East Side Pueblo Bishop Bloods are a predominately African-American street gang based in the Roy Lowstein region, Davis in a community known as the Low Bottoms. They have been active in that area since the early 1970s before the Blood identity was even forged. Prior to Black gang resurgence during the very early 1970s, there was a gang in the area called Pueblo Players that was active since the 1950s. Upon reaching out to one another, and establishing a deep bond, both the E/S Clover Gang and the East Side Pueblo Bishop Bloods had decided to effectively merge both of their sets together, the Pueblo Bishop Bloods control Roy Lowstein Boulevard whilst Eastside Clover Gang hold control over Brouge Avenue, both sets are currently defunct and are ultimately working together side by side flying green and red rags with one another. -- OOC Information -- This faction will follow the development of both the E/S Clover Gang & the East Side Pueblo Bishop Bloods, both sets currently operate on both Roy Lowstein Boulevard & Brouge Avenue, for anyone interested in learning more about the faction, you can find out more on our official discord https://discord.gg/4Scz2xTgKZ

South Side Barrio 13 Barriox13, Barrio13 (B13 in short) is a sureño street gang in South Los Santos. It was established in the early 1970s near Carson Avenue and Strawberry Avenue in South Los Santos. The South Side Barrio 13 gang was first created mainly for the protection of its members. The gang is divided into West Side Barriox13 and East Side Barriox13 gang, with all of its members loyal to the Barriox13 gang. The gang is loyal to the Mexican Mafia (or La Eme). Throughout the years, it has been targeted by the Los Santos Sheriff's Department and the Los Santos D.A. department with a Gang injunctions. The most recent gang injunction was in 2009. In the last 10 years, Sheriffs department have shot and killed multiple known Barriox13 gang members and have managed to find multiple firearms and different kinds of narcotics on them. In recent years, members of the gang have been targeted throughout all of Los Santos by rival gangs. Barriox13's youngsters are known to commit violent and brutal crimes, which is why Homicide detectives are still on the hunt for two men believed to be affiliated with the gang. These two are connected to recent vicious acts around the Chamberlain area of the city. As of early 2021, two other members of the gang have been murdered by what is believed to be an inside fight. The Barriox13 gang is especially known for their drug trafficking, arms trafficking and homicides. Besides having a history of many criminal acts, the gang is also believed to be involved in human trafficking. To this day, the gang's main source of income remains the drug trafficking.

Barrio 13 gang-members are well known for trafficking in illegal narcotics, along with other crimes like battery to murder, as well as robbery, burglary, carjacking, witness intimidation, kidnapping, weapons trafficking, identity theft, racketeering, drug and weapons-related charges & money laundering. OOC Information S/S Barrio 13 is loosely based on the real life counterpart, the Barriox13 gang. The group attempts to portray a realistic gang culture, with some liberties being taken in order to promote our original ideas. The laws of sureño gangs will still be followed by the group at all times. Everyone who is interested in roleplaying with us can do so by approaching us in character, around the Tahitian Flats and Casa Cristina in Strawberry. The group will focus on providing realistic roleplay to the server, as well as to everyone who interacts with us. All members are expected to follow all server and community rules at all times. The group leadership reserves the right to Character Kill (CK) any individual within the gang, or attempting to join the gang. The reasoning will always have to be a very good one, so no Character Kills will occur over petty issues. They are considered to be a last resort and will rarely be used.

The story of Joseph "Sneaky" Grajeda Joseph Grajeda wasn't the type of kid for gangbanging. When he was younger, he focused more on education rather than most other children within El Burro. He had his future planned out before himself, wishing to go into a BA once he finished school, however his plans were cut short after the death of his father, the man who supplied his entire household financially. Joseph was forced to move-in with his grand-parents with his mother and brother, who barely managed to pay for Joseph's education. He fell into a period of depression, bunking classes in order to hang out with James Lara, who was one of his best friends at the time. James was a horrible influence on Joseph, involving them both with the local Vista Locos gang, which had been run under Hector "Dozer" Lara, James' older brother. The duo immediately began skipping weeks of school at a time, practically living at the trap house. In grade 8, Joseph completely failed his semester, pushing him back a year, however at this point, Joseph's only interests were the gang. He influenced his brother into joining the gang, leaving their mother and grandparents' care. The duo eventually got put onto the Vista Locos 13 gang, Joseph due to his ability to easily evade the local police department (which racked him his placa as Sneaky) and his brother due to his fighting skills. The duo slumped further into the gang lifestyle as they climbed higher up the gang's structure. Joseph, who at 18 years old, was given complete responsibility of the gang by Hector "Dozer" Lara, who had constantly been a father figure for Joseph.

