MARA SALVATRUCHA IN HISTORY
Mara Salvatrucha (MS, MS13 and or MS - 13) is a predominantly Salvadoran street gang and transnational criminal organization which originated in Los Santos, San Andreas throughout the 1980s and 1990s.

 

It was in the lower income and working class, predominately Mexican American and Korean American neighbourhood of Little Seoul within Westside Los Santos that the first Mara Salvatrucha clique started.

 

Salvadoran families that fled El Salvador for Los Santos during the Salvadoran Civil War of 1978 - 1992 mainly settled throughout Westside Los and especially Little Seoul. Throughout the early 1980s, the type of immigration from El Salvador changed as entire family units became uncommon, while military aged young men and young women began legally and illegally immigrating as refugees to all major cities and counties of San Andreas. The vast majority of these families and young war refugees settled in Los Santos, specifically the Westside, but a considerably sized minority thinly spread out to other regions of the state such as Blaine County,, San Fierro and Las Venturas.

 

Within Westside Los Santos, these families, young men and young women predominately settled within Little Seoul, Vinewood and Chamberlain Hills and were forced to live within the age-old Mexican American and African American slums. Both the Chicano and Korean communities vehemently rejected their attempts at assimilating into them, so they were forced to create their own Salvadoran themed barrios throughout all of the Westside neighborhoods. In 1984, the first Salvadoran barrio on the west coast of the U.S. was founded in Seoul International Park on what is now the corner of Ginger Street and South Rockford Drive; the original founders and locals called it Santa Ana Park. 

 

While the vast majority of these Salvadoran families and war refugees to the Westside were hard working and eventually willing to assimilate into American society, a considerable minority were not and formed their own street gangs, nominally in order to protect the Salvadoran immigrant community's interests. These Salvadoran immigrant street gangs, collectively called the Mara Salvatrucha Stoners or Maras for short, began within Little Seoul circa 1985 and were originally focused on selling marijuana, consuming soft and psychedelic drugs, as well as attending local punk rock concerts in which the street gang's classic subculture was originally founded upon. They also acted as an informal protection force for the Salvadoran immigrants throughout Westside Los Santos who had came under bigotry, prejudice and other forms of discrimination from local Mexican immigrants, Mexican Americans and African Americans. The Salvadoran immigrants who lived within the Salvadoran barrios of Westside Los had deeply instilled feelings of distrust towards law enforcement and the municipal and state governments, so a considerable majority of them relied on the Mara Salvatrucha Stoners for protection, as well as personal, financial and logistic necessities as opposed to the police and municipal + state government for such things.

 

Circa 1987, the Mara Salvatrucha Stoners began to fight locally well established Chicano and African American street gangs such as the Sureños, 18th Street gang, the Bloods and the Crips over percieved betrayals as well as drug turf. The Mara Salvatrucha's members, the vast majority of whom had insurgency and counter-insurgency training from fighting on both sides of the Salvadoran Civil War, brought the level of violence from El Salvador's civil war to the streets of Westside Los when fighting their rivals. Extreme levels of horrific barbarism were brought to the streets of Westside Los, where their rivals from Chicano and black gangs were publicly tortured, raped and murdered in the streets, a lot of times during broad daylight. Eventually, during the early 1990s, these Salvadoran street gang members began targeting innocent members of their own ethnocentric communities, thus losing their original purpose as a protection force. At the same time, innocent people from all races and ethnic groups were also targeted for being horifically tortured, raped and murdered in the streets.

 

Throughout the entirety of the 1990s, the Mara Salvatrucha began recruiting other ethnicites from Central America into their ranks such as Guatemalans, Hondurans, Nicaraguans, Costa Ricans and Panamanians. Members of the Sureños and 18th Street gang who were Central American immigrants from multiple countries began defecting to the Mara Salvatrucha in mass amounts when it opened its ranks to immigrants and war refugees from all Spanish-speaking Central American countries. Also during the 1990s, the Salvadorans along with Guatemalans, Hondurans, Nicaraguans, Costa Ricans and Panamanians from Westside Los began migrating into the Murietta Valley, South Central Los Santos as well as the middle class and upper middle class suburban neighborhoods of Westside Los Santos. A considerable minority of these inter-city migrants established street gangs of the Mara Salvatrucha throughout these new regions of Los Santos.

