 Mara Salvatrucha 13 (Known by the abbreviations MS, MARA and MS-13) is a predominantly Salvadoran street gang and transnational criminal organization. Its origins can be traced back to Los Santos, San Andreas in the early 1980s. The Mara Salvatrucha was started by Salvadoran war refugees and ex civil war insurgents in the impoverished Little Seoul neighborhood of Westside Los Santos. While the majority of its members across the Americas are ethnic Salvadorans, a considerable minority have ancestries from elsewhere in Latin America. In the United States, the organization has the largest ethnic diversity, with Mexican Americans and Caribbean immigrants becoming more visible within the gang in the past several years.

 

 Originally a large group of petty criminals and punk rock enthusiasts from Little Seoul, the Mara Salvatrucha mutated into a viciously violent street gang sometime in the late 1980s. Sometime between 1986 - 1989, clashes between the Central American communities broke out with the Mexican American and Asian American majorities in neighborhoods of Westside Los Santos. It was during these racial and ethnic clashes that Mara Salvatrucha was created in its contemporary form. In 1989, the organization had a falling out with the 18th Street gang. It is unknown as to exactly why the falling out occurred, but it has been long speculated that a member of Mara Salvatrucha was murdered over a relationship with a woman. Others have speculated that it was because Mara Salvatrucha began selling narcotics on 18th Street gang's turf, and had abducted some of their prostitutes. In any case, the falling out initiated extremely barbaric violence in the streets of Los Santos that carried over well into the next decade. While Mara Salvatrucha was becoming well established in Los Santos, a significant amount of their members began getting deported back to El Salvador, starting in 1992.

 

 The deported members of Mara Salvatrucha started the street gang in El Salvador's major cities such as San Salvador, Santa Ana and Usulutan. At the same time, deportees who once belonged to the 18th Street gang were creating the street gang's presence in the country as well. Over the remainder of the 1990s, more deportees who were ex members of both street gangs arrived in the Northern Triangle countries of Central America. This created the Mara Salvatrucha and 18th Street gang in Central America. Within the United States, members of the Mara Salvatrucha spread out across the country in order to avoid harsh legal penalties in San Andreas for their criminal activities. By the late 2000s, it was commonly accepted in the law enforcement community that Mara Salvatrucha had a physical presence in at least 40 American states and was active in the countries of Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and Nicaragua. In 2008, the street gang's first documented presence in Canada was in the city of Toronto, Ontario. Despite the Toronto Police Service's swift action against the street gang, it still remains active within the city to this day. It is rumored that the Mara Salvatrucha are active in other Canadian cities such as Vancouver and Montreal, thanks to a flow of undocumented migrants coming into Canada from the United States since 2016. Law enforcement authorities in North America, Central America and Western Europe have all confirmed that Mara Salvatrucha has ties to criminal organizations operating within the European Union.

 

 Mara Salvatrucha is known for its particularly violent nature. Knowledge of their heinous crimes has became public knowledge across much of North America over the course of the 2010s, especially after the 2016 U.S. federal elections. Mara Salvatrucha are known for their participation in the international trafficking of illicit narcotics, military grade firearms, humans and human organs. Just like with any other street gang or criminal organization, they are heavily involved with so-called "traditional crimes" that include but are not limited to: drug and stolen firearm distribution, prostitution, truck hijackings, business extortion, armed robbery and premeditated murder. Its members are heavily involved with crimes deemed to be socially unacceptable by the majority of criminals; they are infamous for raping and sexually assaulting their rivals and innocent civilians. Their prolific involvement in such crimes has caused the government of El Salvador to designate Mara Salvatrucha as a terrorist organization. In the United States, under the presidency of Donald Trump, illegal Salvadoran immigrants with ties to the street gang have been especially targeted for incarceration and deportation.

