(Bleustone chunkin up that Yard thang) The D/W GraveYard Gangster Crips are an extremely small, reputable but somewhat active street gang today. They're located in the city of Del Perro, Los Santos also commonly known as the "Deep West". The GraveYard Gangster Crips are officially one of the newer Trays (3x) to come out in the early to mid-90s and are considered one of the youngest gangs in Los Santos in terms of how long they've been established. The GYGCs (GraveYard Gangster Crips) are named after the Hill Valley Cemetery which is also considered their main territory hence the name "GraveYard Gangsters". The cemetery itself used to be very active in the 90s & early 2000's but now in this day and age the GraveYards aren't nearly as functional as they were in the past. They tend to keep a low profile and they're almost barely heard of nowadays thanks to "Operation Tombstone" a homicide and narcotics investigation, and mainly gentrification. The area of Del Perro fell victim to a huge level of gentrification with attempted gentrification even dating back to the early 1920s when whites were trying their absolute hardest to push blacks out of the city. Due to the fact that Del Perro was and is now still a big tourist hotspot with famous beaches, landmarks, and landscapes property costs have gone through the roof and an influx of the Hispanic demographic has grown significantly over the years. The GraveYard Crips' main enemy is DP13, AKA Del Perro 13, they also beef with all West LS Deuces (2x). Primarily the Vespucci Shoreline Crips and the West Boulevard Crips, they beef with all bloods and the NH card. Most gangs wouldn't even consider it real beef with the GraveYards due to their significant distance from each other and their inactivity plus their small size in numbers. They share a very close alliance with the Hawthorne Family Gangster Crips, another small 3x set, and the Eight Tray Gangster Crips, one of the more notorious, bigger and more active 3x gangs today.

SHADY EIGHTIES The Eight Trey Gangster Crips, also known as Hell Gang, and Movin Gang, are a predominately African-American street gang, founded during the mid-1970s as a splinter gang off the Original West Side Crips. Rayford “Big Sidewinder” Miles was the founder who created this neighborhood which was a split-off from the West Side Crips. Sidewinder cofounded the set with Jeffrey “Big Bay” Bacot, Cornell “Hunchy” McKinney, Melvin “Skull” Farmer, and Jesse “Hillbilly” Ford were also co-founders. The original name, Original Gangster Crips, was created by Skull, but after he was arrested, Sidewinder changed the name slightly to Eight Tray Gangster Crips, because he actually lived on 83rd Street. Even though the set started on 83rd Street, it spanned north and south stretching from roughly Gage to Century, covering over 40 city blocks similar to the old boundaries of the West Side Crips. Over the years, they formed several sub-clicks and including the Original South Side, Deep South Side, Bacc West Side, Far West Side, and Nutty North Side. A section of their turf extends west past Western Avenue where St Andrews Park is located. Though the 60's and a few other gangs outnumber them in membership. North Side, Farr West Side, Original West Side (retired), Bacc West Side, and the South Side are the main cliques active within their turf. Eight Trey Gangster Crips are mostly known for their beefs with the Rollin' 60's and 90's that have been going on for over four decades. These beefs are what has led to the major split and animosity between most Gangster Crip and Neighborhood Crip sets both across LS County and the rest of San Andreas. The Gangster Crip card is said to have started as a result of the feud between the Rollin' 60's Neighborhood Crips and the 83 Gangster Crips that resulted in the Gangster Crip card being founded at Saint Andrews Park in 1979. Most Crip gangs on the East Side of South Central would choose to align themselves with 83GC, except East Coast Crip and Main Street Mafia Crip, while most gangs on the West Side allied with the Rollin' 60's under NHC/Rollin Card besides the West Los Treys, Hoovers, and 99 Mafia Crip. '92 RIOTS The 1992 Los Santos riots were a series of riots and civil disturbances that occurred in South Los Santos during April, and May 1992. Unrest began in South Central Los Santos on April 29, after a jury acquitted four officers of the Los Santos Police Department charged with using excessive force in the arrest and beating of Michael King. The incident had been videotaped by a bystander to the incident and was heavily broadcast in news and media outlets. The rioting took place in several areas in the Los Santos metropolitan area as thousands of people rioted over six days following the verdict's announcement. Widespread looting, assault, and arson occurred during the riots, which local police forces had difficulty controlling. The situation in the Los Santos area was resolved after