When the interethnic and inter-racial clashes of the 1980s and the 1990s gradually came to an end between the years of 1996 and 1999, the Mara Salvatrucha were no longer disorganized street gangs of Salvadoran immigrant criminals who identified with punk rock culture and a strong pride in fiercly guarding their ethnic communities. They were a new and vicious breed of street gang who were feared throughout the city's impoverished districts and slums, as well as middle class suburbs, for their cold blooded approach to crime. It was during this time period that the Mexican Mafia (eMe) met with Mara Salvatrucha shotcallers in the streets and brought them under the umbrella of Latino gangs in all of San Andreas. The shotcallers from the Mara Salvatrucha agreed to the Mexican Mafia's demands and officially added 13 to their street gang's name, thus making them the Mara Salvatrucha 13 (MS, MS13 and/or MS - 13).

 

Over an approximately 10 year period from 1999 to 2009, many original members of the Mara Salvatrucha street gangs of Los Santos spread across San Andreas in order to set up shop elsewhere. They also migrated out of San Andreas in order to evade law enforcement prosecution. They mostly settled in the newly forming Salvadoran and Central American communities of the Southwest, Deep South and Northeast regions of the United States. Thus, the first out-of-state street gangs Mara Salvatrucha were formed by these inter-country migrants. It was also during this 10 year long period that the Mara Salvatrucha opened their ranks to Mexican immigrants and Mexican Americans across the country, as well as people of South American and Caribbean ethnic stock. When these immigrant street gang members were deported to their home countries of origin, they either came back to the United States through illegal means or started street gangs of the Mara Salvatrucha 13 throughout Mexico and Central America.

 

The Mara Salvatrucha 13 as of 2017 are well documented as thriving in the continental United States, Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras. Their presence within Nicaragua is powerful but is not very prevalent as it is within other Latin American countries in the Northern Hemisphere. They have little to no influence within the criminal underworlds and mainstream societies of Costa Rica and Panama.

 

The Mara Salvatrucha 13 has been proven to have members within the United States Armed Forces, the Mexican Armed Forces, multiple paramilitary organizations in Mexico and the militaries of Central America. Some members of the Mara Salvatrucha 13 who are wanted by police in any given region of Mexico have joined the ranks of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation, a Marxist paramilitary organization, located in Chiapas in order to avoid prosecution and potential prison time.

THE MARA SALVATRUCHA TODAY
The Mara Salvatrucha street gang in Los Santos maintain strongholds throughout South Central Los Santos and Westside Los Santos. They're active elsewhere in San Andreas within places such as Blaine County, San Fierro and Las Venturas.

 

Within Los Santos, they are in regular conflict with their rivals from the Sureños, Eighteenth Street gang, the East Los Maravilla, the Bloods and the Crips. While they have had past conflict with other street gangs and criminal organizations such as the Asian Boyz, Wah Ching, the Tiny Raskal Gang, Public Enemy Number 1 and the Nazi Lowriders, among many others, they are not considered main rivals. 

 

For the most part, the Mara Salvatrucha in Los Santos are only liked by themselves and friendly towards each other. All other gangs throughout Los Santos are either indifferent towards them or they're hated as well as despised. The Salvadoran and Salvadoran American communities, as well as the ethnic communities of other Central American immigrants, have publicly disavowed the Mara Salvatrucha 13 transnational criminal organization through official mediums such as private immigration aide programs and community projects.

 

In other regions of the United States such as the Southwest, Deep South and Northeast, they're always at war with local street gangs within the aforementioned regions as well as the Bloods, Crips, Latin Kings, Trinitarios, Dominicans Don't Play and the Zoe Pound gang, among many others. In states where the Mexican Mafia has no presence in private, state and federal prisons, they have fallen victim to being beaten, stabbed, sexually assaulted, raped and murdered by their incarcerated rivals, as well as other Latino American prison-based criminal organizations such as the Association Ñeta.

 

While the Mara Salvatrucha do focus their efforts on terrorizing their rivals, they're also very focused on terrorizing and traumatizing innocent people with little to no involvement with street gangs or other criminal activity. Innocent people have been horrifically sexually assaulted, raped, tortured and murdered by members of the street gang in public places and private dwellings for little to no rational reasons at all.

 

The Mara Salvatrucha street gang and transnational criminal organization's primary source of income in Los Santos and the rest of the country is derived from criminal activities which include but are not limited to: drug dealing, gun dealing, mass narcotics distribution, mass firearm distribution, extortion, hijacking, automotive vehicle theft, stolen auto exports, contract killing, human trafficking, sex trafficking and organ trafficking.