 

 In the United States, the Mara Salvatrucha's traditional stronghold has been in Southern San Andreas, although it is in a decline there due to infighting and law enforcement crackdowns. The Mara Salvatrucha has grown in strength in other regions of the country, however, such as the New England states, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Florida and Texas. In Mexico, the organization is used as muscle by various drug cartels, especially in the northern regions of the country. Within Central America, it is found in Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and Nicaragua. It has a confirmed presence in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and is rumored to nowadays exist in Vancouver and Montreal. Regardless of which country it has a physical presence in, its members reside and criminally operate within urban, suburban and rural areas.

 

 The Mara Salvatrucha have historically and traditionally identified themselves in various ways. They usually wear blue, gray and black clothing, sports paraphernalia with the number 13 on it, are heavily tattooed (especially on the face) and communicate with gang signs such as the Devil Horns. No matter which geographical region that they occupy, they predominately speak Central American dialects of Spanish that heavily incorporate urban slang from both El Salvador and the Chicano subculture of Southern San Andreas. Their moral subculture dictates that extreme acts of violence that include decapitation, disembowelment, physical castration, rape and other forms of sexual assault are necessary in order to obtain retribution against their rivals.

 

 The Mara Salvatrucha have little to no allies in the criminal underworld or elsewhere. In the United States, their main rivals include the 18th Street gang, Sureños, Norteños, Bloods, Crips and numerous peckerwood / skinhead / neo-Nazi street gangs. Their other rivals include Trinitarios (3ni), Dominican's Don't Play (DDP), Ñetas, Latin Kings and Gangster Disciples (GDs). All law enforcement authorities are considered enemies of Mara Salvatrucha, and this has led to the street gang deliberately murdering police officers in multiple countries, simply for the sake of doing so. In El Salvador, soldiers from the Salvadoran Army have been shot dead by deliberately positioned snipers in the slums of major cities. Their aggression towards law enforcement anywhere, and the Salvadoran military, has led the Salvadoran government to declare them a terrorist organization. Others have informally referred to the Mara Salvatrucha as an anti-government insurgency organization in Central America, though this view has not been adopted by governmental authorities.

MS-13 In Los Santos

 

 Los Santos is the city of origin for the Mara Salvatrucha. Mara Salvatrucha was created in the early 1980s as a large group of petty criminals and punk rock enthusiasts. These petty criminals and punk rock enthusiasts were refugees and communist insurgent fighters from the Salvadoran Civil War in El Salvador. In the middle class Little Seoul neighborhood of Westside Los Santos, the earliest so-called Mareros consumed high quantities of marijuana, attended punk rock concerts and regularly threw block parties in their locality. However, as the decade progressed, many people in the Salvadoran community, including those members of the Mara Salvatrucha Stoners, faced racial and ethnic discrimination from their Mexican American and African American counterparts. Because of this discrimination, a considerable amount of the Salvadoran community found it extremely difficult to find employment and to participate in the greater community. A significant amount of the Salvadoran community in all Westside Los Santos neighborhoods rebelled against this discrimination. This led to vicious racial and ethnic clashes between the Central American minorities and majorities of Mexican Americans and African Americans. In the late 1980s, sometime between 1986 and 1989, the Mara Salvatrucha Stoners became a barbaric street gang with a penchant for extreme violence. They started attacking well-established street gangs that fell under the Sureño, Maravilla, Blood and Crip banners. In these attacks, the weapon of choice was edged weapons such as knives and machetes. Their rivals and innocent civilians were hacked to death in the streets, in public businesses and within the comfort of their own homes. In addition to these brutal murders, their rivals and innocent civilians were violently raped and sexually assaulted in the streets, both during broad daylight and late at night. This is what primarily cemented the violent reputation of Mara Salvatrucha. Around the same period, the Mara Salvatrucha had a falling out with the 18th Street gang. The exact cause for the falling out remains unknown today, although both street gangs have their own version of events that led to it. The rivalries with the Sureños, Maravilla, 18th Street gang, Bloods and Crips still exists to this day in Los Santos.