the California National Guard, San Andreas Military, and several federal law enforcement agencies deployed more than 10,000 of their armed first responders to assist in ending the violence and unrest. When the riots ended, 63 people had been killed, 2,383 had been injured, more than 12,000 had been arrested, and estimates of property damage were over $1 billion. Little Seoul, situated just to the north of South Central LS, was disproportionately damaged. Much of the blame for the extensive nature of the violence was attributed to the LSPD Chief of Police who had already announced his resignation by the time of the riots, for failure to de-escalate the situation and overall mismanagement. Before the release of the Michael King videotape, minority community leaders in Los Santos had repeatedly complained about harassment and the use of excessive force against their residents by Los Santos Police Department officers. Chief of the LSPD from 1978 to 1992, has been attributed with much of the blame for the riots. According to one study, "scandalous racist violence... marked the LSPD under tempestuous leadership. The LSPD had begun Operation Hammer in April 1987, which was a large-scale militarized push in Los Santos. The origin of Operation Hammer can be traced to the 1984 Olympic Games held in Los Santos. The LSPD expanded gang sweeps for the duration of the Olympics. These were implemented across wide areas of the city but especially in South Central and East Los Santos, areas of predominately minority residents. After the games were over, the city began to revive the use of earlier anti-syndicalist laws in order to maintain the security policy started for the Olympic games. The police more frequently conducted mass arrests of African American youth. Citizen complaints against police brutality increased by 33 percent in the period 1984-1989. By 1990 more than 50,000 people, mostly minority males, had been arrested in such raids. During this period, the LSPD arrested more young black people since the Rancho riots of 1965. Critics have alleged that the operation was racially motivated because it used racial profiling, targeting African American and Mexican American youths. The perception that police had targeted non-white citizens likely contributed to the anger that erupted in the 1992 riots. The Christopher Commission later concluded that a "significant number" of LSPD officers "repetitively use excessive force against the public and persistently ignore the written guidelines of the department regarding force." The biases related to race, gender, and sexual orientation were found to have regularly contributed to the LSPD's use of excessive force. The commission's report called for the replacement of both Chief Of Police and the civilian Police Commission. POLICE INTERVENTION AT 71st AND NORMANDIE At Florence and Halldale, two officers issued a plea for assistance in apprehending a young Eight Trey gang member who had thrown an object at their car and whom they were pursuing on foot. Approximately two dozen officers, commanded by 77th Street Division LSPD Lieutenant Eric Moulin, arrived and arrested the youth, 16-year-old Sean Daniels, forcing him into the back of a car. The rough handling of the young man, a well-known minor in the community, further agitated an uneasy and growing crowd, who began taunting and berating the police. The police formed a perimeter around the arresting officers as the crowd grew more hostile, leading to further altercations and arrests. One member of the crowd stole the flashlight of an LSPD officer. Fearing police would resort to deadly force to repel the growing crowd. Lieutenant Moulin ordered officers out of the area altogether. Moulin later said that officers on the scene were outnumbered and unprepared to handle the situation because their riot equipment was stored at the police academy. Moulin made the call for reporting officers to retreat from the 71st and Normandie area entirely at approximately 5:50 p.m. They were sent to an RTD bus depot at 54th and Arlington and told to await further instructions. The command post formed at this location was set up at approximately 6 p.m. but had no cell phones or computers other than those in squad cars. It had insufficient numbers of telephone lines and handheld police radios to assess and respond to the situation. Finally, the site had no televisions, which meant that as live broadcasts of unrest began, command post officers could not see any of the coverage. After the retreat of officers at 71st and Normandie, many proceeded one block south to the intersection of Florence and Normandie. Just after 6 p.m., a group of young men broke the padlock and windows to Tom's Liquor, allowing a group of more than 100 people to raid the store and loot it. Concurrently, the growing number of rioters in the street began attacking civilians of non-black appearance, throwing debris at their cars, pulling them from