith Bradford of the Mob Piru gang are the only two near enough proofs that such organization exists, and even then they were only affiliated to the legalized label of the said group, but also had gang affiliations. Gerald Bullock, one of a few and one of not so many, is a now life sentenced criminal affiliated to the Border Brothers 22 prison gang in Arizona's FCI Phoenix facility and also one of many investors for B.M.E. Authorities suspect such organization exists as several people have been suspected to be linked to it, and the traditions are still laying around in the shadows whilst B.M.E itself isn't even around anymore as an entertainment studio, there's still references to such organization for its illegal counterpart. Authorities believe that the organization is striving today in the modern era because some members of the organization go to extreme lengths to hide their affiliation to the point there's no way to confirm it still exists, one being Malcolm F. Ruiz who was taken in on drug possession charges and often disguise themselves as Hip-Hop enthusiasts, attending M.C. concerts and trying to extort local up-and-coming rappers. Malcolm's involvement in this doesn't confirm he's a member of the Blood Money Family, but authorities suspect that he is involved with the group. The authorities haven't officially confirmed the group's existence, but on several rap tracks from South Central rappers; "Blood Money", "B-Money", "Family Through Blood", "Blood Brothers" "Blood Sisters" those terms were used, and clothing such as Blood Money, Blood Money Family and Family Through Blood were seen on several rappers, some of which who referred to this. The group might not officially be called what the authorities say, but from several sources; evidence has been gathered and a name were pinpointed onto the group. It's also unclear to say this crew only operates in South Central, as artists and your regular dirty criminal low-down pieces of shit Joes have all been sighted with what authorities say are B.M.I affiliations in states such as: San Andreas (Both NorSan, and SoSan), Arizona, Texas, Oregon and Nevada. What's safe to assume is, if this said organization is in fact in existence, then they're more than likely only based on the West Coast and parts of the Dirty South in the United States of America. Since the only accused rumors are artists all saying the same stuff, and wearing clothing that criminals also wear related to a defunct entertainment group, or that some people related to it have been linked to the Border Brothers 22 in prisons and outside of prisons in the country, it'd be a bad thing to say this group exists as a criminal organization, or in fact exists at all. But ruling it out won't happen, as it's always a possibility that there might be a shadow group operating under the radar for one of the country's fastest growing Security Threat Groups (STGs); Border Brothers 22. III. LIVING ON THE RUN: Whilst having a fair share of their activities in South Central, the group's suspected activity has been rumored to have taken place in several parts of San Andreas, Nevada and Arizona in the last three years. Quoted from another section: "It's also unclear to say this crew only operates in South Central, as artists and your regular dirty criminal low-down pieces of shit Joes have all been sighted with what authorities say are B.M.I affiliations in states such as: San Andreas (Both NorSan, and SoSan), Arizona, Texas, Oregon and Nevada. What's safe to assume is, if this said organization is in fact in existence, then they're more than likely only based on the West Coast and parts of the Dirty South in the United States of America. " It's believed that the suspected ghost crew is rumored to be behind a lot of footwear and fake jewelry sales, which is what authorities suspect them to use as a legal way of earning money. Currently as we speak, in the modern day and age; groups such as Blood Money Inc & Co are said to be a dying breed, whilst some others would argue it's in fact quite the opposite. Due to the group have very little information about them out there, it's unknown whether there's a structure, or if there is one, and if there is; how organized it is. Most would argue that media outlets and authorities are beating a dead horse, whilst some others would say they're on track to hunting down a ghost crew that needs to be taken off of the streets. IV. OUT OF CHARACTER: The aim of this thread is to showcase the realistic aspect of pipeline roleplay that involves other ethnicities and paisas themselves connected to the Paisa network in Southern California, specifically under the Border Brothers 22 Security Threat Group (STG). Any Metagame will be taken seriously, and staff will be asked to intervene. I personally ask that anyone who wants to give criticism, please direct it to my personal messages. For any questions/inquiries also direct it to my personal messages. For anyone wishing to roleplay with the concept, sadly everything will be taken completely in-character; meaning zero out of character influence will be taken into this concept a/k/a no PMs asking to join. The reason for doing this, is to spark more roleplay in-character, and hopefully bring a more enjoyable experience to the concept for those involved.

