Vespucci Beach used to be a well founded place for physical activities, shops, business and furthermore night life along the pier. Though all things change in time, good and bad. The ABZ gang was formed by Cambodian refugees in the late 80's in order to defend themselves from racial attacks. Later on, this gang was growing, and the majority of members, along with the founders, were from Cambodia. The rest of the members were from the Philippines and Vietnam. At the time, people of Cambodia were introduced to the instable economy and government, and a genocide. Even after the situation, people were seeking a better life in the States. Many happened to use their chance and they escaped their homelands. Newcomers were residing in Vespucci and formed their territory. Most of the gang members were immigrants, seeking a better life in the United States, but instead, faced brutal attacks by other Asian ethnicities. The ABZ gang was beefing with gangs such as the "East Side Longos” and "Tiny Rascal Gang", along with "Wah Ching" gangs. ABZ'S allies are the Sons of Samoa, Insane Crips, Rollin 20's Crips, and Vietnamese Boyz. The ABZ gang is functioning as a set of the large Crip gang. The gang also has other names which refer to Asian Crips, Asian Boys, 1226, or just ABZ. ABZ was led under a known figure by the name of “J Kyen” otherwise known as “Thumper”. That all changed on January 15, 2013, when Thumper was shot and murdered outside a local bar by an enemy gang from Vespucci Beach. Many members were seen at the funeral, the gang quickly and steadily fell under new leadership, "BD" or otherwise known as “Big Dave”. Big Dave was a thirty three year old Cambodian that resided directly on Cortes Street with his founding brothers, leading the affiliated into a better regime than before, clear actions, heavy handed and ultimately, level headed. This was a turning point for the community. Those inside the set known as “ABZ” have found themselves heavily respected by their peers and surrounding brothers and sisters. The gang operates fluidly alongside some of the other Crip sets among the city, and alone among their own. Their greed for money, violence, and complete claim of Cortes Street has been a heavy motivation for most members inside the said gang. Most members are involved in various robberies, car theft, indulging in copious amounts of drugs, let it be meth to coke and weed, there’s always a narcotic for a select individual in the criminal world. Numbers are not an issue when it comes to the said gang. The real competition and concerns for others come from the sheer action that the gang will go just as far as most to get their hands into any sorts of scheme or play that could result in gaining money, reputation and furthermore. Violence being a heavy aspect. Our mission is to maintain a good standard of roleplay in the Vespucci area. Portraying a realistic gang.

THE LATE 2019-EARLY 2020 ERA The death of a well known rapper by the name of Philthy P, also known as Pierre Jackson sparked headlines after he was found dead behind a huge Hotel on Alta Street and Adams Apple Boulevard due to a shooting that happened in broad daylight, there were three victims on scene, two of which were deceased upon the emergency services arriving. The rapper could barely be identified with the wounds he was inflicted with, people who saw the whole altercation go down said that the whole shooting was done in execution style, and that they've never heard that many shots go off in such a small amount of time. It was actually another victim who identified him for the Los Santos Police Department(LSPD), and after a thorough investigation led by Gang Unit(G.U) and the Robbery Homicide Division (RHD) the murderers were found and arrested for the crimes they've committed. Samuel Phala, and Cindy Pheakkley were both arrested on February 17th, and were both facing murder charges, Samuel was also facing many other charges for crimes that were attached to his murder weapon. Their trials were held on separately days, Samuel Phala took the charges to the neck and pleaded guilty due to him knowing all the proof there is against him. Although Cindy actually pinned all the charges on Samuel, and decided to give out information on what she knew about the Seaside Asian Boyz street gang for her freedom. Her cooperation led to her being introduced to the Witness Protection Program, where they moved her out of state for her own protection in threat of a retaliation from the Seaside ABZ street gang. This whole situation sparked a huge increase in patrols in the Vespucci area, and the gang injunction went down harder onto the Seaside Asian Boyz, which striked their gang related activity and membership. MODERN DAY The whole situation which sparked off of a famous rapper being killed led to the activity of the street gang to fall severely, they were also falling down when it came to competition against their enemies. Although in the current day, new affiliated members started to show their faces, although they've started to move way more careful than ever before. This new wave of gang-bangers know better than the last, and are trying to revive the whole Seaside ABZ street gang, and get back at their enemies.