their vehicles when they stopped, smashing window shops, or assaulting them while they walked on the sidewalks. As a member of the film crew continued to film the scene on the ground with his camcorder, the Los Santos News Service team arrived in a news helicopter, broadcasting from the air. The LANS feed appeared life on numerous Los Santos television venues. At approximately 6:15 p.m., as reports of vandalism, looting, and physical attacks continued to come in, Moulin elected to "take the information" but not to respond or send personnel to restore order or rescue people in the area. Moulin was relieved by a captain, ordered only to assess the Florence and Normandie area, and, again, not to attempt to deploy officers there. Meanwhile, bystanders in the area labeled the police presence as "none". Although the Los Santos Mayor lifted the curfew, signaling the official end of the riots, sporadic violence and crime continued for a few days afterward. Schools, banks, and businesses reopened. Federal troops did not stand down until May 9. The Army National Guard remained until May 14. Some National Guard soldiers remained as late as May 27. Between fifty and sixty people had died and two thousand more were injured. Damage estimates climbed to nearly $1 billion. While residents tried to rebuild their communities, federal authorities charged the four police officers in the King case with civil rights violations. Two of the officers were found guilty and sentenced to prison. THE 3X/GANGSTER CRIP CARD As many major "Gangster Crip vs. Gangster Crip'' wars began to pop off, it caused sets such as 42/43/48 Gangster Crips, 87 Gangster Crips, 97 Gangster Crips, and Budlong Gangster Crips to become friendly with Rollin/Neighborhood/Blocc Crip gangs due to their ongoing beefs with more respected Gangster Crip factions like 83 Gangsters, Avalon Gangsters, and Broadway Gangsters. Gangster Crip sets that align themselves with anything claiming Rollin'/NHC/BC are automatically considered "unofficial" or "watered down” by sets that abide by traditional GC/3X politics. Gangster Crip sets that prioritize beefing with NHC/2X Crip gangs over older blood rivalries often use the phrase “G before the C'' to signify their loyalty to the Gangster Crip card alone as opposed to the larger Crip umbrella as a whole. In recent years the younger generation of members from Gangster Crip sets have even gone as far as to cross color lines and associate with Blood gangs like BPS, NHP, and IFGB due to their shared hatred of the Neighborhood Crip/2X gangs despite past feuds between the two sides in earlier decades. Which has led to modern day alliances in the city such as "Suwoop Movin Groovin" that would not have been tolerated during the height of “Blood vs. Crip” gang wars the city experienced in prior decades. The Suwoop, Movin, Groovin movement is an unofficial alliance between various different Blood, Crip, and Hoover gangs on the West side of South Los Santos. Suwoop, Movin, and Groovin was allegedly formed around 2010 when several gangs who feud heavily with the Neighborhood card came together under one alliance, with the Eight Trey Gangster Crips and the Inglewood Family Gangster Bloods being the main sets mentioned. At one time, the Rollin 60s Neighborhood Crips and the Eight Tray Gangster Crips were close allies and often fought rival gangs together. However, by the early 1980s, they were engaged in all-out warfare. In September 1979 a 15-year-old member of the Eight Tray Gangster Crips got into a fight with a teenage member of the Rollin 60s Neighborhood Crips over a girl who had been dating both young men. In a subsequent fist-fight between the two teenagers, a new recruit to the Eight Trays, eager to make a name for himself, pulled a gun and shot the Rollin 60s member to death. The older brother of the 60s member who was killed, also a member of the Rollin 60's himself, demanded that the Eight Trays hand over the new recruit to be punished in order to prevent a war between the two gangs. The Eight-Trays were unable to find the new recruit for he had already turned himself in to the police. The Rollin 60's, feeling that the "Treys" weren't being honest, murdered a member of the Eight Trays in retaliation. Although a meeting was called by the leaders of both gangs in an attempt to end the fight, tensions were so high between them that the meeting erupted into a gang rumble, after which the Rollin 60s Neighborhood Crips and the Eight Tray Gangster Crips engaged in a gang war that still exists to this day. This rivalry is responsible for being the first Crip-on-Crip rivalry in history. The feud has spilled over into surrounding neighborhoods, forcing other gangs to chose sides in the conflict. Gangs who aligned themselves with the Eight Tray Gangster Crips adopted the “Gangster Crips” or Tray(3x) card while those who aligned themselves with the Rollin 60’s adopted the "Neighbor Hood Crips" or Deuce(2x) card.