  6. Fernando Garcia was raised up in a poor family, in the southern part of Aguascalientes, Mexico. Garcia grew up around a violent environment, where all the kids did anything for money, from stealing, to selling drugs, to even killing at the ages of twelve to thirteen, which led to him getting involved in the narcotics business. He started to sell drugs until his parents found out about the schemes he has been involved in. When he turned sixteen his father forced him into enlisting into the army, lying about his age, as his looks didn't match his age. Back then joining the army, or even the police was a death sentence due to the corruption that had its tentacles wrapped around the government. Mexico was controlled by all the drug lords, and most of the guys who tried to fight for the 'liberation' of their country usually died at the age of twenty. When Fernando was nineteen he enlisted for the Military Police where he served for ten more years to come, he took advantage from the whole situation and abused most of his power. Because of the low income of money coming his way, he decided to cross the border, almost brainwashed with the whole American Dream mindset.
  7. As the drug war in Mexico escalates, drug cartels have began to employ sicaria, or hit women; the women assassins, ranging in age from 18 to 30, work alongside men. Most women are assigned to different jobs alongside Cells — such as halcones (lookouts), hit squads, and extortionists — and operate independently; the hit women are trained to use rifles and handguns and sometimes accompany their male counterparts; women in Mexico and have been previously accused of being part of kidnapping rings, often assigned to keep watch on captives; women have also held roles as recruiters, transporters and leaders of drug-smuggling cells. An alleged hit man told Mexican federal police that beautiful young women are working as killers for the Juárez and Sinaloa drug cartels. “They have to look good to deceive our opponents,” Rogelio Amaya Martínez said in a videotaped interview by Mexico’s Ministry of Public Safety.

    Story of Luna

    Story of Luna Mauricio Luna, or just commonly known as Luna (meaning 'moon' in Spanish) is a Mexican male in his late twenties/early thirties. An ex-military from Mexico finds himself in San Andreas to find a better life, or as everyone calls it 'chase the American dream". As regular jobs were not cutting it for him, hungry for money Luna ends up associating himself with people who make their living by committing home invasions. In a matter of weeks, Luna finds himself breaking into one of the houses with his new crew. The home burglary takes an unexpected turn and everything goes sour. Luna and his associates are arrested and charged with burglary, however, Mauricio only gets a minor 8-month sentence, as he had zero criminal record in the past. Inside the joint, Luna being a Mexican national meant that he'd have to program with the 'paisa' car. He found himself integrated within the paisa community inside and found many men from similar backgrounds to him inside, whether they were drug mules for cartels, illegal immigrants waiting deportation and so forth. Time went on and Mauricio had began to build a relationship with an infamous group within the paisa car, known as 'Border Brothers'. They were a group of Mexican nationals, who gangbanged on the outside and had very close ties to cartels back in México. Luna was hungry, that's the whole reason he found himself inside the system. This was a great opportunity for him, he was taught hustles on the outside by other criminals, and eventually obtained contacts on the outside world to continue his journey into becoming a career criminal. As Luna was about to finish his sentence and leave the prison, a keyholder of the 'Border Brothers' gang approached and slipped a note to him. He said 'When you're outside and ready to put in the work, go see this person, he will take care of you'. The note said 'Motel, Sandy Shores' and underneath it "El Araña'. Without too much thought, Luna, after finishing his sentence decided to follow his intuition and find this person who would help him get back on his feet in the outside world. This thread will follow the story of Mauricio Luna and his development as a member of 'Border Brothers'