Isaiah's upbringing was similar to most of his friends, his father had little to do with him for most of his life, spending most of his time at home with his struggling mother who worked multiple jobs to keep the lights on in their home. Therefore, he was left to do whatever he wished from a young age. Most of his friends, began hanging around the local gang of his neighbourhood; Vista Locos 13. He would soon follow suit, and start making himself known to the OGs of the gang and ending up becoming a well known tag artist in the El Burro Heights area.. He was jumped into the clique, Dozer Lokos around the age of thirteen. School has always been a struggle for Isaiah, rarely spending any of his time there. Usually getting into fights, when he does attend. His mother would try to get him to attend when she was not at work, but the pair would rarely see each other due to Isaiah rarely going home, when she is able to be there due to work. His motives lie elsewhere. He now finds himself sixteen, and put on to the set. Most of the older members of the gang are currently incarcerated, leaving the remaining few to step up. Isaiah, being one of them. This thread will follow the story of Isaiah 'Goblin' Jimenez, a young gangbanger from Amarillo Vista, El Burro Heights.

This thread will show the development of Alejandro Contreras, a 15 year old living in Chamberlain Hills.

This thread will follow the the development and characterisation of Eduardo Pintos Carret, a youthful resident of Bridge Street as the encounters the strong presence of the infamous El Monte Flores gang. I. Origins Eduardo Felipe Pintos Carreto was born in Guadalajara Mexico. He lived in La Estancia with his mother, grandmother aunt and three nephews. La Estancia, a leafy suburb of the Mexican city of Guadalajara. At the time the neighborhood was dominated by gangs such as Florencia 13. The women who raised Eduardo often forbid him to go outside, shielding him from the gang activity seen on the streets of Guadalajara. Eduardo never realized the existence of any of these gangs in the early years of his life. II. A better life After years of struggle to make ends meet, Eduardo's mother got an opportunity presented to immigrate to the United States of America. When Eduardo was 9 years old his mother was granted a work visa to reside in the state of Arizona. Eduardo didn't want to leave his family members and friends behind, but he had no choice. His mother explained to him that they were on their way to a better life in a country that's more safe which provides more opportunities for their future. They settled in Phoenix Arizona, it didn't take long for Eduardo to feel at home as he easily met new friends, mostly Mexican immigrant kids who also spoke Spanish. After 8 months of living in the States, Eduardo's mother could see the end of her visa getting closer. She met an American male called Henry who often visited them and helped them financially. It didn't take long before Henry married Eduardo's mother, allowing her to request a greencard for her and her son. III. Los Santos After 5 years of marriage the financial situation of Henry changed, he lost his job and started drinking more. The relationship with Eduardo's mother became more abusive as he started prohibiting her and her son from going out or doing daily stuff. He would lock them in their home, beating them over minor or imaginary problems. Eduardo, who was 15 at the time, would often sneak out the house to smoke marijuana with friends and to escape from the reality at home. He would start shoplifting to get cash. When Eduardo turned 17 he was already indulging in occasional home invasions, breaking into cars and shoplifting. When one of the store owners in their neighborhood caught Eduardo he didn't call the police. He brought Eduardo to his parents, because he taught that'd have a better effect on him. Eduardo got beat so severely by his stepdad that his mother decided to leave the house the next day and move out, she couldn't take it anymore. They ended up in a small apartment on Bridge Street, Los Santos. IV. A better life 2.0 Having left and divorced her husband, Eduardo's mother took a nanny job in Los Santos. She'd be away from home most of the time, trying to make ends meet. Eduardo on the other hand was going to high school, where he got good grades, but eventually got kicked out for breaking into lockers. He took a job at a pizza delivery, but his stint at the pizzeria was short lived as the owner caught him smoking weed in between deliveries. He started hanging around on Bridge Street where he met a local named Risky. Eduardo who's then 19 explained his