A Westcoast Saga The Westcoast Village Crip Gang [WCVCG], also known as the "Splash Gang," is a predominately African American street gang from Vespucci Beach, Los Santos. Their points of interests are located throughout the Vespucci Canals. They're one of many Crip syndicates that represent and fall under the 3x Card, their gang history dating back to the late 1970s-80s. The name "Splash" derives from the surrounding bodies of water throughout Vespucci Beach. They were originally known as the "Village Park Boys" from La Puerta that were active during the late 1970s, probably from about 1976 to approximately 1981. They picked up and added the "Westcoast" moniker based on geographical reasons, mainly because they were located in West Los Santos. The Village Park Boys [VTB] were a predominately African American quasi-street gang that hung out in the area of Magellan Avenue adjacent to the Vespucci Suites housing projects on the westside of La Puerta. Although they were not official Crip members, their close relationship to surrounding Gangster Crip sets made them rivals to all Blood(s) and other Crip & Mexican gangs in West Los Santos. They were active in the 1970s, going into the early 1980s until their identity lessened as the Westcoast Village Crip Gang's identity grew stronger. The Westcoast Crips are known to sport apparel by the Seattle Mariners & Washington Nationals, accompanied by the traditional color blue sported by Crips. CeeCee Gibson Jr., the founding father of what became the Westcoast Village Crip Gang today, who himself transformed into "The Savior of Crip," died on Dec. 1st, 2021, of lung cancer. In the early 1970s, the Black Panthers and other radical organizations were no longer seen to pose a major threat, and law enforcement agencies at all levels started to concentrate on gangs, the new "public enemy number one." Beginning in 1972, the Los Santos County Sheriff's Department received federal funding to create a special "Street Gang Detail" squad to combat the groups. By the spring of 1992, it seemed that nearly two decades of gang control measures had failed. As with the rebellions of the late 1960s and early 1970s, more enforcement seemed to only precipitate more violence in response. But the consequences for low-income Black communities were now more dire. These communities, in LS and other cities, were under attack, caught in a war among rival gangs and between gangs and the police. In 2002, then City Attorney Vinh Hahn, requested the first injunction against the entire gang in their neighborhood. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed an appeal on behalf of the WCVCG and a judge eventually denied Hahn's request because the gang injunction, as it was written, was a violation of the First Amendment right of freedom of association to the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment rights to due process. A couple months later, Hahn went back to court with a modified version of his initial injunction and was able to get a judge to approve a preliminary injunction against the ACLU's recommendations. Since the 1980s, the mostly African American community within Vespucci Beach has seen an influx of Hispanic immigrants into this working-class neighborhood that has reduced the size of the Black community and the membership of the gang, which still exists in the same area. Village Park Boys CeeCee "Blue Baby" Gibson Jr. was born on Sep. 24, 1960, in South Los Santos, but by age three was living on the Westside of La Puerta, around Magellan Avenue. He was a sweet, loving child who relished putting together model cars, playing and watching sports and was a big fan of the local teams, the Panic, the Shrimps and the Corkers. He was also a "mama's boy." His love for cars made him grow into a big-time car enthusiast, owning several during his peek. "Back in the day, Blue Baby woulda probably kicked my ass from the Canals back to La Puerta if I ever called him a "mama's boy", but his older sister Cynthia "Tiny" Gibson could get away with it, so I’ll put that claim on her," childhood friend Urellus Dunn said. "He was a mama's boy," said Cynthia Gibson, who spoke eloquently of her younger brother during his funeral at Hill Valley Church of God on West Eclipse Boulevard, Pacific Bluffs, Los Santos and Route 68. "I would tell him that, even when he was older. He'd tell me; "I'm not a little boy anymore, I'm a grown man." I'm seven years older than CeeCee, so I really didn't know the other side of him, because I got married and moved away." Zaquan "Forty" Manning, an original Westside Crip, said that when he went away to prison for his role in the infamous 1972 "Vespucci Boardwalk Murder" of Dallevante Curry, CeeCee "was just a boy playing sports in the park." But, by the time Manning was released 12 years later, CeeCee had become "Blue Baby" and was "a for real Crip." He was given his nickname by two legends, "Tweety Loc" and Reilly "Smokey" Oliver, because the way he was devoted to the Crip lifestyle since they met him. They claimed he was already born a Crip. He had "hands" and charisma that enabled him to connect with many people, he tried piecing together decade-lasting beefs at some point in his late-Crippin days. But, by then, the original intent of the Crips, at least as espoused by the gang's original founder(s), to protect communities, had fractured. On the bleak corner of Magellan Ave and Bay City Avenue is a drab pink, two-story apartment building— 4826 E. Magellan Ave.