    50s To The Dubs (History)

     

    The 52 Pueblo Bishop Bloods are a predominately African American street gang, formed in the Puebloq4otb6cd43y81.jpg?width=1282&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f7d825984b877f5fd5814afd7d0c7de819e834b0 Del Rio housing projects— a well-known community known as the “Low Bottoms.” Before the Blood identity was even established; they went by the “Pueblo Players” and were active since the 1950s. With the Low Bottoms being one of their main areas of display, they claimed much of the surrounding area their turf as well and migrated to other neighborhoods. Sometime throughout the 1970s, the Pueblo Bishops were formed and later on established close ties with the 92 (Nine-Deuce) Bishops. They went on and adopted the “Blood” moniker around 1978, eventually becoming known as the 52 Pueblo Bishop Bloods or Mid-City Gangsters. The Nine-Deuce Pueblos were formed after a member was shot by a rival Crip in 1972.

     

    Tony Bass was a black San Andreas activist, born in 1951. He came to prominence in Los Santos as deputy chairman of the national Black Panther Party during the late 1960s and became more known after almost getting beat to death by two on-duty police officers in Downtown Los Santos. Bass was a student from El Burro Heights who maintained an 84 average his senior year, and as a youth leader in a civil rights organization for colored people, successfully campaigned to have a non-segregated public park built in his hometown. When he joined the Los Santos Black Panther Party in 1968, he quickly gained a reputation as a powerful leader and a coalition builder across racial lines to fight police brutality and address poverty in Los Santos’ most neglected neighborhoods. 

     

    Bass was released from state prison in late 1983 after serving time for a staged armed robbery conviction put together by Mauricio “Mickey” Garcia, a known corrupt cop at the time. It was during his prison stint when he had his first run ins with members from the Five-Deuce Pueblos gang out of Strawberry. From holding voluntary speeches to help motivate the black youth and keep them out of prison, he began engaged with their day-to-day prison activities— eventually becoming a full-fledged Pueblo Bishop Blood under seasoned veteran Marcus “O.G. Big Blood” Daffney. Daffney’s a documented PBB gang member, serving decades in a Los Santos max facility over a double homicide. It was Daffney’s idea along with other PBB gang members to pressure Bass into starting his own Pueblo Bishop Bloods subset on the streets of East Los Santos, realizing that East Los’ drug market would boom in the near future. Soon after his 1983 release, Bass slowly descended into cocaine addiction and criminality. 

     

    Between 1984 and 1986, gang violence sparked by the Pueblo Bishop Bloods would grow, with them accounting for a majority of the approximately 128 gang-related murders throughout East Los Santos. The introduction of crack raised the stakes in gang activity, and by the year 1985, the murder rate increased by some 50% (via Los Santos Times).

     

    Just years after Bass hit the streets, he gained notoriety as a high-ranking Pueblo Bishop Bloods gang member and known crack dealer in El Burro Heights. As gangs became more aware of the new drug, they became more territorial as well and began pushing lines out of their jurisdiction to find new areas to distribute. By 1987, there were several gang wars going on in Los Santos, the most notable one being between the 52 Pueblo Bishop Bloods and 48 Gangster Crips in East LS.

     

    No Tramps Allowed (War With The 48 Gangster Crips)

     

    On February 8, 1988, at approximately 10:35 a.m., Tario Clay was talking with childhood friends, Raymond Tolbert and Tyzee Peterson, at a gas station in La Mesa. The three had been talking for roughly 5 to 10 minutes. Clay then went down the block to talk to a female who was standing on a corner across Capital Boulevard, going away from the gas station that was an apparent 48 Gangster Crips’ safe haven. The 48 Gangster Crips are a small street gang in La Mesa, whose territory is concentrated along Capital Boulevard and stretches from El Burro Heights past the Elysian Fields Freeway to La Mesa. After speaking briefly, Clay returned to the gas station down the street to talk to Tolbert and Peterson. A few minutes later an all-black vehicle approached. A male dressed in black jumped out and started firing a weapon. Clay fell to the ground and Tolbert ran inside the gas station to call the police. Neither Tolbert nor Peterson were injured. When police arrived, Tolbert described the shooter as very skinny and dark-skinned. He was wearing a black hoodie and had a red bandana tied around his mouth. Tolbert said he looked no older than 21.

     

    eYETuFM.pngTolbert did not think he could identify the shooter if he saw him again. Later, he failed to identify anyone from several photographic lineups. Police reviewed tapes from local surveillance cameras which were placed at different points around the perimeter of the shooting. In the tapes, a black Annis Pinnacle could be seen traveling north up Capital Boulevard before the shooting then traveling east after the shooting towards El Burro Heights.