situation to the local teen. He offered help by giving Eduardo cocaine which he was supposed to sell for him. Eduardo didn't think twice and saw this as an opportunity. He got quickly introduced to other local teens who called themselves El Monte Flores. Eduardo is a confident, smart, tall boy, which allowed him to quickly make friends with the others. He quickly learned they were all in similar positions as he was, such as a local named Alonso. Alonso baptized Eduardo to Tarzan, due to his big thick curls. V. Becoming Tarzan Not long after dropping out of high school, Tarzan was getting groomed by the local El Monte Flores gang. He started to get close with locals who would pursue him into doing illegal activities with them. Tarzan's mothers final situation was as bad as ever, which resulted in Tarzan not having to think twice before committing crimes. It started with petty theft, going around stores shoplifting whatever they could get their hands on. Tarzan also quickly became familiar with gang violence, as he figured out when they came face to face with the Piru's. Tarzan was involved in a brawl in a so called Piru neighborhood a few blocks away. Not long into the fight several police cars pulled up to the scene, which led into a chase on foot with Tarzan and the officers. It didn't take long before the officers caught him on his flip flops. The officers figured Tarzan had a clean record and released him to walk home after a short interrogation. Having kept his mouth shut he showed the local gang members and affiliates he was down for the cause. Tarzan got introduced to Wicked, the shot caller of El Monte Flores. He took Tarzan shopping, paying for his whole outfit. Something that definitely impressed Tarzan, he saw right there what he wanted to become. VI. Gaining respect After Tarzan got familiar with the gang culture, he started to get more deeply involved in crime. Mainly in car theft and drug dealing, in which he showed his true criminal qualities. Tarzan was a quick learner, he realized that his actions would only gain him money and respect from the gang. His activities didn't go unnoticed as gang leader Wicked decided that Tarzan was going to have to bring in money for the gang now. A weekly tax of $2,000 became Tarzan's objective, which made him get only deeper involved in criminal activities. Tarzan witnessed first hand that the gang life could be a short lived one. He was taken on a robbery where he saw one of his friends die in front of his eyes. One day Tarzan was sitting in a stolen car by himself when suddenly a gang member named Scrappy jumped in his car. He convinced Tarzan to smuggle some contents into the TTCF jail, promising him to become an official member of the gang after he comes back. Something they'd call getting put on. VII. Gaining respect 2.0 Tarzan made sure he got arrested on a vandalism charge, having cocaine and a Nokia phone inside him. He was told to look for a person named Quatro. Not long after Tarzan got introduced his cell, a bald hispanic male clad in several gang affiliated tattoo's knocked on his window. He introduced himself to Tarzan and made sure his paperwork got checked out by a fellow Sureño gang member. Tarzan got introduced to Quatro after his paperwork proved he wasn't a snitch. He had successfully smuggled in some valuable contents for the gang. After getting out of prison Tarzan came home, only to find out half of the gang was arrested. Tarzan was disappointed, because it meant he wasn't going to get jumped in any time soon. However it didn't hold him back from getting right back into the criminal life again, stealing cars and dealing drugs. He was going to make sure he'd have enough money for the top of the gang pyramid to welcome them home with a nice sum of cash. VIII. The demise of Tarzan Having successfully set up a car theft operation with Jesus and Alonso Ramirez, Tarzan's confidence grew. He felt he had to keep it up so that he would become official in no-time. He'd be often seen in flashy stolen sports cars. On a day he got asked by a gang member named Swifty to smuggle in a phone back into the prison. Tarzan disagreed and pleaded that he was more valuable on the street making money, and suggested they should send a different local. Swifty wasn't taking no for an answer and decided to put a gun to Tarzan's head, pursuing him aggressively to follow his orders. Tarzan was perplexed by Swifty's actions, but still disagreed, not having much respect for Swifty. He stood his ground, slapping his pistol away and leaving the area and his last respect for Swifty behind. IX. The demise of Tarzan 2.0 Looney, a high ranked EMF member