— complete with runaway weeds, peeling paint, three rusty barbecue grills and a large cart labeled Jim's Hot Dogs, all nestled against a ratty chain-link fence. It was here on a warm December night in 2021 when CeeCee Gibson took his last breath. His daughter and caretaker, Monique Gibson, came inside his room late at night for a routine check-up. Gibson was on hospice for stage 4 lung cancer. She panicked after realizing he was no longer breathing, then immediately rushed him to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Since Blue Baby's death, the street battles between WCVCG and other West Los street gangs have been among the deadliest in Los Santos, if not San Andreas. So, at CeeCee Gibson's funeral, it was a sign of upmost respect when some Vespucci 13 & Del Perro Piru veterans showed up to pay their respect to Blue Baby. "You don't find better people than Blue," said original Del Perro Piru member "Lazy Ru," who mulled about the church lobby with other Pirus and Sureños. "I have the up-most respect for him. He brought people together. Look around. I hope the younger people can learn from him." Another triple OG Piru said the same. "I love him," said Martín "Zombie" Yepes. "Regardless of the beef between the two hoods, he was my friend." "Smokey" Oliver, who with Antoniette Matthews and the love of Rayford's life, Janette Parker, was at his side when he died, said he hoped the outpouring of respect would spread throughout the city. "We need to all come together." The funeral began with two scripture readings, one for the Old Testament, Psalms 23, and one from the New Testament, Peter 5. His obituary was read by Priest Jerome of South L.S., and then a video was played. Sprunk, the soda company, did a very brisk business at Gibson's funeral, especially during that video tribute which played George Clinton's December 1982 hit "Atomic Dog" as background music. When the lyrics at the top of this story rang out, there were some dry eyes in the church, but not very many. It’s always a memorable scene when men with 18-inch biceps who’ve done 18 years in Twin Towers Correctional Facility get teary-eyed. Blood On The Beach Law enforcement officials in Los Santos have charged six alleged gang members with committing four homicides, multiple shootings and various other crimes in a pocket of West L.S. hit hard by the city's recent surge in violence. Police said all six men— identified in charging documents as members of the Westcoast Village Crips— regularly committed violence in furtherance of the gang and in retaliation for threats to its members, instilling fear and attempting to assert control in neighborhoods including Vespucci Canals and La Puerta. Among its victims were individuals whom the gang believed to be members of rival Bloods sets and whom it conspired to kill; prosecutors alleged. One was a 57-year-old bystander killed when the men opened fire at a rival on a scooter, and another was killed when they opened fire into a crowd of people on the beach's shoreline, prosecutors alleged. "This was a gang that was terrorizing several communities," said Capt. Victor Gonzalez, commander of the LSPD Vespucci Bureau's Homicide Division. "It's the gang life, and part of what they try to do is spread fear and influence." L.S. County Dist. Atty. Pablo Gascón, whose office filed a raft of charges against the men, including murder and conspiracy to commit murder, said he is "committed to making sure there are serious consequences for anyone who lacks compassion for another human life," adding that his office was working with the families of the victims to provide "trauma-informed services." The accused are Tyrese Brown, 19; Donjae Lindsey, 19; Oday Fowler, 23; Mario Kitchens, 26; Bruce Mitchell, 26; Javion Richardson, 34. All are residents of L.S., police said. Police arrested five of the men in a series of raids carried out by multiple agencies, including the LSPD and the L.S. County Sheriff’s Department. The one other— had managed to evade capture as of late the following week the other five were arrested. "We couldn’t locate him on the day we served the warrant," Gonzalez said. In addition to the arrests, the LSPD said police recovered eight firearms and "other evidence related to multiple crimes" during the raids. Gonzalez would not specify what that additional evidence included. The homicide victims whose deaths police are attributing to the gang members, all of whom were fatally shot and killed in West L.S., include Arron Jameson, 18, killed in Vespucci Beach; Anthony Woods, 57, killed in Del Perro; Timothy Lee, 24, killed in front of Vespucci Suites in La Puerta; Kodi Jones, 23, and Erika Mixon, 24, both killed in Del Perro; and Dorian Feemster, 29, killed in Vespucci Beach, prosecutors and police said. In addition to the killings, LSPD officials said the suspects had been linked to multiple other shootings, attempted murders, assaults, robberies and stolen vehicles. The Sheriff's Department did not respond to a request for comment. Prosecutors alleged the defendants began killing people after one of their own was gunned down on the evening of Sept. 26, 2020. Brown and another Westcoast Village Crips were outside Brown's home on Magellan