  10. "The Paisa Car" or "The Paisa Ranfla" can be described as an alliance between several Mexican National prison gangs from which the majority of its memberships are composed of arrested drug mules, illegal immigrants and "Coyotes", also known as "Polleros" (human traffickers across the border). The main organizations that are in the "paisa alliance" are the Border Brothers Prison Gang, Paisa 16 Prison Gang, Tango Paisa Mexicles and the PRM. The paisas are also commonly known for operating under the structure of the Sinaloa Cartel with the exception of Barrio Azteca. But the paisas from Texas could also operate for the Gulf Area cartel groups and the same could happen for paisas that come from Tijuana which could have been operating under the Arellano Felix structure. The paisa prison gangs are complex and their numbers run deep in the federal system due to the nature of their crimes. Border Brothers Prison Gang The Border Brothers gang was founded in 1989 by Sergio Gonzalez-Martinez and others in Tijuana, Mexico and spread into San Andreas in 1990; recruiting criminal illegal immigrants in barrios across San Andreas, Arizona, Nevada, Denver and Tijuana Mexico. The organization runs the bulk of their operations through San Diego, Los Santos, Fresno and Oakland. The Border Brothers will often identify themselves through the letters BB or the number 22; as well as 2=B or XXII. It’s also not uncommon to see the depiction of a jaguar-shaped Aztec warrior god’s head, Ocelotl, encircled by flames, with eight elongated flames to depict their affiliation. Their clothing is another means to identify them, where members will most often dress in black or blue clothes, with bandanas. The Border Brothers are classified as one of the fastest growing STGs (Security Threat Groups), and are considered to have the highest and most validated members by the Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation & Re-entry from their latest report. As such, they seem to work under two distinct branches: street and prison. The prison gang operates under a paramilitary structure of President, Vice President, generals, lieutenants, sergeants and soldiers, whilst the street gangs are more loosely organized. Some of the most important things that separates Border Brothers from other Latino criminal organizations is their utilization of a high number of “Paisas”; Mexican Nationals who live or become incarcerated in the US, usually on drug trafficking charges across country borders. This allowed the organization to operate under the radar by generating less controversy compared to Sureños and Norteños. This is achieved by staying quiet in the criminal sphere, keeping strictly to themselves, only speaking Spanish and not claiming territory (Pogrebin, Qualitative Approaches to Criminal Justice: Perspectives from the Field, 2002, Page 306). In regard to race, an article published by East Bay Times (Scott Johnson, May 2011) states that the Border Brothers tend to accept people of all races. An “OG” (original gangster) Border Brother was documented stating the following: “We don’t discriminate, if they’re down to die for us, they’re welcome. It doesn’t matter if he’s black or white, anything. But if you turn your back on us, that’s another story.” Pogrebin also quotes another testimony stating the following: “The Border Brothers don’t want to have anything to do with Sureños-Norteños. They keep out of that ‘cause it’s not our fighting and all of that is stupid... Either you are a Chicano or you’re not. There is no sense of being separated (Case 3).” (Qualitative Approaches to Criminal Justice: Perspectives from the Field, 2002, Page 306) P16 Prison Gang The paisas 16 are mostly composed of Mexican Nationals who were arrested while crossing the border into the United States illegally. The majority of them are not into criminal activity in the West Coast but they do operate as a gang in Texas under the "Tango Mexicles" banner. In the union, members refer to themselves as "paisano" or just "paisa". Their affiliation is considered "light" (strictly to prison) and their initiation requirements vary from each facility. The gang was mainly formed to seek independence from what they perceived as "negative" prison gangs that operated under the "blood in-blood out" vision which states that the only way to leave the gang is by death. Although their major strenght resides within the federal prison system of the United States, it is also believed that members from the "Mexicles Union" have presence in many other states and that their membership could go from 20,000 to 23,000 validated individuals. In the state of Texas they formed their own "Tango" chapter known as "Tango Mexicles" and a lot of its members are Salvadoran, Colombian, Guatemalan and Honduran amongst other Latin-Americans. The number 16 represents the letter P of the alphabet and members of the gang might wear some Mexican culture tattoos such as the Mexican eagle, the Mexican coat of arms or the "Hecho en México" (Made in Mexico) official commercial logo eagle as well as the portraits of Mexico's Independence heroes with the likes of Emiliano Zapata and Francisco Villa. PRM (Partido Revolucionario Mexicano) The PRM was founded in 1987-1988 in TDCJ’s Coffield Unit by six inmates who wanted to protect themselves from other offenders and prison groups. Until 1994, the PRM was comprised of only Mexican nationals and individuals of Mexican descent. After 1994, recruitment was opened to individuals of Latin descent from Central and South America. In July 2005, TDCJ formally identified the PRM as an STG. Members of the PRM identify themselves as “Borrachos.” The PRM tattoo often incorporates the letters "PRM" and/or the emblem on the Mexican flag (i.e., eagle, snake, cactus, and