 

 By 1990, the clashes, which had been raging for approximately 4 years, had claimed the lives of well over 40 street gang members, 1 police officer, 2 off-duty members of the Army National Guard and around 20 innocent people. Most people who were killed had either been beaten, stabbed, shot or hacked to death in the streets, in public places such as restaurants or in private dwellings. Numerous small businesses and private dwellings had been firebombed. Most of the private dwellings that got firebombed were used to manufacture illicit narcotics and stash military grade firearms such as automatic weapons. By 1991, the Los Santos Police Department greatly increased their presence across Westside Los Santos as a result of public demand. This included routine raids on private properties that were confirmed to have been used to manufacture and distribute crack cocaine. After the clashes were concluded to have ended in 1993, they had claimed the lives of an estimated 75 people over 7 years. Well over 200 people were injured or wounded in the clashes, including 32 people who were recorded as having permanent physical and mental disabilities. Black and Latino street gang members comprised the majority of casualties.

 

 In the early 1990s, starting in 1992, the United States government began deporting Los Santos members of Mara Salvatrucha back to El Salvador. Other destination countries for the street gang's deportees included Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. After being deported to their countries of origin, members of the Mara Salvatrucha simply started the street gang in urban, suburban and rural areas. By the late 1990s, most of the so-called historic cliques of Mara Salvatrucha had been formed in Los Santos. Because of increasingly harsh legal penalties in San Andreas for gang-related crimes, many members of Mara Salvatrucha went elsewhere in the country. In the early 2000s, the Mara Salvatrucha had spread across most of the Western U.S. and expanded east into the Northeast coast and Southern states such as Florida. In the late 2000s, law enforcement across the country finally acknowledged the Mara Salvatrucha as a very important threat to innocent people and to the country itself. The Mara Salvatrucha in other regions of the United States, to this day, maintains close connections with the Mara Salvatrucha in Los Santos.

 

 The Mara Salvatrucha in Los Santos, as of the late 2000s, has lost significant influence within the criminal underworld. Law enforcement crackdowns, along with infighting that stemmed from a massive divide in the street gang, has weakened its influence across the city. Additionally, a substantial amount of its members, since the early 2010s, have been incarcerated in San Andreas state prisons or have been deported back to Mexico and Central America's Northern Triangle countries. The Mara Salvatrucha in Los Santos is split between two factions: the Salvadoran faction and the Los Santos faction. The Salvadoran faction is a so-called "tax-free" faction of the Mara Salvatrucha that favors a traditional gang structure and modus operandi over allying with the Mexican Mafia. The Los Santos faction comprises Americanized cliques of the Mara Salvatrucha that are friendly towards the Mexican Mafia, and are far more likely to abide by their rules and regulations in the streets. Infighting between these two groups of Mara Salvatrucha have been ongoing for several years, which has resulted in a relatively excessive amount of deaths and other casualties. An estimated over 60 street gang members from both groups of Mara Salvatrucha have been killed in the streets since 2011, an unknown amount have been permanently injured and at least 5 police officers have been critically wounded by gunfire and from being attacked with machetes. The blatant attacks against the police by Mara Salvatrucha has triggered massive round-ups of the street gang's members across the city, most notably in 2015.

 

 The Mara Salvatrucha has an estimated 1,000 - 1,500 members with origins in Southern San Andreas alone. The majority of these 1,000 some odd members, however, are currently within some stage of the criminal justice system. Many are incarcerated in state prisons, or are in county jails as they await trials for drug, weapon, theft and murder charges. Some are currently housed in detention facilities operated by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and are awaiting to be deported to Mexico and Central American countries. This leaves Mara Salvatrucha with approximately 600 - 750 members in the streets. It has a very strong presence in the impoverished neighborhoods of the Northern Los Santos and the Westside districts; it is far less influential in East Los and in the South Central. The street gang has had to decrease its visible presence in the streets in the past couple of years, as law enforcement have became more aggressive since the 2016 election of Donald Trump. The street gang has developed a tendency to shift away from traditional crimes and has focused more on the abduction, forcible confinement, rape and sexual assault of innocent civilians. Additionally, it has carried out unprovoked violent attacks against police officers and rival gang members for the sake of continuing to be violent. Experts on the Mara Salvatrucha in Los Santos have concluded that their recent behavior is out of desperation in light of recent events since 2011. These same experts are predicting that Mara Salvatrucha may be completely gone from Los Santos and Southern San Andreas in general by 2030, due to infighting and law enforcement action.