Avenue when a member of the Del Perro Piru gang shot at them, according to court records. Brown wasn't hit, but the other man— identified in coroner's records as Dekion Garner, 21— was killed. What followed, prosecutors alleged, was a series of retaliatory shootings that targeted people who belonged to— or were mistakenly believed to be affiliated with— various Bloods gangs in West Los Santos, in some cases leaving bystanders dead and wounded. Present-Day VCG By the mid-1980s, when the supply of cocaine and the development of cheaply processed "crack" began to spread through urban areas, "survival" came to mean joining the loose network of drug suppliers and salesmen, many of them older gang members using their connections to expand their business. The Westcoast Village Crips, now claiming specific neighborhood boundaries in a manner unthinkable in the early 1970s, had de facto control of who sold drugs on the street or through rock houses. Poor youngsters who might not have cared about "gangbanging" but wanted to make fast money through drugs realized that they needed to pledge at least surface loyalty to a neighborhood's gang if they wanted a piece of the action. Regardless, the Westcoast Village Crip Gang became nothing more than a new urban gang who used drug dealing as their main source of income like many other street gangs. Gibson, who died from lung cancer in 2021, was by most accounts in and out of jail too often to make an imprint. Gradually, new cliques within the WCVC street gang began to sprout. With more cliques of younger adolescents came newer confrontations. With confrontations came notoriety. County juvenile camps became training and recruitment grounds. Today, according to law enforcement gang specialists, there are fewer than 60 members or “associates” of the Westcoast Village Crips— young men on the fringe. The older members that are now inactive remain in TTCF, serving the rest of their life in prison for crimes committed over the years. The gang has calmed down due to recent indictments and murders of key members over the years, with the younger members and newer generation becoming the face of the gang and doing anything to make a name for themselves.

Los Santos, San Andreas – A government excellent jury has restored an overriding arraignment charging 10 affirmed individuals from the North Side Playboy Gangster Crips in Morningwood with racketeering and medication intrigues, murder and attack with a hazardous weapon in guide of racketeering, burglary, and related guns charges. The supplanting arraignment was returned on July 20, 2020, and unlocked upon the capture of six of the respondents. Four different respondents were at that point in care. The overriding arrangement was reported by San Andreas Attorney for the District of Los Santos Payton P. Sutton; Special Agent in Charge Martin Edwards of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Los Santos Field Office; and Commissioner Keonte Edwards of the Los Santos Police Department. S.A. Attorney Payton P. Sutton expressed, "This is the second government prosecution recorded in a little while charging Los Santos gangsters who threaten their neighborhoods with drug managing, firearm savagery, and witness terrorizing. We keep on uncovering the drivers of vicious wrongdoing and savage medication management and consider responsible individuals who carry them to our roads. These respondents currently face a very long time in government jail, where there are no suspended sentences or parole—ever. What's more, witness terrorizing and counter won't go on without serious consequences—period. We need the network's assistance to proceed with these endeavors." "Individuals from the North Side Playboy Gangster Crips utilized viciousness as their calling card, departing that card everywhere in this neighborhood with an objective of flooding the roads with dread while they attempted to destroy our areas. We can't let them pull it off," said Martin Edwards, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Los Santos Field Office. "These arrangements make an impression on all gangsters in West Los Santos and past – we will be tireless in our quest for brutal gangsters who have attacked networks like La Alturas Heights and the Morningwood neighborhood for a really long time." The North Side Playboy Gangster Crips were a rough subset of the african-american gang that worked in the city and in restorative offices in Los Santos and somewhere else. For a long time, the North Side Playboy Gangster Crips controlled the medication exchange specific domains in Los Santos City, including the region around the convergence between Prosperity Street and South Liberty Street in West Los Santos (the “Morningwood neighborhood"), the zone around the crossing point between Blvd Del Perro Street and Cougar Avenue (the "La Alturas area"). La Alturas Apartments: The North Side Playboy Gangster Crips started in Morningwood, Los Santos during the 2010s, and got their name from the complex located in Morningwood, where they were framed. Inside the Playboy Gangster Crips, different clubs arose compared to various neighborhoods in Los Santos, for example, the Morningwood Gangster Crip in West Los Santos and the North Side Rabbit Gang In North Los Santos. Ultimately, the North Side Playboy Gangster Crips spread the nation over, and they got