Westside Longos 13 (WSL13) is an exclusively Hispanic varrio, operating around the Vespucci/La Puerta area of West Los Santos. Varrio Longo 13 originated during the 1960s during the 1960s, as a single unit. They became infused with the Mexican Mafia around the 1980s like many other Hispanic street gangs that fell under the Sureno umbrella. The Longos 13 were once the largest varrio around the Harbor Area of Los Santos, but by the mid 2000s Hispanic varrios like Culver City 13, Vespucci 13, and Terror Town 13 gained more control, pushing the Longos 13 to the brink of being defunct. Varrio Longo 13 once was a single entity. By the 1970s, members broke off forming two subgroups known as the Eastside and Westside Longos, due to internal fighting. The Northside Longos were the last of the three to emerge taking roots in North Vespucci Beach. Since the inception of the Westside Longos the gang has shown harsh treatment towards different ethnic groups, this is one of the primary reason behind the formation of Asian, Samoan, and Cambodian street gangs such as the Tiny Rascals and the Asian Boyz. The Westside Longos have been considered to be the most hated criminal street gang in the Harbor City, due to the fact that they have killed members from most African-American street gangs in Vespucci Beach/La Puerta. The Westside Longos once claimed the area around Goma Street, but due to a gang injunction in 2022 by the Los Santos City Attorney the street gang lost control of the area due lack of membership. Two main leaders within Eastside Longos 13 Oscar “Sicko” Cano, and Alexander “Grumps” Ordonez were arrested after a 22 year old documented Asian Boyz gang-member was killed during April of 2022. The murder was the final straw in a 2-year investigation into the Eastside Longos, which spread to an increase in recruitment with the Westside Longos 13. During the 1990s, Vespucci Beach was at the peak of its racist history. Since the early 1900s the 'Marina Area' has experienced hundreds of racially motivated gangs popping up and being responsible for dozens of racially-motivated attacks on several different ethnic groups. Since the mid-1980s, Vespucci Beach, famous for its muscle beach, and early morning winds, has also been something of a magnet for white-supremacist gangs. Its Bay Avenue backyards, and downtown area have been gathering spots for young people whose heads, swastika tattoos, steel-toed boots and racist philosophy mark them as "skins." In the last few years, skinheads from Vespucci Beach have been linked to violent episodes both in and outside L.S. Since the late 1980s, Longos have been a part of intense battle with neighboring Crip Factions in the ‘Marina Area’ of Greater Los Santos. One of the most intense conflicts in recent time has been between Westside Longo and Rollin 20 Crip. The clique within Longos 13 responsible for most of the violent crimes with Blacc Bandit Crip was the Northside Longo 13 clique, located around N. Bay City Avenue & N. San Andreas Avenue. Due to the Police and Sheriff's Department’s county crackdown on gang-activity in the early 1990s the conflict between Blacc Bandit Crip & Northside Longos 13 was diminished as ongoing feuds between the two gangs resulted in many of members on each side either becoming incarcerated or deceased. As the conflict between Blacc Bandit Crip & Northside Longos 13 finished, other cliques within Longos 13 throughout Vespucci adopted the moniker of ‘Crip Killer’. This infuriated local Crip gangs creating tension between Longo neighborhoods and Crip neighborhoods. These tensions have been amplified by an increase in racial-attacks between ‘African-Americans & Hispanic-Americans’. Many non-gang affiliated residents become assumed gang-members by each side. Resulting in the 2004 death of ‘Tonya Price’, a local elementary teacher who was shot inside a hair-salon by reputed ‘Eastside Longos 13’ gang-member Elise Salazar. Race-related fights have afflicted school campuses across the county, but specifically in the Marina Area. Civil rights advocates say that violence has grown at an alarming rate last year, continuing the 1990 trend of more Latino versus black confrontations prompting increases in police presence as to community discussions between the ethnic groups. At the height of the racial-conflict in 'Vespucci Beach', many members of the Longo 13 street-gang were incarcerated due to the intense back and forth violence intertwined with hate crimes. This was the result of many Crip gangs in the area, as both sides partook in the war. The racial gang-war between Vespucci Beach Crips, and the Westside Longos began to meet deceleration after a peace-treaty was called between Westside Longos 13, and E/S Insane Crip Gang in 2016. The peace-treaty was the result of several gang-members from the Insane Crip Gang being apprehended for the murder of 13-year old Hispanic boy, "Michael Cerritos". Many residents in the Vespucci Beach deemed the treaty to be insincere as the Los Santos Sherriff's Department had cultivated the peace-treaty as a threat to increase civil-injunctions in the 'Marina Area'. By 2019 the treaty had become a thing of the past, individuals from Longo cliques had currently re-activated the conflict by attacking African-Americans around the S. Melanoma Street neighborhood. Due to the decline in Crip gangs remaining active in the Vespucci Beach since the Blacc Bandit Crip (Vespucci Beach), and Insane Crip Gang (Del Perro) any conflict between the Crips and Longos has become stagnant. This has allowed the Longos 13 gang to develop it's new generation of gang-members through recruiting at local high-schools in the East/North side neighborhoods of Vespucci Beach.
