The Varrio Harpys gang (HPS) also known as Harpys 13 or Varrio Harpys, is a predominantly Hispanic street gang operating in the area of Grove street in the Western side of South Central Los Santos city. This group of teenagers have been known to terrorize the city for years now with their turf neighborhood stretching all the way from Chamberlain’s gas station to the cul-de-sac at the end of Grove Street. For these young gangsters the gang lifestyle was their way to put food on the plate for their families. This group soon adopted to the gang-banging lifestyle in it’s fullest, taking advantage of the already increasing crime rate in the city of Los Santos to make a name for themselves. The gang’s main revenue is from the street level distribution of narcotics such as Marijuana, Cocaine, Heroin and Methamphetamine. While petty crimes make up the majority of the gang’s criminal activity, the gang is no stranger to much more serious crimes such as grand theft auto, burglary, armed robbery, small scale business racketeering, and even murder.
 

GROVE STREET

Grove street, what's often referred to as the heart of the ghetto. This neighborhood has never been a stranger to criminal activity. As a poverty stricken area, the neighborhood has always made the environment perfect for gang recruitment, targeting teenagers who lacked a sense of a larger meaning, making it one of the highest crime rate neighborhoods in the vicinity. With a wide range of crimes taking place ranging from armed theft to homicides, this area has never been the safest place to live. With the broad variety of cultures comes a wider selection of street gangs claiming the streets. Most of these gangs were Afro-American or Hispanic cliques. One of the most notorious Hispanic street gangs to ever operate in the area claimed the name The Ghetto Boyz 27th, previously known as Ghetto Boyz 13 before their feud with the Mexican Mafia which has eventually led to their fallout.
 

“It is always someone getting shot down, or getting shot at, every night is a fight in the ghetto. You could hear bullets all night every night, police sirens all over the place, people getting arrested and bystanders scared out of their goddamn minds! I guess that’s how it goes, there’s always something going down in the ghetto.” 
- Grove Street resident Isabella Tineo in a Weazel News interview.

 

Throughout the years, Grove Street has been attracting the eyes of the Police Department. With  more than ten cruisers driving by on a daily basis it still wasn't enough. The young gangsters always found their own ways to slip through the cracks, creating new methods to continue their operations. These gangsters have showed little hesitation to do what they were asked to protect their groups while breaking the laws and causing trouble to spread terror all across the city on their way to "prove" themselves for which gang they belonged to. With the widespread gang activity starting from the Gas station and finishing just at the cul-de-sac, the street gangs began expanding operations into Chamberlain Hills. It was the time for the Police Department to make a move. A series of Tactical operations led by the Los Santos Police Department took place from the nineties to the early twenties, bringing most gangs defunct with the end goal of stopping many of the dangerous crime organizations from continuing operation in these neighborhoods.

Despite all of the tactical operations the Los Santos Police Department has been carrying on, the gangs failed to leave the streets. On each day, teenagers in the area were still inspired to join gangs, finding their own ways to represent the gangs they grew up idolizing and pushing their shot callers agendas on the streets, and often times from inside the prison. This was the birth of a new generation of street gangsters.

VARRIO HARPYS 13

The roots of the Harpys can be traced back into the early 1960s when a group of teenage immigrants decided to make a name for themselves among the surrounding gangs in the area. The gang took their name from the Harpy Eagle, an animal that symbolizes power. They frequently were seen wearing baseball team Houston Astro's merchandise as the team's logo is a large H. The Harpys unwillingly shared their turf with two other small gangs who were believed to be nothing but two local football clubs under the names of The Dead End and the Wild Bunch at the time. As years passed by the Harpys became more centralized and the gang increased in size, gaining its reputation for violence. During this time the feuds between the two football teams and other football teams in the area were escalating, eventually ending with the rivalries leaving the field.  Fights escalated between the two groups starting from low risk brawls, and quickly evolved into stabbings and eventually shootings. The public was quick to realize that the groups were no longer just football clubs and gang units marked both clubs down as their own gangs, noting their rivalries.  

As Harpys continued to grow and became stronger with each day. During this period, the feud between the two local football clubs and other clubs in the region was turning into a bloodshed, leading in the death of many members from both the Dead End and the Wild Bunch's cliques. The result was for both of the small gangs to emerge into a single, unified Harpys gang in order to strengthen themselves and beef up their numbers. Around the mid seventies, the Varrio Harpys added the number 13 to the end of their name, a representation to a gang's allegiance to the Mexican Mafia, otherwise known as La eMe. On September 6, 1980, three members of 18th Street were shot to death by members of the Harpys, giving birth to a long term war between the two sets. The constant warring consisted of a number of shootings, most of which ended in a death. The beef still stands to this day as a peace hasn't been reached between the two.

By the nineties, the Harpys ruled a large part of the ghetto, dominating their turf that stretches from Grove gas station to the cul-de-sac at the end of Grove Street. The gang quickly put themselves on the map as one of the most dangerous gangs in South Central. The gang dominated the drug and weapons trade in the region as well as extorted many of the local businesses. Throughout the years, the Harpys have succeeded to terrorize and extort small businesses in their neighborhoods to put food on their table eventually forcing stores in their neighborhoods to pay taxes so heavy many of them filed bankruptcy. The Harpys were quick to take control of these small markets and stole almost all of the income for themselves. The Harpys increased trafficking and extortion led to their spot on the list of the most dangerous street gangs in South Central during that time.