took over while most of the gang was in jail. He quickly got word of what happened through Swifty. While Tarzan kept his mouth shut about the incident, Swifty had been telling Looney everything that happened. Looney quickly acted by telling Tarzan wasn't welcome in the hood anymore and was told not to come back until he showed respect. Tarzan saw Swifty's actions as betrayal and snitching, as he took their dispute higher up. Tarzan was fuming and decided to steal a car to calm himself down, something that became so usual for him now. He stole a car and found that there were several beers and vodka bottles on the backseat. Tarzan didn't think twice and decided to drink his problems away, which only made his decision making worse. He picked his friends up, ranting about how he was going to kill Swifty and skip town. His friends calmed him down and advised him to go plead his case with Looney. X. Descansa en paz Eduardo Pintos Carreto 🕯️ Eduardo's meeting with Looney didn't go as expected, not long into his explanation het got cut off by Looney. He would go back and forth with the temporary shot caller, forgetting to show respect. His friends occasionally would chime in, in attempts to solve the issue and protect Tarzan from his own deeds. It only led to them having to beat up Tarzan by order of Looney. His own friends beat him up, which made Tarzan realize this was all for nothing. In a split second he shifted his positive thoughts into negative ones, seeing how he was betrayed, mislead and abused in his eyes. As Tarzan limped back to the stolen sports car, Looney told him he would make sure that Tarzan would never become an official member of the gang. Tarzan quickly snapped back that he wouldn't want to be associated with snitches anyway. His last remark caused Looney to fire several bullets into Eduardo, who there died on the spot.

YOU PLAY, YOU PAY Daniel Parada Daniel Parada was born into a broken home, with his father incarcerated for 2x Second Degree murder, and his divorced mother addicted to heroin. At a young age, Daniel was forced into a parental role, taking care of his younger sister while his mother neglected them both. Daniel often looked to his father for guidance, frequenting visits at the Bolingbroke State Penitentiary. Whilst juggling between academics and family, Daniel found himself a sense of power within the controlling El Monte Flores gang, where he racked "Spider" as his placa due to his lanky legs. Over the next few years of Daniel's life, he made the set a priority over education, often bunking classes and eventually flunking out of high school in his last year. The income Daniel had received throughout his years within the set had given him enough money to move out of his mother's house and into his own, partly accompanied by his sister who had moved between homes often. On the night of 21 April 20XX, Daniel and a a homie of his had decided that the conditions were suitable for them to hit a lick on a random female, who had turned out to be an off-duty police officer. After flunking the robbery, the duo had took to running, sprinting through the alleys of Bridge Street, before turning a corner and into a cruiser. They were both shortly detained and later arrested, serving Daniel with 1x Armed Robbery, 1x Possession of an illegal firearm and 1x Resisting Arrest. During his stay at the Correctional Facility, Daniel had provided his camaradas with poorly-designed tattoos, created by a makeshift tattoo machine. Daniel was able to pursue his creative interests, while simultaneously making a profit via commissary. Not only did he focus on tattoos, he had also focused much of his attention on programming, increasing his muscle mass. Maya Parada Maya Parada, younger sister to Daniel, shared the same upbringing as her older brother. Her father being incarcerated and her mother would neglect the pair, choosing to feed her addiction rather than caring for her children. This would feed into Daniel ending up being her only parental figure, as he looked after her. Though, Maya was born and raised on Bridge Street. This would influence her drastically, despite her brother attempting to keep her away from the local gang as best as he could. She would be pushed by her older brother to focus on her academics, and stay away from the gang lifestyle, though her personal desires would be the opposite of what her brother wished. Looking up to him, she would pick up some of his creative side, though opting to display this talent through the use of a spray can rather than a tattoo needle. Taking great care in her artwork, she would practice designs at home, refining her craft.

