Florencia 13 is a gang with roots in South Central Los Santos dating back to the 1940s in the Florence-Firestone District, originally formed to protect it's own people from surrounding and much larger black gangs who used to target Mexican-American residents living in the area, now sports over 2,000 members with cliques all around South Central Los Santos, West Los Santos and multiple other counties. The gang got its name from the Spanish pronunciation of Florence, the main street the runs through a majority of the gangs turf and also the name of the song by the Paragon's that members often called in to radio stations to play to let people know Florencia members were posted up. Florencia adopted the 13 in the 1960s after gangs in Southern Los Santos began pledging their allegiance to the Mexican Mafia in growing numbers, the gang's main motives quickly shifted and saw them gradually grow in to one of the largest Sureno gangs in Los Santos. War With The East Coast Crips A beef that started over members of ECC running off on a drug deal turned in to a two decade long war between the two gangs that saw countless bodies dropped in the streets of Los Santos. After Arturo Castellanos, a shotcaller from Florencia, sent out a message that members or Florencia were to cleanse the area of the neighboring East Coast Crips, chaos embroiled South Central with bodies from both sides dropping weekly at certain points in the war, which came to an end in 2020 after shotcallers from both gangs brought their people together to call a truce. Operation Joker’s Wild A large investigation was underwent during the early 2000's, looking in to the gangs reputation of drug trafficking, extortion and racially motivated murders targeting gang affiliated and innocent black people in the area which resulted in 102 members of the gang being listed in indictments in 2007. 96 were eventually taken in to custody and as of 2009, 94 of those were charged with crimes ranging from drug trafficking to murder, the rest having either been convicted, plead guilty, fled the country or even died during the investigation. Present Day Modern Day Enemies Florencia's main rival until recently was the East Coast Crips however they've maintained several other beefs along the years, mainly with Playboys 13, 38 Street Gang and 18th Street, the gang had tension with a lot of Watt's varrios in the 1950's, however most of those gangs have now formed in to other gangs or have gone defunct but they continue to maintain their beef with newer sets, their most known being with the Grape Street Crips who didn't take a liking to Florencia trying to push in to the area and claim turf. Numbers within the gang continue to rise to the present day, currently being one of the 3 largest Mexican gangs in South Central Los Santos. Florencia 13 has undergone several gang injunctions over the years but due to how big the area their turf actually covers, the gang continues to function and recruit the youth in the area, often preying on those from rough upbringings or people in search of acceptance who are willing to do anything to fit in, knowing the area they grew up in puts a huge target on their backs. The infamous Charleston projects are home to the 85th Street Locos and the Gangster Lokas, two cliques whose numbers and structure have been shaken up by joint police efforts to curb gang violence. As of 2023, both Davis cliques are rumored to be led by veteran gang bangers from within different institutions of the San Andreas justice system. Some reports claim only reckless young teenagers and adults remain.

Salvador "Joker" Espinar, a teenage gang member of a street gang called Florencia 13. Salvador "Joker" Espinar is a 15 year old kid born and raised in Davis around the Charleston Projects. Growing up, Salvador had a very rough lifestyle and his financial state wasn't good. His mom would work 2 jobs just to put food on the table and Salvador usually had to rely on eating regular snacks and ramen noodles every time his mom couldn't afford some real food. His mom has no real help around the house considering she doesn't have a husband anymore and he is no where to be found. Salvador was always bullied at school because of his atrocious clothing that was from the thrift store. He often felt really sad but as it kept happening he learned to not care about what people say anymore. As Salvador got into his teenage years, he started to hangout with some people in his neighborhood hoping to find a loyal friendship. He started to get comfortable with some of the people around his neighborhood because they accepted him and showed him loyalty. Most of the people were going through the same thing as Salvador anyways and they also dealt with terrible financial situations. Some of the people in Salvador's neighborhood were gang members apart of the street gang "Florencia 13." It is a Mexican street gang and Salvador realized that once he seen his neighborhood covered in gang-related tagging's. Salvador was introduced into the gang life by some of his friends who were already included in it. He started to sell hard drugs on the streets and he'd also scam people for money. He started to get HOOKED to this life and he was seeing how much money he made from this. He started to help his mom out more and he'd lie to her saying he found a real job somewhere... Salvador was also defending his territory by fighting off enemies that would troop down to his neighborhood. After a couple of months being around the street gang, he later got his put-on which means that he is an official member of the street gang. He was jumped by 3 males while another male counted to 13 as Salvador was getting beat up. After the beating, Salvador was congratulated and given the nickname "Joker" which was probably given to him because a lot of people would laugh at some of the crazy things he'd say. He was also apart of one of the newer cliques called "85th Tiny Hustlers" which was dedicated to doing schemes related to earning money, specifically drug dealing.