half wreath). The words "Estados Unidos Mexicanos" may be added above the eagle. The number “6” is a code number used to identify membership (Note: There are six letters in the word “Mexico” and “Mezcal”) and the tattoo “P31” is also used (“R” is the 18th letter of the alphabet and “M” is the 13th letter; thus “P” + 18 + 13 = P31). In addition, since the group has used the word “borracho” (Spanish for “drunk”) to denote membership, some members may bear a tattoo of a Mexican male sitting on the ground, wearing a sombrero tilted forward, with a bottle of Mezcal or Tequila in his hand or beside him. Tangos The Tangos are one of the fastest growing groups in Texas, both within the prison system and on the streets, and are attaining near fad status. The term “Tango” is derived from Spanish slang and indicates a “town or hometown clique”. The term also refers to the letter T in the International Radiotelephony Spelling Alphabet, commonly known as the NATO phonetic alphabet or the ICAO phonetic alphabet to indicate that the group operates in the whole of Texas. Membership is usually voluntary and based on the geographic location where the offender resides. The rules governing Tango membership are less stringent than those required for STGs, which have historically adhered to a “blood in-blood out” philosophy. Tangos also abide by an existing set of basic written rules that specifically outline the expectations of their members. The Tangos and their behavior within the prison system are more consistent with other self-protection groups; however, the Tangos have also evolved into groups that, because of their large numbers, have successfully challenged the more established STGs. Presently, TDCJ’s Security Threat Group Management Office monitors the Tango groups, but does not recognize them as a validated STG. The four largest Tango groups, known collectively as the “Four Horsemen,” are “Houstone” from Houston; “D-Town” from Dallas; “Foritos” from Fort Worth; and “ATX” or “Capirucha” from Austin. Other Tango groups include the “Vallucos” from the Rio Grande Valley; the West Texas Tangos (WTX) from West Texas and the Texas Panhandle; “Corpitos” from Corpus Christi; “San Anto” or “Orejones” from San Antonio; and “EPT” from El Paso. Some Tangos may also identify themselves as being “Tango Blast” (TB), which is not so much a separate organization as it is an indication that the offender has participated in heightened criminal activity on behalf of the organization. The term “blasting” refers to involvement in violent or disruptive criminal behavior against other gang members or criminal justice personnel, particularly inside the Texas prison system. Most Tangos who claim TB membership come from the Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, and Houston areas. Tango structure and leadership vary in and out of prison. Within the prison system, Tangos elect a representative for each unit, known as a “Spokesman,” as well as a designated speaker for each pod, wing, or dorm who reports directly to the Spokesman. Outside of prison, the Tango groups appear to be more loosely organized. They operate in small groups and cells without a well-defined structure or identified leader. Tangos are involved in a variety of criminal activity, including auto theft, burglaries, narcotics trafficking, illegal alien smuggling, home invasions, robberies, kidnappings, and homicide—all offenses that have historically been committed by STGs. Furthermore, as a result of technological advancements and easier access to automated information, law enforcement can expect to see an increase in a wide variety of computer-related crimes by the newer and technologically-savvy gang members, including identity theft, fraud, and other financial crimes. The Internet has also provided gangs an avenue of communication and self-promotion that has not been available to them in the past. With the younger generation’s increasing attraction to living the “Thug Life” or becoming a “G,” these groups will continue to pose a legitimate threat to the public, law enforcement, and criminal justice personnel at all levels. Tango members can be identified by their tattoos, which usually depict a hometown sports team and/or the team logo, a city skyline, area code numbers representing their hometowns, or the slang term for their hometown. Tangos who claim to be TB members may also use the tattoo “16-20-2” to represent the 16th, 20th, and 2nd letters of the alphabet, or “PTB,” which stands for “Puro Tango Blast.” The Paisa Tango Mexicles was formed in the Texas prison system by a group of Mexican nationals and immigrants who banded together to protect themselves from being recruited or assaulted by other STGs. Although members of this gang may be tattooed with the word “Mexicle” or “Mexicles,” the term is not used exclusively by them. The word “Mexicle” is a term used to describe a Mexican citizen and thus is sometimes found in tattoos worn by members of other gangs, such as the Partido Revolucionario Mexicano (PRM).