pervasive in Los Santos starting during the 2010s. The North Side Playboy Gangster Crips were coordinated progressively, with individuals climbing the positions from "TYG’z" (Tiny Young Gangster), to "TG’z" (Tiny Gangster), to "OTG’z" (Original Tiny Gangsters), etc. NorthSide Playboy Gangster Crips individuals were needed to keep certain standards of lead. Individuals who abused these standards or who defied a request from a better person were oppressed by disciplinary measures called "sanctions," which went from fines to kill. Infringement that were deserving of homicide included "squealing" (i.e., helping out law requirement); "homosexuality"; and killing an individual Crip without a "greenlight" (i.e., approval and endorsement from the gang administration). As per the 12-tally overriding arraignment, from at any rate 2019 through the date of the supplanting prosecution, the respondents took an interest in a racketeering intrigue identified with their group exercises, which included homicide, burglary, drug appropriation, witness altering, and witness counter. The overriding prosecution asserts that the acting head of the Morningwood Playboy Gangster Crips in Los Santos was Cameron Hookins, who was alluded to as a "TG’z" of the group. In or around 2019, Hookins traveled to Los Santos to meet with East Coast heads of the North Side Playboys and gain their official endorsement for his Morningwood Gangster Crip set in Los Santos. The Morningwood Gangster Crip worked road level medication dispersion "shops" in Los Santos, disseminating heroin, cocaine, rocks, and pot, among other controlled substances. Non-individuals who endeavored to sell drugs in the Morningwood Gangster Crip regions were focused on viciousness by Morningwood Gangster Crip individuals. The group's essential medication shops were situated in the Morningwood neighborhood (which the Morningwood Gangster Crip viewed as their base camp), the Morningwood area, and the La Alturas Apartment Complex. The North Side Playboy Gangster Crips supposedly utilized online media sites to declare their case to specific medication regions, threaten rival gangs and observers against the pack, upgrade the North Side Playboy Gangster Crips' status, and improve singular individuals' status inside the group. Individuals from the North Side Playboy Gangster Crips posted photos and rap recordings to these web-based media sites in which they paraded guns and took steps to slaughter the individuals who disrupted the general flow of the gang. As nitty gritty in the overriding prosecution, the respondents offered sedates and submitted thefts to bring in cash for the endeavor. Individuals from the group supposedly bought, kept up, and coursed guns, which they used to submit murders and burglaries, and to additional their medication dealing movement. Further, the overriding prosecution charges that from July 2019 through December 2019, individuals from the North Side Playboy Gangster Crips plotted to kill individuals from the Jackson Avenue drug dealing association, whose region the North Side Playboy Gangster Crips had dominated.

40 AVALON GANGSTER CRIP Fortieth Street Swanging A's History, Baby Avalon Crips The 40 Avalon Gangster Crip (40AGC) street gang were formed in the mid-1980s. The father-set for all the Avalon Gangster Crips was founded by Darrell Peterson also known as "The Godfather of Crips" in the Avalon Gardens Projects. Darrell Peterson broke away from the Eastside Crips like many others after Raymond Washington was incarcerated. The influence of the 88 Avalon Garden Crips trickled down onto various other areas as time went by. The Red Door was an abandoned house in Rancho that was dubbed a hang-out spot for the youth in the 1970s. Fights, gambling, and other mischievous events would happen at the Red Door. A large majority of the youth who hanged at the Red Door would later form the Avalon Baby Crips, an off-shoot of the Avalon Garden Crips that Peterson formed. In the 1970s all the Crip gangs in South Central were at peace and altercations would never escalate past fist fights up until the 1980s. Five Tray Avalons, The Businessmen The Businessmen were one of the few drug groups in South Los Santos in the 1980s. Many of the founders of the Businessmen were Avalon Baby Crips who were heavy into the drug trade, while others were from surrounding gangs. They controlled a large portion of the Rancho area in their heyday. The Businessmen, Five Deuce Broadway's Whitey Enterprises, and the Four Tray Gangster Crip's (formerly known as Four Tray Avalon) Third World were originally in a friendly competition for the drug trade in South LS at the time. Lil C-Note from 52 Broadway Gangster Crip was killed by a younger Four Tray member during a football game at BJ Smith Park. The slaying of a respected Broadway led to the start of a war between the Broadways and Four Tray Avalons. The 53 Avalons remained neutral as long as they could. When the Five Tray Avalons would attend parties with the Four Trays, they would blatantly disrespect the Broadways. The Five Tray Avalons were forced to fight with both gangs due to trying to remain neutral and defending either side up until the Four Trays were fed up and dropped their Avalon banner. The Four Trays created the term 'moving' for the Gangster Crip card and out of spite the Avalons say that they are 