VARRIO KING KOBRAS RIFA 13 Varrio King Kobras Rifa 13 (VKKR13), alternatively known as Varrio King Kobras, is a violent but small Sureno street gang that originated with its roots out in East Los Santos in the mid-1970s. Their rivals varying through many and known to have little to no allies but aren't scared to hold their ground; their enemies include the Chopper12s, Indiana Dukes 13, El Monte Flores, Varrio Nueva Estrada, and the list goes on. Their territory emerges in East Los Santos but cliques have expanded out to South Central. HISTORY King Kobras was originated in East Los Santos around the late-1970s, Made of Hispanic teenagers wielding spray cans and ran around with the title of "King Kobras". The group found their name after learning about the deadliest animals in Biology Class, this posse was composed of juvenile delinquents, outcasts, and misfits. The teenagers established their foothold in Cypress Flats in the East Los Santos Area, housings units designed for low-income citizens who were living off section 8, but also for the incoming hordes of immigrants that rained in from Mexico and Southern American countries. Affordable shelter and jobs were readily available. The area, however, quickly became an overcrowded ghetto that was primarily dominated by Mexicans. Conflict merged fast, arguments would pour into parties, parties would be trashed or simple confrontations would occur from only a couple of streets away from nearby gangs, they were expected to bump heads at any time of the day. Tensions started to rise between street gangs in the area until the 1980s. This soon changed however following the stabbing of a rival affiliate outside a local convenience store. The victim was pronounced dead on the scene and two KK13 affiliates were arrested for said stabbing. This put King Kobras on the map and under the scrutinization of the Los Santos Police Department Gang Unit specified as CRASH (Community Resources Against Street Hoodlums) In the street gang's prime, the gang's main money flow came from what they could steal, rob, and whatever narcotics they could get their hands on and sell. In the dawn of the 1980s, An addictive drug hit Los Santos that was already spreading like wildfire throughout San Andreas, the addictive rock-like narcotic and substitute was known as Crack Cocaine. The drug fueled gangs with money, turf, and accessibility to firearms, It was only in a matter of time that King Kobras would get involved with the murderous drug pool of crime and drugs. Gangs quickly went back and back at each other with firearms over being sole rivals and expansion of the drug trade, making the city worse with the crime being at an all-time. Due to the prior arrests of the two and the crackdown of King Kobras causing many members to be arrested with gang enhancement charges, resulting in the KK gang turning to the Mexican Mafia or EME for protection within the correctional system as well as support on the outside. Sooner or later, the gang was blessed with a 13 that allowed claiming the official title of "Varrio King Kobras Rifa 13" as we know them today. Prison only expanded their horizons and was almost like a fraternity, members coming back home with more knowledge to the streets and what was expected to worsen the gang's situation only gave them the option to widen their name in the penitentiary system. MODERN DAY VARRIO KING KOBRAS RIFA 13(VKKR13), known to be a compact but reputable street gang that has immigrated into South Central after the gentrification of Cypress Flats, forcing generational families out of homes to establish industrial buildings and nicer households for the rich and wealthy. Most of the VKKR13 generations spread out through South Central and East Los Santos just to officially open a stronghold in Roy Lowenstein Boulevard where they've been holding their ground for the past two generations from the early 2000s until now. When challenged, they are familiar to hold their ground with their reckless and brutal ways. Having a tough presence in their community, VKKR13 aims to recruit at a young age, exploiting dysfunctional families and poverty-stricken households. Vigorous jump-ins as an initiation became a tradition, young recruits went through a thirteen-second brutal beatdown while another member counted to honor the Suréno program, this only occurred when affiliates were sanctioned in or rejected from the gang. Currently, in 2021 the Varrio King Kobra Rifa 13 has seen better days and the gang has unfortunately grown smaller and smaller from members dropping out, being arrested, or being killed. The older generations have been dwelling in the shadow from being incarcerated or no longer living the gang life, only a small handful of the older generation has the option to keep the name alive and lace-up the younger generation to not fall. Newer cliques have emerged from recent years, keeping