    Martín Cano

    The purpose of this thread is to follow Martín Cano's development. Martín Cano was born in Baja California, and raised in Los Santos, San Andreas. His Father an immigrant from Michoacán, and his mother a border child, from Baja California/San Diego. Martín grew up a subject of poverty, along with many other Hispanics within the city, if not the majority. Times were different back then though, being born in the 1980s, you can imagine the atmosphere was completely different to it is now. Martín grew up throughout the 80s and 90s, when gang culture was at it's peak. He got involved with a group of 'paisa' folk, who were from the same background as him. The group would go on to commit petty crime, such as petty theft, low level drug dealing and so forth. Time went on and Martín's father was soon deported back to Mexico after being discovered by immigration, working in the states without legitimate papers nor a greencard. This left a huge impact on Martín's family, now the main source of income had gone. Martín's mother was forced to struggle to keep herself and children alive, she worked many jobs, someone had to put food on the table. Years went by and Martín grew older, he found himself falling and unable to get himself back up in the world of crime. Deeper and deeper, but it's alright, surely he'll be able to get himself fixed up and straightened out before it's too late, right? Who knows. His mother knew that wasn't true, she tried to move out of the state to Texas in order to get herself and her children away from the city disease of gang violence and whatnot. It went well, it was a clean slate, until Martín eventually fell into similar circumstances, however this time in Texas. After spending a while in Texas, Martín returned to Mexico and found himself travelling from town to town. After becoming involved with a biker gang, he eventually became a patched in member after an estimated 7 months of being associated with them, and undergoing his prospect phase. Years went on, and Martín eventually became a nomad. It was then, when Martín decided to return to the states, back to Texas. Martín was soon arrested and charged for possession of an illicit substance and served within a level two state prison. Level two's aren't quite the same as level threes and level fours. Things pop off all the time, people seem more aggressive and easily provoked. This is mainly due to the fact that lower level prisons usually have a less organized system inside as to higher levels, where organizations such as The Mexican Mafia, Nuestra Familia, Aryan Brotherhood, Black Guerrilla Families and so forth operate at a much tighter and constructed level. During Martín's time incarcerated in the state of Texas, he soon became associated with the infamous 'BORDER BROTHERS' organization, an organization which operates both in the USA and in some parts of Mexico. Border Brothers was founded in Tijuana during the 1980s and soon grew greater into the United States, infiltrating prisons in California, Arizona and Texas, along with other neighbouring areas. Time went on, and Martín became an official member of the group. He would soon find himself working his way to a position of power, until he became keyholder on the mainline. Martín was released from incarceration in early 2020, and upon his release, he was tasked with travelling to San Andreas with intentions to support the small number of paisas attempting to create a movement within the state. Martín was met by Antonio De La Garza, a long time friend who had also served time with Martín. Now, it's all in writing, who knows where this story will end.