 

The Mara Salvatrucha are notorious for their barbaric brutality in their diabolical personal pleasures. Its members are infamous for their usage of knives, machetes and hatchets to physically attack, murder, dismember, decapitate, castrate and disembowel their rivals as well as innocent people in broad public. They are feared throughout the communities in which they operate in for their involvement in sexually assaulting and raping both men and women but mostly the latter out in public places such as in the streets, alleyways, housing projects, apartment buildings, motels, hotels as well as in both privately and publicly owned businesses. However, some do not fear the Mara Salvatrucha but instead hate and despise it. This is shown by how members of the Mara Salvatrucha, over time and into the present have been beaten, stabbed, sexually assaulted, raped and murdered in the private, state and federal prison systems by their incarcerated rivals.

Throughout Mexico, the Mara Salvatrucha are contracted by Mexican drug cartels as muscle for their efforts during the ongoing Mexican Drug War against the Mexican government, law enforcement and military. These Mara Salvatrucha members who act as muscle for the Mexican drug cartels go out of their way to be as bloody and barbaric as possible. Horror beyond what was seen in Los Santos in the 1980s and 1990s and what continues to be seen for that matter is created by Mara Salvatrucha members acting on behalf of drug cartels in Mexico.

 

The Mara Salvatrucha in Central America are mainly confined to the countries of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador. While federal, regional and municipal law enforcement agencies throughout Belize, Costa Rica and Panama have documented members of the Mara Salvatrucha who were residing and criminally operating within their countries, their presence as far as organization goes is negligible. The transnational criminal organization has been documented in other North American countries such as Canada, where a street gang of the Mara Salvatrucha 13 was dismantled by the Toronto Police Service circa 2008 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. They are also alleged to be criminally operating in multiple European Union countries such as Spain, France and Italy, though this is largely unconfirmed and poorly documented.

THE FIGUEROA LOCOS CLIQUE
24ece6c9fb53627e255558aec7db5136.gif
The Mara Salvatrucha Figueroa Locos (MS FLS) are a small and tight knit clique of the Mara Salvatrucha 13 transnational criminal organization located in the slum of Little Seoul, Southwest Los Santos. The clique is a fairly new clique of the Mara Salvatrucha 13, having been founded by Salvadoran, Guatemalan and Honduran immigrants in 2002. Ever since its founding, it has gone from being a ragtag and disorganized street gang centered on making money through the sale of illicit narcotics and stolen/illegally modified firearms to being a small organized Mara Salvatrucha clique

 

The Mara Salvatrucha Figueroa Locos were one of the original subsets of the Western Loco Salvatruchos, founded by impoverished and illegal socioeconomic immigrants from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras in 1998. Over time, the clique grew out and began recruiting Mexican immigrants and Mexican Americans from Little Seoul, thus making it the first multi-ethnic clique of the Western Locos Salvatruchos. 

 

In 2002, four years after its founding, the Figueroa Locos broke away from the Western Locos due to being disaffected by the latter's pro-rape and pro-sexual abuse stance to criminal activity. This caused a bloody, seven month long civil war within the Western Locos and ultimately led to the street gang's total demise. While the Figueroa Locos reigned supreme, they also faced new enemies such as the Playboys 13, 86 Mafia Crip, Black P Stones and the last active remnants of the 18th Street Decker Park Locos (18DPLS) over a dozen years. The street gang, over this twelve year long period, fuelled their street wars through their illicit narcotics and firearm dealing business.

 

Despite the renaming of several Little Seoul streets in order to curb the MS-13 and Sureno gang influence in the neighborhood, the Figueroa Locos continue to operate in the same neighborhood that they originally started in, close to the Seoul International Park on Ginger Street and South Rockford Drive. (Formerly Figueroa Ave and 8th Street)

 

The clique is currently headed by Salvadoran Americans and immigrants from El Salvador who are in their late teens to mid 20s. The lower echelons of the street gang are comprised of youths in Little Seoul who's ancestral origins primarily come from the Central American countries of El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. Though, despite the membership being geared towards Central American youths, immigrants from Mexico and Mexican Americans who identify as Chicanos are reluctantly accepted into the set.

 

The Figueroa Locos are active in recruiting members in the same way that other Mara Salvatrucha 13 sets do. They make regular use of public and private schools in Little Seoul and surrounding neighbourhoods in order to either recruit new members or force people to join the set. Most people who are either recruited into the set or forced into it range from the ages of 12 - 19. Parents of the older children and teenagers who are recruited or forced into the gang are intimidated and bullied, often by their own kids themselves, into silence under the threat of physical violence or death.