Mara Salvatrucha Parkview Locos

 

The Parkview Locos are a clique of the Mara Salvatrucha gang operating in and around Seoul Park on the western side of Little Seoul.

 

 The Parkview Locos were one of the first Mara Salvatrucha cliques to surface in the Little Seoul district of the eastern side of Los Santos. The clique was founded by Salvadoran war refugees and former communist guerrillas in Little Seoul in 1985.

 

 In their early days, they were known as the Park View Lucasios or Park View Stoners and weren't different from the other Mara Salvatrucha Stoner gangs in the neighbourhood. They were known to attend heavy metal concerts and engage in small time drug dealing within the local marijuana trade. Throughout late nights, they were found smoking cigarettes, smoking marijuana and drinking light alcohol in and around Seoul Park.

 

 The Parkview Locos earliest rivalry is known to have been with Seoul Park 18, an Eighteenth Street gang set on the west side of Little Seoul which had a considerable amount of members who were Salvadoran, Guatemalan and Honduran war refugees, former communist guerrillas and socioeconomic immigrants.

 

 The feud between the Mara Salvatrucha Parkview Locos and Seoul Park 18 started after the July 23, 1989 public murder of Federico "Shaggy" Locayo, a former Salvadoran communist guerrilla and original founder of the Parkview Stoners.

 

 Federico got into an altercation with members of the 18th Street gang at a community barbecue party over their constant sexual harassment towards his Afro-Guatemalan girlfriend and their four year old child. Infuriated by their non-stop sexual harassment that had dragged on for many months, he confronted the four, heavily drunken Seoul  Park 18 gangbangers. In the heat of his nearly uncontrollable rage and their drunken stupors, they publicly shot him to death with handguns after he physically attacked them with a steel bar in front of a crowd of forty people on Palomino Avenue in Little Seoul.

 

 In the following weeks which dragged on well into the middle of September, the bodies of the four Seoul Park 18 members, one Mexican American, two Guatemalan and one Salvadoran, were generally found in Seoul Park in Little Seoul. They had been dismembered, disembowelled, decapitated and castrated with machetes. One of the victims had "MS" carved into his entire back with the machetes. Their heads and genitalia were not found.

 

 The feud between the Mara Salvatrucha and the Eighteenth Street gang would continue to rage on until 2000, when the Mexican Mafia (eMe) throughout Los Santos, as well as in the state and federal penal system, brought the two street gangs to a truce. While the Mara Salvatrucha and Eighteenth Street gang sets who are fiercely loyal to the Mexican Mafia obeyed and still obey this truce, renegade sets of both street gangs have blatantly ignored it and only nominally agreed to it. Intense fighting between the Mara Salvatrucha and Eighteenth Street gang's sets throughout South Central Los Santos, East Los Santos, the Murietta Valley, Chamberlain Hills, Little Seoul and the other suburban middle class neighborhoods of Western Los Santos has rocked the city for almost twenty years despite the Mexican Mafia's truce which is still in effect.

The Parkview Locos continued operating well into the 2000s and 2010s.

 

They remain active in Little Seoul to this day, though in recent years they have not been as plentiful and as forceful as they once were before.

 

 During the 2000s, acting largely on the Mexican Mafia's influence and less so on their own initiative, the Parkview Locos opened up their recruitment to non-Central Americans such as Latinos from Mexico and those who were Mexican Americans who identified with the Chicano subculture. This open acceptance of diversity within their rank and file have allowed them to have access to a larger recruitment pool over the years. In 2008, in a controversial move by both the Mexican Mafia and the shotcallers of the Parkview Locos, the set officially opened their recruitment for individuals of Caucasian American, African American and Asian American heritage. But, the Mexican Mafia reversed their decision in 2011 and ordered the Parkview Locos to remove all non-Latinos from their set. As a result, the non-Latino members were either jumped out, forced to leave Little Seoul in its entirety or were murdered for refusing to comply.