  13. Antonio "Diablo" DeLaGarza was born in Culiacán, Sinaloa in 1980. His relatives were from different parts of the Sinaloa state including the Badiraguato region also known as the "Mexican Sicily". Some of the most notorious druglords from Mexico are from that area. Diablo grew up around the "Narcocultura" or "Narco-Culture" and eventually joined a criminal cell from the town of Cosalá. According to Jesús Campos (one of his former cellmates), the nickname of "El Diablo" or "The Devil" comes from his grandmother who called him like that when he started to grow a moustache and his looks resembled the "Lotería" (Mexican Bingo) "El Diablo" or "El Diablito" card. When he was twenty years old, Antonio was arrested while doing his first contraband run into the United States. He drove a car through the Nogales, Arizona port of entry with one kilogram of heroin and five kilograms of pure cocaine stashed into his vehicle's trunk. Antonio served part of his sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution, Phoenix (FCI Phoenix) where he "cliqued up" and became affiliated to the Border Brothers prison gang. During the first years of serving his sentence, DeLaGarza constantly got into fist fights and brawls with rival prison gangs which earned him the reputation of a violent inmate amongst the general population but also gave him extra years. DeLaGarza was also suspected of taking part in the stabbing and murdering of another inmate but due to the lack of witnesses and any other form of evidence the investigation couldn't proceed. As time went by and his notoriety grew, DeLaGarza acquired a leading position within the Border Brothers prison gang. With this, Antonio started to run his own "hustles" such as gambling and drug smuggling activities into the facility but he was caught and sent to the USP Tucson (a high-security United States federal prison for male inmates in Arizona) where he served the rest of his sentence. While being in Tucson, DeLaGarza built strong business relationships with other high profile gang members from different prison gangs with whom he organized narcotics and weapons deals that took place on the streets of Phoenix, Arizona with the use of smuggled cellphones, guards corruption and his wife's assistance. But Diablo always planned on building an even bigger operation at the time of his release by taking advantage of his family ties to the infamous Sinaloa Cartel and the border-wide structure of the 22 gang. After his release, DeLaGarza continued with his ambitious goals and expanded his operations into the state of San Andreas on behalf of his father in law by creating an alliance with a notorious Mexican Mafia crew from Los Santos through contacts in common from Phoenix and Sinaloa. Antonio's wife, Estrella Mondragón, met Antonio when she was seventeen years old and Antonio nineteen. A year later, Estrella and Antonio got married but Diablo was also arrested during that year. Diablo's daughter, Erandi, had already been born and Estrella decided to study Accounting at the UAS (Universidad Autónoma de Sinaloa) in order to aid on her father's fiscal declarations being that he was part of a Sinaloa Cartel cell. Estrella perfected her skills at money laundering as Antonio became affiliated to a prison gang known as the Border Brothers 22. Eventually, Estrella got herself a business VISA and visited Antonio constantly while he "did his time" in the Arizona federal prison system and also created money laundering operations on U.S. soil. DeLaGarza prohibited Estrella to take Erandi with her to the visits due to fear of any sort of retaliation against him as he was starting to become a "shotcaller" for the gang, so Diablo mostly knew his daughter through family photographs. Estrella began to help Antonio with the deals he organized from "the inside" with the help of her father, who also grew up in rank within the cartel. The DeLaGarzas were profiting, when Erandi was fifteen Antonio instructed his father in law to buy her a 2009 Hummer H2 that was in mint condition. Campos says that Diablo found the vehicle while browsing on the internet through a smuggled phone and negotiated its price from his cell. Some say that Erandi's name was written with diamonds on the dashboard for the car to become a collectors' item. Being an only child, "Erandita", as Diablo is used to call her, was given expensive gifts on the regular since Antonio tried to compensate for being an absent parent but the situation got very bad for Erandi when her mother Estrella got arrested in Mexico for driving with an unregistered weapon and with one million U.S. dollars and three million Mexican pesos that she was delivering from Mexicali to Culiacán. With contacts, money and corruption, Estrella was released after serving only four years in a Mexican state prison but by this time Erandi had followed on her footsteps and graduated from the Tecnológico de Monterrey private university, Culiacán campus with the same career as hers since she also fell in love with a criminal. Jairo was a young and prominent CDS operative and a member of "Los Ninis", a narco-cell from Culiacán under "Los Chapitos". The new boyfriend paid for Erandi's bills including college but he mysteriously disappeared a few months later after Erandi's graduation party in what seemed to be a quiet execution from a rival cartel. Devastated, Erandi fell into depression and gambled a lot of her parents money in a rebellious act against her mother eventually leading into a strong fight and a break up. Due to this, Erandi decided to visit her father in Los Santos, San Andreas as soon as she heard he was in town. When Antonio notified Estrella about this to ease her worrying, she also flew to L.S. After reuniting and living together on the same apartment for a few months, the family slowly began to act normal again and the relationships between Estrella, Antonio and Erandi got stronger.