 

The set is known to recruit members from elementary schools, playground zones and youth sports clubs who are as young as 8 years old. These children as young as 8 have been sent and are routinely sent on violent missions, ostensibly in order to be initiated into the set. All children who have been sent on violent missions for the set were, in reality, only used for cannon fodder so that older members of the set who were teenagers or young adults would not get critically injured or murdered. Most children used on these violent missions have died and continue to die when being sent on them.

 

The Figueroa Locos' main source of revenue in Little Seoul is derived from the neighbourhood's drug trade and extortion rings that the late shotcaller Jose "Ghost" Zelaya set up during his reign in the set which began in the summer of 2016. Additional crimes that individuals or social groups within the set pursue for money include gun dealing, armed robberies, hijackings, robberies and muggings. Crimes for personal pleasure that the set pursues involve attempted murder, murder and rape. Members of the set, male and female, are known to engage in attempting to murder, murdering and raping random people for personal pleasure and/or because they view it as being completely normal. This, combined with the set's own criminal pursuits, has led to the set garnering a very daunting reputation in Little Seoul and in surrounding neighbourhoods. Locals of South Central have often called it the most barbarically sadistic street gang to surface in the region in decades.

 

The Figueroa Locos maintain very strong and friendly ties with all other Mara Salvatrucha 13 clicks in all regions of Los Santos. They maintain links with their original founders who are currently living in Tijuana, Mexico. Their enemies consist of local gangs which include but are not limited to: the Calais 14th Street, the Drifters 13 Palomino Locos (DFS13PLS), the Oriental Lazy Boyz (OLBZ), Playboy Surenos 13 (PBS13), the 18th Street Decker Park Locos (DPLS) and the 85 Mafia Crip. The set in particular considers all non Mara Salvatrucha 13 sets to be their sworn enemies and this had led to their alienation and antagonising by all street gangs in the city who are not a part of Mara Salvatrucha 13.



MAJOR EVENTS


THE AUGUST 23, 1996 YEREVAN NIGHTS NIGHTCLUB SHOOTING
At 11 PM on August 23, 1996 a group of five Mara Salvatrucha 13 members arrived at the Yerevan Nights nightclub in the Little Armenia quarter of Vinewood.

 

The five Mara Salvatrucha members had been partying throughout the night and were drunk on hard liquor and stoned on marijuana when they arrived at the nightclub. Due to their current intoxication, they were refused entry into the club by the Armenian bouncers, who hardly spoke any English. This language barrier was taken as an insult by the Mara Salvatrucha members, who mistakenly shouted anti-Indian slurs at the nightclub bouncers while simultaneously starting a scuffle.

 

Pushes became violent shoves and eventually fists were thrown. The four bouncers outside of the nightclub were overwhelmed at first but the crowd gathered outside of the nightclub who were all waiting to enter helped the effort of the four bouncers. This abruptly became tragedy when two members of the Mara Salvatrucha gang drew pistols from their jackets and opened fire into the crowd at close range, instantly striking many members of it. Two of the bouncers drew pistols of their own and returned fire but did not strike the Mara Salvatrucha members, as they were absorbed in the crowd. The two Mara Salvatrucha members who had pistols beat and shot their way through the crowd before indiscriminately firing into it. Return fire from bouncers was ineffective and the two Mara Salvatrucha members fled unscathed in a pickup truck. The rest of the Mara Salvatrucha members escaped, except for a member who was beaten, knocked unconscious and trampled all over by the crowd.

When the ten minutes of chaos had ended, 6 people lay dead and 17 were critically injured, making it one of the worst shootings in Vinewood and surrounding areas in 13 years.

 

On scene, the Los Santos Police Department arrested Rodney Vallejo, 24 of Little Seoul. He was hospitalized under the custody of police before being placed in a pre-trial detention annex of the Los Santos County Jail because of his extreme injuries suffered when he was horribly beaten by the crowd.

Peter Fuente, 18 of Vinewood Locos, Alejando Villanova, 20 of Adams Locos and Andres Gramajo, 16 of Figueroa Locos fled on foot and were all arrested by the Los Santos Police Department together while hiding in a dumpster in the Vinewood neighborhood at 5 AM on August 24, 1986.