 

 The Parkview Locos are one of a small few Mara Salvatrucha sets within Los Santos to be loyal to the Mexican Mafia and to be against rape, sexual assault and child sexual molestation. While most other Mara Salvatrucha sets in Los Santos are renegades against the Mexican Mafia and lack any sort of moral code towards sex crimes and sexual abuse, the Parkview Locos are fiercely loyal to the Mexican Mafia and routinely barbarically murder rapists, sexual assailants and child molesters within their set and other Mara Salvatrucha sets if they are found out. This is not only due to the Mexican Mafia's unwavering influence over the Parkview Locos, but because of the morals of the shotcallers themselves. The original thirteen shotcallers which founded the Parkview Locos in 1985 were disgusted and horrified by the scenes of rape during the Salvadoran Civil War and the Guatemalan Civil War of the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. Two of the shotcallers themselves had been raped in an act of homosexual rape during the conflict in Guatemala and one of the original founders sisters had been brutally sodomized, raped and decapitated by an enlisted Salvadoran Army soldier during the conflict in El Salvador. Members of the Parkview Locos and other Mara Salvatrucha sets who have been discovered to be rapists, sexual assailants or child molesters have been brutally murdered with culinary and menial hand tools such as kitchen knives, butcher knives, cleaver knives, machetes and hacksaws. Subsequently, their bodies have been scattered across Little Seoul or other neighborhoods in order to send a strong message.

 

 Unlike other Mara Salvatrucha sets, the Parkview Locos do not recruit children. In order to join the Parkview Locos, an aspiring member must be at least thirteen years old. Children who lie about their age to get jumped into the set are jumped out upon being discovered and banned from ever joining again.

 

 The Parkview Locos are actively recruiting new members in local schools. They target the most vulnerable students for recruitment, such as those with attendance issues, those being bullied or the ones doing the bullying. They are very skilled with not only using psychological manipulation to entice these most vulnerable students to join, but are very good at getting them to divert their energy spent on meaningless pursuits to something which is made out to be meaningful such as committing crime on behalf of the set.

 

 The Parkview Locos also recruit young men and young women in their early twenties for membership in the set, which is not very common, considering most youths join street gangs in their childhood and adolescence. Many dissatisfied young men and young women who are locals of the district or are recent immigrants from Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua are actively recruited into the set. While this is unique and innovative in theory, it continues to bring about authority problems within the set due to the twenty somethings members disliking the fact that they have to report to and work for the set's higher ranking members who are still in their mid to late teens.

 

 The Parkview Locos are primarily involved in larger scale firearms trafficking and narcotics trafficking within Little Seoul. They routinely sell handguns, submachine guns, assault rifles and shotguns to members of friendly Mara Salvatrucha sets, other street gang members and the local populace. The drugs which are typically sold by the set include marijuana, LSD, PCP, crack cocaine, methamphetamine and heroin. Other crimes which are more individually initiated such as robberies, armed robberies, car thefts, burglaries, hijackings and extortions of local privately owned small businesses are left up to the gang member's own discretion with the exception of extortion. If a member is to extort a local privately owned small business, they are to kick up any given percentage of their earnings to the appropriate shotcaller or middleman.

 

 Due to the vicious barbarity yet reasonable moral code of the Parkview Locos, they are one of the Mexican Mafia's favorite sets to call upon in order to carry out hits of rival street gang members, organized crime group members as well as more high profile assassinations of public officials and law enforcement personnel in the streets. These hits and higher profile assassinations typically occur within the urban and rural areas of Southern San Andreas but a smaller number of them have taken place in Northern San Andreas and as far away as Florida, but out-of-state hits and assassinations remain fairly rare. People who are murdered and assassinated by members of the Parkview Locos on the Mexican Mafia's orders have often been hacked to death with knives, machetes or hacksaws, or have been bludgeoned to death with blunt objects such as baseball bats, steel poles, planks of wood and golf clubs. The remains of their dead bodies have been found discarded strewn across public parks or found enclosed in garbage bags or body bags in alleyways, dumpsters and on side streets.

