The Eastside of South Central is home to the humble, working class of Los Santos. Many of LS's history is found in this area due to many of its buildings originating in the early to mid twentieth century. Due to this area being the most Northern part of Eastern South Central, there are smaller numbered streets, which denotes the name "Low Bottoms." Other than the community aspect of the Low Bottoms, this area is also known to the most violent and treacherous gangs in South LS. Blood gangs like the Rolling 20's Outlaw Bloods, Rolling 30's Bloodstone Pirus, All For Crime Bloods, Rolling 40's Bloodstone Pirus, Bloodstone Villains, and the Pueblo Bishop Bloods dominate the area as compared to the Crip gangs in the area. There is also a strong presence of Hispanic gangs in the area, such as the Primera Flats 13, 38th Street, Clanton 14th Street, Ghetto Boyz 13, Mid City Stoners 13, East Side 13, and Locos Park 13. This racial divide in the area has formed numerous bloody rivalries between the African Americans and Latinos in the area. Due to this, many African American gangs in the area push or claim "MK" or Mexican Killa, and vice versa for the Hispanic gangs in the area. The Eastside Rolling 20's Outlaw Bloods or Eastside Outlaws (OLS) are a majority African-American gang located on the Eastside of southern LS. Their territory stretches from 20th Street to Jefferson Boulevard, located in between Main Street and Central Avenue. Due to popular belief, the Eastside Outlaws and the Neighborhood Rolling 20's Bloods are often grouped together, despite them being two completely different gangs. The truth is— the two gangs are completely unrelated and are on two different areas/side of town, with the Eastside Outlaws being located in the Low Bottoms and the Neighborhood Rolling 20's Bloods being located in the West Adams area. The Rolling 20's Outlaw Bloods are strong allies with Rolling 30's Bloodstone Pirus, Neighborhood Rolling 20's Bloods, and the Bloodstone Villains. For the most part, they are neutral with many other blood gangs in the area, due to the politics with their allies. Their rivals in the area include the 4 Pacc Crips, Avalon Gangster Crips, Broadway Gangster Crips, and their most bitter Mexican rivals the East Side Trece or East Side 13. In areas outside of the Low Bottoms, the Eastside Outlaws are also rivals to all Neighborhood Crip (2x) gangs and most Gangster Crip (3x) gangs. In modern times, the new generation of the Rolling 20's Outlaw Bloods have found different ways to represent their neighborhood as well profit off of their neighborhood. They can be spotted sporting apparel from Major League Baseball teams like the Baltimore Orioles, Texas Rangers, and Boston Red Sox. Outside of tangible representation, the Outlaws are also responsible for a decent amount of weapon and drug operations in the area. Much of the distribution of drugs like marijuana, cocaine, codeine cough syrup, heroin, and opioids are at the hands of the Eastside Outlaws. In addition, the conflicts in the area have remained the same over the course of years. There is still strong racial tension in the area, racially dividing the black and brown communities in the Low Bottoms even more. One major event that led to the increasing racial wars in the area was a tragedy known as the 49th Street Massacre. Allegedly the massacre was a response to the murder of a member of the Rolling 30's Bloodstone Pirus, who's name is going to be disclosed. In retaliation, a member of the Bloodstones took it upon himself to go to 49th street in the Low Bottoms and open fire on a group of Hispanic people, which included a child. Allegedly, he stood over the child also. It was also found that later that night, he also killed another Hispanic man in the area to top of the murders he had committed earlier that day. This event would spark an ongoing war between the East Side 13's and the Rolling 30's Bloodstone Pirus, which dragged the Eastside Outlaws into it due to them having a strong alliance with the Bloodstones. There have been numerous bodies on both sides, resulting in a never-ending cycle of hatred between the two sides. The Bloods gang was formed initially to go against the influence of the Crips in Los Santos. The rivalry dates back to the 1960s when Dedrick Reynolds and several other Crips confronted Pierre and Khalil Homan, students at P.R.I.D.E. High School in Los Santos, San Andreas. In response to the attack, Rob, who lived in Chamberlain, established the Piru street-gang, the first "Bloods" street gang. Homan established the West Piru