Andrew Perez, 21 of Chamberlain Hills and Ronald Ortiz, 23 of Vinewood were both arrested by the San Andreas Sheriff's Department while in hiding on a derelict farm in the Murietta Valley in the east of Los Santos County on November 9, 1986. They had been living in abandoned barns and a farmhouse on the derelict farm for months and were living off of bottled water and canned food which had been stolen from grocery stores in the Chumash and Paleto Bay areas. They were discovered living in hiding in deplorable conditions after several dozen local farmers reported them to police in unison.

Rodney Vallejo was tried, convicted and sentenced to five years to life in prison for his role as an accomplice in the deadly shooting.

Peter Fuente was tried, convicted and sentenced to ten years to life in prison for his role as an accomplice in the deadly shooting.

Andrew Perez and Ronald Ortiz were both tried, convicted and sentenced to life in prison without the chance of parole for their roles as the gunmen in the shooting.

 

Alejandro Villanova and Andres Gramajo were both tried, convicted and sentenced to ten years to life in prison for their roles as accomplices in the deadly shooting.

 

All of these men entered the San Andreas penal system in 1989 after a frenzied trial rocked the city.

 

Rodney Vallejo was released from state prison in 2002 after serving 13 years behind bars, age 39.

 

Peter Fuente was released from state prison in 2006 after serving 17 years behind bars, age 38.

 

Andrew Perez was stabbed to death during the maximum security Diamond Ridge State Prison's riot on December 28 - 30, 1996, age 31.

Ronald Ortiz died from cancer while incarcerated in 2009, age 46.

 

Alejandro Villanova and Andres Gramajo were released from incarceration in 1999 after serving 10 years behind bars. Two months after their release from incarceration, they were deported to their native Guatemala, ages 33 and 29..



THE MARCH 6, 2012 LITTLE SEOUL SHOOTING
mareros13.png
At 2 AM on March 6, 2012 two recently initiated members of the Figueroa Locos clique of the MS13 were driving through Little Seoul in a 2007 Nissan Sentra sedan after they had stopped in the community to purchase cigarettes, alcohol and imported food from Korea at a 24 hour convenience store. 

 

During their nighttime drive, one 2009 Toyota Corolla and one 1996 Chevrolet Monte Carlo began tailing them before driving around erratically in the road around the gangbangers 2007 Nissan Sentra. 

 

Eventually, the 2009 Toyota Corolla and 1996 Chevrolet Monte Carlo came to a stop in front and behind of the 2007 Nissan Sentra, respectively. The passenger in the 2009 Toyota Corolla rolled down the window and flashed gang signs which were known to be used by members of the Crips. Upon seeing this, the two gangbangers from the MS-13 spoke for a matter of two minutes before abruptly leaving their vehicles with handguns drawn. They charged the cars and shot everybody inside of them before fleeing the scene in a rush.

 

James Penagos, 19 of Lindsay Circus and Ricardo Enamorado, 17 of Ginger Street were arrested three months later while found living in hiding in the Rancho neighborhood of Southeast Los Santos. They were living in a rodent and insect infested housing project unit which had been abandoned since 2006. They had been living off of bottled water, junk food snacks and fast food which was purchased from local conveniences stores and restaurants in the neighborhood.

 

James Penagos was tried, convicted and sentenced to life in prison without the chance of parole for 25 years for his role in the murder of Gerald Bower, 21 of Vinewood and the attempted murder of Joseph Tiruma, 20 of Chumash. Ricardo Enamorado was deported to his native Honduras for the murder of Devon Hamelin, 23 of Rockford Hills and attempted murder of Caleb Pratt, 18 of Chumash.

 

James Penagos was a native of the Little Seoul neighbourhood and had joined the Mara Salvatrucha while attending Little Seoul Central High School as a 17 year old in 2010 but was not formally initiated until sometime in 2012. Ricardo Enamorado was an illegal immigrant from Honduras who came to Southwest Los Santos from his native country as a 14 year old with his 17 year old sister in 2009.

 

Gerald Bower, Joseph Tiruma, Devon Hamelin and Caleb Pratt were all college students attending the University of Southern San Andreas in the Alta neighbourhood of Central Los Santos. 

 

On the night before their murders and attempted killings, they got drunk and high on marijuana at a house party in Vinewood, hosted by friends of theirs who were attending the local college. They went for a drive in Little Seoulin order to take their partying to the road. They were killed and severely injured by members of the Mara Salvatrucha after the gang signs that one of the men flashed out of the window was mistaken for membership to the Crips.