 

 The Parkview Locos have been in contact and have done black market dealings with other street gangs such as friendly Mara Salvatrucha sets, the Eighteenth Street gang, the Sureños, the Maravilla, the Bloods and the Crips. They have been used as muscle for Mexican Mafia dealings with organized crime groups such as the dysfunctional remnants of the Petrulli crime family and outlaw biker gangs, along with foreign criminal organizations since the early 2000s.

LOS SANTOS TIMES. JUNE 16, 2017.
Glen_Park_crime_scene.png

 

 A 55 gallon oil drum was found by construction workers who were working on a home demolition of an abandoned house and former drug den located in Little Seoul, Westside Los Santos.

 

 The 55 gallon oil drum, which turned out to be a gruesome discovery, was found in the basement of the abandoned house by workers from Iron Strong Construction, a West Los Santos based construction company.

 

 At first, the workers thought that the 55 gallon oil drum was heavy because it contained motor oil. Upon further investigation, however, the workers pryed the sealed top off of the drum and found the rotten remains of an undisclosed number of deceased persons. The remains consisted of limbs; arms, legs, hands and feet and were in badly decomposing states.

 

 The Los Santos Police Department were called to the scene at 11:06 AM and arrived at 11:13. The construction workers were sent home for the day while the police set up a crime scene investigation at the home demolition site. The police remained at the crime scene throughout the remainder of the day.

These events occured on June 15, 2017.

 

 The house in question was condemned by the Los Santos Housing Authority on April 19, 2006 due to the high amount of squatters, local drunks and hard drug addicts who illegally resided on the property and within the house. Despite it's offically condemned status, the same people continued to use the property as a temporary residence; several dozen arrests of squatters have taken place at the residence for trespassing since early 20

 

 07. No demolition plans were made until August 2015, and it wasn't until June 14, 2017 that they got underway through clearing old debris and junk from the house.

Iron Strong Construction was contracted to assist in the demolition of the house, along with the Los Santos Public Works.

 

 The police have not yet disclosed any details on how the dismembered body parts ended up in the 55 gallon oil drum, and nor have they released any information on the victims or potential suspects. The case is currently being treated as a homicide investigation by the Los Santos Police Department's Gang and Narcotics Division, who have stated in a brief public press release that they're treating this incident as street gang related violence.

 

 The Los Santos Police Department's Gang and Narcotics Division are urging members of the general public to contact Los Santos CrimeStoppers at 216-874-3284 or the LSPD's anonymous tipline at 216-983-1543.

 

This is a continuation of the Mara Salvatrucha legacy on this server, thus, we've included the already written Mara Salvatrucha history in our thread, along with an updated history for the Parkview Locos.

 We aim to show a realistic portrayal of an MS-13 clique known as the Parkview Locos, which is heavily based on the real Parkview Locos clique in the area of Korea Town, Los Angeles. We are in no way role-playing a racist MS-13 gang, considering the diversity of ethnics Little Seoul can hold, Mexicans and Asians have a chance in joining the faction, also Caucasians and other ethnics where culturally indoctrinated.

Recruitment is done In Character.

 Upon joining this faction you already give a Character Kill permission to the leaders of this faction, therefore you can be Character Killed whenever deemed necessary.

 If you need instructions on how to role-play with the faction, feel free to PM either @Uriz or @Max3, we are more than glad to help.

 Constructive criticism is highly appreciated, if you have any suggestions to help the faction improve, feel free to PM either @Uriz or @Max3 and we will get to you as soon as possible.

Big thanks to El Ghetto man for helping with the updated thread.