the Varrio King Kobras Rifa 13 thriving and the name alive. CLIQUES OF VARRIO KING KOBRAS RIFA 13 Cyclones (CYS), the original clique that was founded in Cypress Flats after being blessed with the 13. It was originally led by Manuel "Bullet" Espinar, and under his leadership, the clique would continue to thrive until the late 90s. This soon changed however with the LSPD cracking down on the gang, more specifically the clique. Resulting in many of the members including Bullet being arrested. The majority of the remnants of the Cyclones clique have been scattered around the San Andreas penitentiary systems with only an insignificant amount of members who are released have dropped the gang life but a small crumb has still been known to be active and rarely ever recruit, looking for experienced individuals. The clique is nearly defunct today with active membership outside being estimated at ten to twenty across Los Santos. Tiny Dukeros (TDS) is a relatively new clique that propped up in the area. Following the arrest of much of the gang's older affiliates and the vast majority of the Cyclones, all that was left was the new generation of KK13 affiliates. The clique was also based in South Central, contrary to Cypress Flats. The majority of the gang was forced out of Cypress Flats due to gentrification and industrialization. The gang soon had heated conflicts and was in a disorganized mess for the first few years in their new home. Soon enough however, Edward "Rebel" Tapia took leadership of this new generation, he helped steer them in the right direction and soon enough they grew in numbers. Nowadays they are the most prominent and active clique in the gang, with the clique composing the vast majority of members in the gang. Dead End Diablas (DED) the newest, female-only clique under KK13, With the younger generation of v.KKR13 male affiliates aligning themselves with the TDS clique, the females were left out of the scene. There were a number of notable female members of the Cyclones clique in the mid 90's and early 2000's but they faded into irrelevance or died out with the rest of the clique. For a while, the female presence in the gang was weak at best. This soon changed however with the females banding together for protection and companionship under the guidance of relatives of males from the TDS clique, its initial founder being Isabela "Drowsy" Tapia, the sister of TDS' founder, Edward "Rebel" Tapia. The girls belonging to this clique pride themselves on being extremely unpredictable, violent, and chaotic, a reputation they hold dearly as it is what elevates them and brings them into the fold of gang politics. Overall, the clique itself has yet to show up on law enforcement's radar but the violent and brutal acts of its members have steadily begun building them a fearsome reputation in the streets of South Central.

The Varrio Harpys gang (HPS) also known as Harpys 13 or Varrio Harpys, is a predominantly Hispanic street gang that originated in the area of Grove street in the Western of South Central Los Santos by the 1960s. This group of teenagers have been known to terrorize the city throughout the years until recently back in 2017 that the group has suffered from the first ever gang injuction at South Central. History of the Harpys gang The Varrio Harpys gang (HPS) also known as Harpys 13 or Varrio Harpys, is a long-standing Hispanic street gang that originated in the area of Grove street in the Western of South Central Los Santos by the 1960s. The heart of their neighborhood stretched from Chamberlain’s gas station to the dead end of Grove Street. 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 of Los Santos. The gang took their name from the Harpy Eagle, which is the largest and most powerful raptor found in America to symbolize 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. Resulting for both of the small gangs to emerge into a single, unified Harpys gang in order to strengthen themselves and beef up their numbers. They consisted of multiple cliques such as the 25th Street Tiny Locos (TLS), 27th Street Chicos Malos (CM), 28th Street Dukes (DKS), 39th Street Tokers, and 5th Avenue Midgets (MGS) 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 sets. 13 Ruben, known as “Doc”, was the leader of Harpys, a Latino street gang in South Central Los Santos. On May 16, 1988, three years after entering the state prison system he rose through the ranks of the prison system to become a dreaded member of the Mexican Mafia. Roman had been a state prisoner since 1985, when he began serving a sentence of life without the possibility of parole for first-degree murder. As a member of the syndicate, authorities said in court documents, Roman was authorized to collect narcotics and extortion proceeds from not just his own gang but a panoply of others in South Los Santos: 38th Street, 36th Street, Primera Flats, Playboys