street-gang. The Bloods street-gang was initially formed to provide members protection from the Crips. Many of the non-Crip street-gangs used to call one another "blood". On June 17, 1972, shortly after a concert 20 youths belonging to the Crips attacked and robbed Eric Garnett Jr. outside of Vinewood Palladium. Garnett was beaten to death after he refused to give up his Air Jordans. The sensational media coverage of the crime and the continued assaults by the Crips increased their notoriety. Several non-Crips gangs formed during this period were no match for the Crips and they became concerned with the escalating Crip attacks. The Pirus, Black P. Stones, Lynne Park Boys and other gangs not aligned with the Crips often clashed with the Crips. On August 12, 1972, three months after Garnett's murder, LaTrae "Gator" Garret was murdered by a Westside Crip. This marked the first Crips murder against another gang member and motivated non-Crip street-gangs to align with each other. The Brims struck back on September 9, 1972, by murdering John Wright, an original Westside Crip. By late 1972, the Pirus held a meeting in their neighborhood to discuss growing Crips pressure and intimidation. Several gangs that felt victimized by the Crips joined the Piru Street Boys to create a new federation of non-Crips neighborhoods. This alliance would transform into the "Bloods". The Pirus are therefore considered to be the original founders of the Bloods.

EASTSIDE BLOODSTONE VILLAINS The East Side Blood Stone Villains [BSV, ES BSV, Villains] are a predominately African-American street gang located on the Eastside of Los Santos in an area commonly referred to as the Low Bottoms, or Evil Side 50s. The East Side (E/S) Blood Stone Villains are a long-standing African American street gang located in the southeast of Los Santos, San Andreas. Their neighborhood spreads from 50th Street to East Forum Drive.; a thoroughfare located in the heart of their territory. The Blood Stone Villains are a combination of three separate cliques: The 52nd Street Bloodstone Villains, 56th Street Bloodstone Villains, and the 57th Street Bloodstone Villains. The gang is filled with all different types of races such as Latino, Asian, and African-American with some members of the gang even being white. The gang has been around since the late 1970’s they were one low and were on the verge of going defunct I guess you could say, but recently in the last couple of years, the membership of the gang has continued to grow with the younger generation beginning to gangbang and push the Blood Stone Villians gang. Members of the gang can be seen on Social Media from time to time as the younger generation is also on Instagram dissing and taunting their enemies. Acting Attorney Kemonte Grant announced on Tuesday the indictment of 12 members and associates of the “Blood Stone Villains” or “BSV,” a violent gang linked to crimes and shootings that have taken place in the Southside of Los Santos. These crimes and charges were linked to several violent acts and crimes including a November 2019 murder of a 43-year-old man, the attempted murder of a Los Santos Police Officer in January 2020, and a June 2021 shooting that wounded several innocent people on Roy Low Street, including a 12-year-old boy who was critically injured. “We can and must end gun violence in Los Santos, and this latest indictment reflects our commitment to doing so,” said Attorney Kemote Grant. “We are using every tool and resource at our disposal to keep the residents of Los Santos safe. ”In late 2019, acting on intelligence from the Los Santos Police Department about alleged gun violence by “BSV” members, the Division of Criminal Justice Gangs & Organized Crime Bureau began investigating the gang and its alleged leader, Joshua White, a/k/a Jojo” or “Jo" The investigation led to numerous arrests last summer as violence linked to BSV escalated during the COVID pandemic. Investigators—who had already arrested Jojo and five associates in connection with the December 2019 murder, the attempted murder of the police officer, and another prior shooting—arrested 10 more alleged BSV members beginning two days after that shooting. It is alleged that the Blood Stone Villains, under the leadership of Jojo, controlled heroin and cocaine distribution in the area around the Del Perro area in Los Santos. Jojo allegedly gave orders to lower-ranking BSV members to carry out acts of violence against rivals on behalf of the gang. In addition to being charged with other defendants in first-degree counts of murder, attempted