Joseph Tiruma and Caleb Pratt have lived in assisted living care homes since that fateful night, where they remain in vegetative states due to extreme brain, bodily and psychological damage from being shot in the chest and face multiple times.

 

On September 16, 2016 Ricardo Enamorado was reported missing to Honduran police by his girlfriend in his birthplace of Yoro, Honduras. 

 

On February 20, 2017 Honduran police in the town of El Progeso declared in a press release to the public that a dismembered and disemboweled body was found strewn around in an alleyway in one of the town's poorest slums. Through dental records, it was identified as the body of 21 year old Ricardo Enamorado. The Honduran police attributed his death to street gang warfare between unspecified rival gangs..



THE 2014 CHO FAMILY MURDERS
Cho_Family.png
At 10 PM on August 7, 2014, 5 members of 46 year old Gerard Cho's family that included himself, his 51 year old wife, his wife's 47 year old brother and their two 13 and 17 year old teenage sons were on their way home to the Sunshine Apartments from a family barbecue and monthly get-together at the local park. While on foot, they were approached by a group of 8 Figueroa Locos members in the streets on South Rockford Drive. They were quickly hassled and confronted about their alleged ties to the local street gang, the Oriental Lazy Boyz (OLBz). The Cho family, who were small business owners who had owned their own restaurant in the neighborhood since 1986, vehemently denied that they belonged to a street gang. The confrontation turned into a physical confrontation when the Figueroa Locos members initiated pushing and shoving matches against the Cho family members and they started pushing and shoving back in self defense. Punches, kicks and headbutts were thrown and a scuffle broke out.

 

The scuffle was abruptly ended in a very unexpectedly shocking way. 3 out of 8 Figueroa Locos members, who were hammered on hard liquor and high on PCP, took handguns out and from their clothing and shot all members of the Cho family at point blank range. Gerard Cho, his wife, his wife's brother and his 17 year old son were hit with .32 caliber and .45 caliber live rounds multiple times and killed. His 13 year old son was thought to be dead and was left to bleed out in the street. Local residents who witnessed the shooting from afar phoned the Los Santos Police Department and the Los Santos Fire Department to the scene, who pronounced all Cho family members dead except for the 13 year old boy. The 13 year old boy is, as of 2017, permanently paralyzed from the neck down and remains wheel chair bound and bedridden.

 

2 out of the 3 gunmen were apprehended by the Los Santos Police Department and are currently awaiting trial with the expectation that they will spend the rest of their lives in a San Andreas state prison. The last gunman fled San Andreas a week after the murders and made his way half-way across the United States to Tennessee over a month's period. He carried out the armed robbery of a 7/11 convenience store in rural Cumberland County, Tennessee and was reported to the police by the staff there. After evading county law enforcement, the Tennessee Highway Patrol pursued him down the Interstate, where he opened fire on them with a carbine rifle while speeding down the highway. The state troopers eventually caught up to him 25 minutes after they began their pursuit, where he was rammed off of the road and into a ditch. He was shot over 60 times in his car with handguns and shotguns, where was instantly killed. The last 5 members of the Figueroa Locos involved in the Cho family murders are all currently incarcerated on sentences which range from 5 years to life for being accomplices to the murders and near fatal shooting of the Cho family's 13 year old son.

W/S Mara Salvatrucha is a street gang faction with a community esque atmosphere. We intend to provide the community with a realistic portrayal of the Mara Salvatrucha (MS13) street gang which operates in the Koreatown, Westlake and Vinewood neighborhoods of Western Los Angeles.  We currently aim to portray a close-to-defunct Mara Salvatrucha clique known as the Fremont Locos (FLS). The clique is heavily based off of the Francis Locos and the Normandie Locos (NLS) which actively operate on the southern part of Koreatown in Los Angeles.

 

Although the gang's membership is strictly limited to Salvadorans and other Central American nationalities, due to Little Seoul's multi ethnic population, Asian and Mexican members can sometimes be accepted into the gang's ranks. Keep in mind that it's highly recommended that you consider what you want to roleplay within the faction aswell as what your aspirations are within the faction LONG before you actually create your character. Character portrayal is currently a huge thing within the faction and banged out gangbangers who show up on day one asking for weapons and drugs are going to be turned away. Development is key.

 

 Recruitment is done entirely ICly. We reserve the right to character kill you from the moment you get initiated into the gang ICly.

 

We have a discord channel that we use to communicate amongst eachother. Feel free to join if you want to learn more about the faction or ask questions. https://discord.gg/wgknUTY