and East Side Trece, among others. By 2012 Doc still managed to maintain his grip on the gang from inside prison, Roman controlled a territory in South Los Santos bordered by Popular Street to the east, Davis Avenue to the west, Adam’s Apple Boulevard to the north and La Puerta Freeway to the south, but on 2017 the feds hit them hard as part of the two-and-a-half year “Operation Roman Empire” investigation, feds say they seized 8-and-a-half pounds of meth, a half pound of heroin, a pound of cocaine, 23 pounds of marijuana and 24 guns. Charging 18 Harpys members and associates, including Ruben’s daughter, Catalina, with racketeering, drug trafficking and various violent crimes. On June 11 2020, Ruben “Doc” Santos, a Mexican Mafia member who controlled swaths of South Los Santos from various prison cells throughout San Andreas, was stabbed to death Wednesday at a substance abuse treatment facility in TTCF, the state prison system said Thursday. History of the Grove Street 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. An Associate of the Mexican Mafia was killed under mysterious circumstances on March 6, the Camarada's body was found 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 with Grove Street Harpys participating. This has led 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. On April 6 2017, Dead End Harpys XIII was dragged along with the first ever gang injunction request after the “Operation Roman Empire” succeeded with the downfall of it’s previous leader Catalina “Temper” Santos, and ended up in the arrest of most Harpys gang members. Few members left or tried to take control of the leadership after the former shotcaller Adam “Stoner” Venegas got booked for his involvement during the Arsoning and Capital murders of Ghetto Boyz 13. While in the spree of arrests, the gang now also dealt with their own members infighting for control of the set. The turnout created an unwanted presence between the younger barrio kids, who chose to avoid joining the gang. Eventually leading to their drop of recruitments and ultimately left Grove Street taken over by any current gangs in the area. Today’s Harpys Survivors or otherwise newer generation members of the Harpys 13 gang have adapted themselves into the Roy Lowenstein / Avenues district of Los Santos. A dangerous gang-area known to occupy with gangs such as; Dark Side Neighborhood Bloods, S/S Avenidas, and King Kobras 13 in the general location. For these young gangsters the gang lifestyle is their way to put food on the plate for their families and for their personal needs. This new generation of Harpys soon adopted the ways of the old generation, taking advantage of the already increasing crime rate in the city of Los Santos to bring back the gang together and make a name for themselves under the clique of Dead End Avenue currently led by Miguel “Dreamer” Gomez. The gang’s main revenue was from the street level distribution of narcotics such as Marijuana, Cocaine, Heroin and Methamphetamine. In no time, the new generation found their way back to distribute them narcotics using their felonious talents, while petty crimes like tagging walls and slanging drugs make up the majority of the gang’s criminal activity. The varrio Harpys is no stranger to much more serious crimes such as grand theft auto, burglary, armed robbery, small scale business racketeering / extortion, and even murder.

SALUDOS Y RESPETO Victor Mosquera, commonly known under his placa "Pelon" was raised within the infamous neighborhood of Chamberlain Hills, partly-controlled by the violent Tortilla Flats Gang. During his early years in the gang, Victor was involved in various illicit activities, primarily armed robberies and car-jackings. He'd often steal car radios and whatever valuables he could scrummage from the vehicles within Chamberlain, which was at the time, primarily surrounded by various black gangs. At age 14, Victor was sent to a Juvenile Correctional Facility where he'd keep his head shaved clean as a method of appearing tougher, landing himself the nickname "Pelon". Over the next few years of his life, Victor was in-and-out of different government facilities, constantly returning back to his old gangbanging way of life as the cycle continued. In 2007, Victor was charged with Second Degree Murder and Armed Robbery, landing him fourteen years in the Twin Towers Correctional Facility where he had been cemented into a "Sureño" lifestyle, accompanied by a drastic sense of paranoia. During his time at Twin Towers, Victor's interest in tattoos sparked drastically, landing him multiple poorly designed tattoos that currently spread across his face and torso. After serving his fourteen-year long sentence, Victor was finally released back into the streets of Los Santos where he immediately- re-involved himself with the Tortilla Flats Gang, as shown through the character thread.
