When the others find out, the punishment results in a heavy beating as the put off. They don't accept members not banging the set at all. The younger generation shows no remorse and no sympathy to those who oppose the gang. They are willing to sacrifice life in prison or death to further advance the gang. Obviously not every member is like that but a lot of them are the ride or die type as they’ve seen their friends being hurt is one way and they’ve bonded through poverty. July 16th 2017, Latrell Allen also known as H-Face, a member of the 92 Hoovers was walking from a shopping mall on 87th street and Broadway. Allen, were wearing a orange bandana when he was approached by Jakari Thomas, a member of the Rolling 90’s Neighborhood Crips. Thomas asked Allen about his gang affiliations, to which Allen replied and was shot moments later by Thomas. Allen died shortly after the shooting, he was only seventeen years of age. Thomas was sentenced to 25 years to life in the state penitentiary. Shortly after, on August 5th, 2017, a member of the 92 Hoover criminals, Ranell “Peezy” Adams walked into the heart of the Rolling 90s turf, looking to get back for the shooting the previous month. He opened fire, shooting Drayvon James, 29, and Robert Nelson, 16. Both of the victims as well as Adams died from multiple gunshot wounds. Police say Adams himself was responsible for the killings, up close and personal. This marked the beginning of the feud between the 92 Hoover Criminals and the Rolling 90s Neighborhood Crips, only one of the many bloody conflicts that the Hoovers find themselves in.