While the gang has continued to dominate the street level distribution of narcotics in their neighborhoods as well as keeping a tight grip on businesses with extortion, a few things set the Harpys different from their neighbors. They were surrounded by other well established street gangs and it was nearly impossible for the Harpys to expand over South Central. Instead of attempting to expand their turf the gang decided to keep a hold of it's current operations and making them as large as possible inside their own jurisdiction to bring in the profit they seeked.

By the early two thousands the Los Santos Police Department announced of a widespread series of anti-gang operations all over the city in their attempt to crack down on the street gangs.

On December 6, 2012, the Police Department carried out a tactical operation on Grove Street under the moniker Operation Roman Empire, a series of federal RICO indictments focused on connecting the Harpys to the Mexican Mafia. Although still the gang found ways to share it's leader's messages from inside the prison to the streets of Los Santos. The operation has eventually ended with the arrest of twenty nine (29) members of the Harpys who were convicted of multiple charges including possession of firearms, drugs, trafficking, extortion, and even murder. The successful operation led the Gang and Narcotics Division of the Police Department to further investigate the gang which eventually ended with several more arrests, bringing the gang defunct as there remained only few members on the street. Most of these members were young and unable to effectively lead the gang leading in the downfall of the Varrio Harpys.

During the absence of the Harpys, Grove street has witnessed the rise of various street gangs. One of the most recent gangs to operate in the area and call Grove street their home was the Ghetto Boyz, previously known as Ghetto Boyz 13 before their feud with the Mexican Mafia. The Ghetto Boyz succeeded in keeping a tight grip on Grove neighborhood, turning into one of the most notorious gangs in the city of Los Santos. The good days were quickly cut short. There are various stories about what happened and why the beef between the Ghetto Boyz and the Mexican Mafia started but throughout all the stories only one thing is consistent, the ending.  Some stories say the beef was ignited after a Camarada; An associate of the Mexican Mafia,  was shot in Chamberlain during an attack which was carried on by members of the Ghetto Boyz on Tortilla Flats 13 gang. The shooting of the Camarada was said to have led into the fracture between the Ghetto Boyz and the Mexican Mafia. 

Even days after the attack relations were not improving. On March 6, 2020, an Associate of the Mexican Mafia was killed under mysterious circumstances, the Camarada's body was found was shot to death in a dumpster somewhere outside Los Santos' county lines and the Ghetto Boyz to blame. The Mexican Mafia was bound to retaliate. The Ghetto Boyz were  greenlit, meaning they should be killed on sight. This has lead to a series of attacks carried on by multiple sets in the city against the Ghetto Boyz. As the "Boyz" were getting murdered around every corner of South Central, houses were turned into ashes. Eventually bringing Ghetto Boyz out of power.

The wipe of the green-lit gang was a chance for other gangs to take over the neighborhood. A group of youths collectively began operating in the area in the aftermath of the GBZ-eMe conflict as they saw an opportunity to reignite the flame of the gang they grew up idolizing. Adam Venegas, a twenty two year-old Hispanic male who was born and raised in Grove street was one of the few Harpys gang members to survive the mass arrests which took place right after Operation Roman Empire. Venegas has noticed the lack of gang presence around the neighborhood of Grove, and saw it an opportunity to re-claim the turf for the Harpys, bringing back the traditional Varrio Harpys lifestyle to its homeland. Along with creating his own circle of influence, Venegas, with the assistance of other Harpys gang members, such as Victor "Puppet" Ordonez and Felipe "Snoozy" Robledo, have succeeded to lure the young teenagers into their lifestyle. The trio would carry operations on their own. They quickly developed and dominated the politics inside the neighborhood while keeping a tight hold of the street level distribution of narcotics such as marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine, and MDMA. The trio was effectively setting up new operations but with the bad was inevitable.

March 14, 2020, local affiliate Felipe “Snoozy” Robledo’s lifeless body was discovered with multiple gunshot wounds after he deviated from his normal route home from Davis Highschool. Robledo was suspected to be buying a half ounce of cocaine when he was spotted by rival gang members who shot multiple times into the 16 year old’s figure. Robledo was declared dead when medics appeared to the scene.

TODAY'S HARPYS

The Harpys today are considered as one of the fastest growing street gangs in the streets of Los Santos, with multiple members securing their dominance in Grove street. Throughout the years the Harpys have been known to start feuds with other gangs in Los Santos including 18th Street and Easy RidersBoth of these rivalries turned into a long-term beef between the groups. A much smaller feud the Harpys have gotten themselves into was with street gang Sex for Money Krew, mainly due to their alliance with the 18th Street gang. Despite the Harpys gang being tied to the Mexican Mafia, the Harpys frequently beef with other Sureño cliques in South Central Los Santos like the Alley Tiny Criminals 13.

OOC:


We aim to provide the community with a realistic portrayal of a Sureño set, which goes under the name Varrio Dead End Harpys 13. The faction is heavily based on the real Harpys 13 gang which operates in the area of West Adams district of South Los Angeles, California. We are in no way portraying a racist Sureño set, hence why people from multiple ethnicities still got a chance within the faction rankings. 

Recruitment is done in-character, if you need any instructions on how to join a street gang, feel free to PM myself. Any OOC requests on joining the faction will be ignored; trolls and people who are unwilling to role-play will not be tolerated and will be immediately kicked from the faction.

By associating your character with this faction or posting a screenshot on the thread, the leadership of the faction holds the right to character-kill your character whenever deemed necessary, or convert any Player-kill into a character-kill if seen fit.