     

    On July 6, 1988, Los Santos County Sheriff’s Sergeant Kyle Reynolds arrested Shantae Givens for a series of unrelated robberies. He interviewed her several times after her arrest. After discussing the robberies for which Givens was arrested, he asked her if she had any information about any other crimes. She then told him about the Clay shooting and said that JaKhel Hart was the shooter and Tony Bass drove the car used in the shooting. Tolbert described Hart to Reynolds the same way Givens did.

     

    On September 27, 1988, LSPD’s Tyler Ramirez was on patrol near the intersection of Strawberry Ave & Innocence Blvd when he saw an all-black Annis Pinnacle that looked like the vehicle involved in the February 8th shooting. He stopped the car and filled out field identification cards for the driver, Bass, and his two passengers. They all admitted membership in the 52 Pueblo Bishop Bloods gang based out of El Burro Heights besides one male, who claimed he was a part of the gang but from the Strawberry branch. Ramirez photographed the men and released them.

     

    On January 5, 1989, police located and arrested Hart in Pueblo Bishops gang territory. Bass was arrested shortly thereafter in Morningwood, in 92 Pueblo Bishops gang territory as well.

     

    At trial, Givens testified that she had dated Hart and knew Bass as a key figure through the Pueblo Bishop Bloods. She saw both of them at a block party in February 1988 and Hart had asked her to drive by the scene of the shooting. He accompanied her and then she drove him back to the block party. A few days later, she saw them again and Hart said that they “did a shooting” in Bass’ car, which she described as a black Pinnacle. She said that when Detective Ramirez interviewed her, she had told him the truth, explaining to him thoroughly how the slaying was over some gang turf. The recording of Givens’ interview was played for the jury. Givens admitted that in 1988, after she had been arrested for the robberies, she entered into a leniency agreement with the prosecution pursuant to which she received a 4-year prison sentence in exchange for a guilty plea in the robbery cases and her truthful testimony against appellants in this case. She would have been subject to a maximum sentence of over 36 years.

     

    She admitted on cross-examination that she had committed other crimes, including forgery, passing counterfeit checks, and vehicle theft. She also admitted that in a prior proceeding she had testified that she lied easily and that it was fun to hurt people. She acknowledged that she could not recall everything she told Detective Ramirez and that she lied when she told Sergeant Reynolds she was pregnant. She denied testifying to help herself in connection with the robbery cases, although she conceded that she would do anything to protect herself.

     

    Both JaKhel Hart & Tony Bass were sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. The war between the 52 Pueblo Bishop Bloods & 48 Gangster Crips died down by the mid 1990s, however young members of today’s generation from each side still try their best to keep the decades-long beef everlasting.

     

    Amarillo Vista Bishops (Presently)

    Because past indictments and gang wars led to territorial issues, the 52s spread from South Los Santos to East Los Santos over the years after the now-defunct 52 Pueblo Bishop Blood set from Strawberry and 92 Pueblo Bishop Blood set from Morningwood became inactive. Majority of PBB members from Strawberry & Morningwood were either incarcerated or in prison, leaving members of the leftover Nine-Deuces no other option but to join forces with the Five-Deuces in East LS.

     

    Amarillo Vista became a known hotspot for some members of the gang and their day-to-day festivities, with shootings sparking curiosity for law enforcement and leaving residents that live in the area in fear. The narrowing avenue became a place where you can pull up at 4 AM and purchase drugs, rows of decrepit homes transformed into trap houses where each one operated like a 24/7 fast food drive thru.

     

    The gang’s youth membership skyrocketed in the 2010s. Surveys indicated that 14% to 30% of adolescents in East Los Santos were going to join the gang at some point. As of today, most of the gang’s members are young adults. The age range of youth is about 12 to 21. Influxes of teenaged Mexicans joining the gang were seen also due to El Burro Heights being highly populated by Latinos.

     

    In 2017, the Amarillo Vista Bishop Bloods (AVBB) subsidiary was created by younger members of the 52 Pueblo Bishop Bloods. The goal behind the making of the subset involved efforts by gang members to infuse their presence into new areas around East Los Santos, primarily to establish new drug markets and other money-making criminal enterprises. While the youth of the gang remain active in the streets of East Los Santos, most of the older generation are spending the rest of their life behind bars— causing the gang full of teenagers to become shot callers and leaders.

    We drove through Grove Street two times before we were shot from what I remember. Still our vehicle had tinted windows and we showed no hostile intentions, our car just got lit up because they saw our nametags.

    First it went from we had no reason to shoot at you guys and now it's we meta gamed your name tag? My video clearly shows me seeing the driver through the wind shield, it's scriptly not even possible to get the WINDSHIELD tinted. Not to mention the right window of the front seat was rolled down, which meant Ronelle Jones and Tashard Phillips would be completely exposed by the right passenger side window AND the windshield.