'swanging' rather than 'moving'. The O-Zone, 40 Avalons A portion of Rancho by Jamestown Street and Macdonald Street went by the O-Zone. This area was controlled by a separate clique outside of Whitey Enterprises, Third World, and the Businessmen. The O-Zones gravitated more to the Five Tray Avalons and became the 40 Avalon Gangster Crips. The 40 Avalons had a much closer relationship with the Four Trays which took much longer to break in comparison to the Five Trays. The Four Tray Gangster Crips began to resent the 40 Avalons for siding with the Five Trays and they were immediately brought into the war. The war between the 40 Avalons became a much more violent one in comparison to the Five Tray and Four Tray war. As gang violence became more prevalent, the drug cliques began to be less lenient on drug territory. Many of the original crews would start to favorite one particular gang rather than allowing gang members from all over to get money. The drug money that at one time was used to buy flashy cars and jewelry began to be used to purchase firearms to retaliate against rival gangs. The Businessmen lasted for about four different generations and after the Baby Businessmen they fizzled out. The O-Zones eventually followed suit and began to solely push the Avalon banner. The drug war later became a full fledged gang war with causalities stemming from retaliation rather than turf. You were either from Five Deuce Broadways, Five Tray Avalon, or Four Tray Gangster Crip. Modern Times, The Death of Lady Swang In comparison to the Five Trays and other Avalon sets, the 40 Avalons are much smaller. They often frontline many of the wars the Avalons have taken part in, and as a result have lost various members. The younger generation have taken on the name YSA, also known as the Young Squad Avalons. These members have shown to be more prone to drug use and less money oriented. With heavy gentrification and arrests occurring within the ranks of the 40 Avalons, it is safe to assume that they are one indictment away from completely being dismantled. The 40 Avalons are recently coming off the death of Deandra Hill, also known as Lady Swang to gang members alike. On November 6th, 2021, Deandra was murdered on Carson Avenue in the middle of the night. It was rumored that the shooting came from retaliation from a 66 East Coast Crip she set-up to be robbed. The death of Lady Swang catapulted their war with 66ECC. It would be shortly after that a prominent member from ECC would be shot & killed Downtown Los Santos at a nighttime car show. As of 2022, the gang is primarily beefing with various bloods, Neighborhood Crips, Gangster Crips, & Sureno sets. Remaining small in numbers as of lately. The 40 Avalon Gangster Crips have seldomly been able to let their guard down and has instilled a militarized program to prevent any more deaths within the set. The program was originally conceptualized by the 88 Avalon Garden Crips, who at the time were in a heated on-going war with the 87 & 97 Gangster Crip. The idea behind it was pushed by The God Father, pretty much enacting martial law in his own neighborhood, giving woman and children a curfew at 6:30PM. They were also told to stay away from windows or their front doors because they feared their rivals would do a drive-by. This was passed down to the other Avalon sets who were in active wars.

Nothing But Trouble Nothing But Trouble Gangster Crips (NBTGC) also known as Trouble Gang are an African-American falls gang that falls under the Trouble Gangster Crips located on the eastside of South Los Santos in the district of North Rancho. They are close allies with 52 Hoover gangster crips and sometimes this alliance is called 51-duece crips. They are actively at war with rollin 50s which resulted in many casualties. They also beef with all the Neighborhoods due to their bitter hatred for them. They protect their communities from racism against African Americans, disrputive politics, and unjust socialism by urban warfare. The Trouble Gangster Crips falls under the Gangster Crips (3x) also known as the Moving Gang. The Gangster Crips (3x) also known as Trays or Movin Gangs primarily consists of several individual African-American street gangs, based out of South Central, Los Angeles, California who fall under the Gangster Crips card that are loosely connected to the Eight Tray Gangster Crips. As soon as the conflict between the Rollin 60's Neighborhood Crips and the Eight Tray Gangster Crips began in 1979, neighborhoods in the east and west of 110 Freeway in Los Angeles found themselves choosing sides and aligning themselves with either one of the two gangs. Most of the neighborhoods in the east of the 110 Freeway were friendly towards the Eight Tray Gangster Crips and adopted the Gangster Crips cards and joined them in the battle against all Neighborhood Crips and Blood gangs. The rivalry between the Gangster Crips and the Neighborhood Crips has caused more Crip casualities than any war with the Blood or Piru sets, but they are known to rival each other at times as well. In 2009, the Trouble Gang made the headlines, when Jason Wilder and Ronnie F. Onley also known on the streets as 007 (Double O7) both active members of the Trouble Gang shot and killed Keith Moore who was affiliated with the 55 Neighborhood Crips which are one of Trouble Gangsters main enemy.
