The East Side Bounty Hunters are a predominately African-American street gang located in the Nickerson Gardens public housing projects in South Central in the City of Los Santos. Prior to the formation of the Bounty Hunters, the main group in this area was known as the Green Jackets led by Rhea (Ray) Boyce which actually extended into the Jordan Downs projects where Al Pygmy was one of the leaders of the Green Jackets in the Jordan Downs projects. The Bounty Hunters started around 1971 and many attribute Gary Baker and Junior Thomas (1954 – 2017) as being very influential figures during Bounty Hunter’s beginnings which formed off 112th Street in the projects. The Bell Haven Bounty Hunters formed around 1978 to the west of Central Avenue just south of the train tracks and then around 1981, Renee McGowen began the Lot Bounty Hunters. The Bounty Hunters eventually formed a lot of subsets, such as the; Lot Boys, Block Boys, Bell Haven, Ace Line on 111th Street, Deuce Line on Grove Street (Original Block), and many more.  Their main rival would be the Grape Street Watts in the Jordan Downs Housing Projects but since 1992 there has a truce between them and the other gangs in Davis. Although the truce has been in effect for some time, there are occasional problems between the Crips and Bloods in Davis, but not like had occurred during the 1980s and early 1990s. During the early 1970s, the Grove Street and Covenant Avenue housing projects were united as the Green Jackets and there were no Crips in Davis. Eventually, the Jordan Downs became Crips, the Bounty Hunter became Bloods and conflict between the two sets erupted.

Michael “Harry O” Harris is from this neighborhood and he produced a play in 1987 called “Checkmates” that starred Denzel Washington and was considered the financial muscle behind the formation of Death Row records while he was in prison. Harris was convicted of the kidnapping and attempted murder in 1987 and is currently serving 28 years in the Bolingbroke State prison. Although Mike Conception claimed Crip, much of his family were Bloods from this neighborhood and he was born in South Los Santos. Conception was a serious hustler and pimp that was paralyzed during a dice game when he was 21, but he got into the music producing business during the mid 1980s and has worked with many influential music industry artists alongside others groups when he produced the popular west coast version of “Self Destruction” called, “We’re All in the Same Gang” in 1989. He did an interview in the 1999 F.E.D.S. Magazine (Vol.2, Issue #6) and he appeared in the 2004 F.E.D.S. DVD about LS gang history. 

Their main territory, which is in the Davis Housing Projects is from Grove Street (West) to Chamberlain Hills (North). They occupy an area of 0.54 square miles making them the largest Black gang territory in Davis.
