Alonzo Garcia was born on December 28th, 1999 in Tijuana, Mexico. His parents were Nelda Garcia and Juan Garcia. His father was only 17 at the time of his birth, and had to take a full time job and drop out of school to raise him. Working small part time jobs around the week, Juan got a call from his brother from the states. He'd started a small business in Los Santos, in the morningwood area, working with his wife at a flower shop. So, figuring this was the best chance to get his family out of Mexico, and start a new life in the states, Juan took his family and snuck across the border. Alonzo was only 7 years old when they made their journey into America, with the help of some paid protection to make sure they made it in. Once they arrived, he realized his brothers talk of America weren't all he made it out to be. The flower shop didn't have enough money to go around, and Juan had to find a way to pay the bills, so he went to dealing drugs to help support his family, under the already established 5th and hill gang. Juan, being only 20 years old and a Mexican national, found it easy to adapt to the paisano gang lifestyle, and all went well for a few years, until a fateful day on March 15th, 2007. The Federal Bureau of Investigation had caught onto the 5th and Hill gangs activities, and decided to put a stop to it. He was caught, and was charged with class 3 racketeering felony. Since then, he was sentenced to 18 years in prison, without a chance of parole. Present Many of the 5th and Hill members remain behind bars, and the gang has lost most of its reputation, to the point of being borderline defunct. Alonzo Garcia was jumped in at 14 years old, and eventually made his way up the ranks as a ruthless gang member.

History The 5th and Hill gang is a gang that was formerly located in Downtown Los Santos. It was formed in the 1970’s by a group of Mexican immigrants who made a living as day laborers in the 5th Hill streets in Downtown Los Santos. They started their career as criminals by robbing pedestrians who passed through their neighborhood, before starting sales in Heroin in the 1980’s. Authorities believe they received the Heroin in bulk directly from Mexico. The gang is mostly known for being one of the few Mexican gangs in Los Santos that didn’t adopt the Sureno identity, Rather joining the “Paisa car” in Prison, and adopting “22” to their name, 5th and Hill 22. The 22 symbolizes “BB”, the Border Brothers gang. They’re known for having close ties to the Sinaloa cartel, the Border Brothers gang, and various other criminal organizations. Everything was looking up for the gang, heroin was their best selling product. Downtown turned out to be an ideal spot to find clients and dealers because of the low-income immigrants that were easy to spot and recruiting was easy because the gang offered a better, easier way to make a lot of money rather than doing manual labor. The gang was known to be the top drug dealers in Downtown LS, though not everything went as planned. In 2007 the LSPD launched an investigation into the 5th and Hill gang. Months long crackdowns affected the sales and many high profile members of the 5th and Hill gang were arrested. “The police, after the raids were over, found over a million dollars worth of heroin. Police say that they recovered over 45,000 balloons of the product. They also found 85 pounds of tar heroin, enough to fill half a million balloons when diluted. Officers arrested 31 people, alleged leaders of the gang, as well as scores of alleged street sellers that worked for them.” https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2007-mar-15-me-heroin15-story.html Present After the crackdowns on the gang and a lack of clear leadership the gang was near being defunct. Property values in Downtown LS grew higher and higher, driving more and more members of the gang out of Downtown and into the ghettos of South Central. Juan Garcia, the gangs former leader, is currently serving a life sentence in the Twin Towers jail for the murder of a member of the 18th Street gang, though there are rumors that he is currently continuing to run the gang. The remnants of the gang fled to Northern Rancho, where property prices were much cheaper and being a gangster was overall easier to do than in Downtown Los Santos. The 5th and Hill gang are now located in North Rancho, neighboring with the Innocence Family Gangster Bloods, and Florencia 13 Culture and beef The gang is known for getting along with most blood gangs. They have a few beefs, but their biggest one is with the 18th Street gang. The gang had beefed with Florencia 13 in the past, but buried the hatchet so they could band together against 18th Street. They’re known for throwing up an H, or the number 5 with their hands as their gang sign. They wear mostly orange, and sport a variety of different hats. Most hats seen being worn by the gang members are the Florida Mariners, Houston Astros, Atlanta Falcons, and the Pittsburgh Pirates (for Paisa).