murder, and conspiracy to commit murder, Jojo is charged with first-degree leader of a narcotics-trafficking network and first-degree promoting organized street crime. “NIGGA I'M FROM EVILSIDE" The Evil Side 50s was founded after one of the members passed away due to a shootout with the Los Santos Police Department. The Evil Side 50s is a predominately African-American street gang subset of the known gang. This subset is a small clique made up of younger individuals in the gang. They stay on the same turf as the gang does. Although they operate differently, they share the same enemies and allies that the current gang does. They are young affiliates who have no OG to look up to. They are hotheaded and ruthless. The Evil Side 50s are trying to find their guidance and will do anything it takes to make money. Members of Evil Side are mostly young teenagers who are extremely reckless and will go to any length to impress others and demonstrate the gang lifestyle. They took the name Evil Side after a member from the set passed away, they wanted to continue the loved member’s legacy and continue to keep his name and legacy around so that’s how the subset came around. They are known to operate on 50th Street in the Eastside. Members will do whatever it takes to make money around the hood and also will do whatever they have to do to prove themselves around the hood. They are big on respect and will do whatever they have to do to show the OG’s around the hood they are meant for this and that they want to be a part of this dangerous lifestyle of gangbanging. Current members of the Evil Side 50s have participated in crimes such as robberies, shootings, and even credit card fraud scams due to their attempt to come up and make money by any means they possibly can. They are usually always together or around in a group you will rarely find or see members from the Evil side by themselves as they tend to move in groups I guess you could say. The subset of the gang includes members from the ages of 14-19 as most of the members in the subset are fairly young and still new to this gangbanging life due to them recently getting their officials and put-on to the Blood Stone Villains. V.S.O.P The Bloodstone Villains have an Alliance with the surrounding East Side Blood gangs which form V.S.O.P. The gangs are listed as follows Bloodstone Villains, Mad Swan Bloods, Rollin 20 Outlaw Bloods, and the Bloodstone Pirus. Other blood gangs the Bloodstone Villains are friendly towards are the Denver Lanes and the Bounty Hunter Bloods. Under this Alliance they are at war with every Crip gang on the Eastside with includes the Avalon Gangster Crips, Four Pacc Gangster Crips, East Coast Crips, and the Neighborhood Crips (NHC), and some Gangster Crips. Back in the late 70’s The Bloodstone Villains used to be close allies with the Pueblo Bishop Bloods. The alliance would come to an end when a Pueblo Bishop Blood killed a high-ranking Blood Stone Villain member execution style, with that happening sparked an ongoing war between the two blood gangs.

Some 42's and some 43's along with some out-of-town Trays gathered together for a music video on a hood day, so you can only imagine how small their hood is. — Nickname given to the East Side of South Central Los Santos because of it's relatively low-numbered streets. The 40s Gangster Crips (40GC) also known as the "4 Pacc Crips" consist of three street gangs located on the East Side of Los Santos, you could also say they are basically located in the Low Bottoms. The 40s Gangster Crips or "4 Pacc" is a reference to an alliance, between the 42 Gangster Crips and the 43 Gangster Crips, and also the 48 Gangster Crips. The 40s Gangster Crips are part of the Gangster Crip card of course and are under the Trays which is 3x or also known as "Movin". FOUR DEUCE GANGSTER CRIPS— The Four Deuce Gangster Crips a/k/a the 42nd Street Crips, are the smallest out of the three gangs but they still hold their own in terms of activity and straight-up mashing on other sets in Los Santos. Their section is mainly in and around E 41st Pl, Naomi Ave, E 42nd Pl, and of course E 42nd St. You will also occasionally catch them hanging around the Central Ave Jazz Park area. They share the same enemies with the Four Eight Gangster Crips, and the Four Tray Gangster Crips. Ironically though they are known to beef with other gangs under the Gangster Crip card especially the Rollin 40s Avalon Crips and the Broadway Gangster Crips. The 40s Gangster Crips as a whole also feud with the Rollin 20s Outlaw Bloods, All For Crime Bloods, Playboy Surenos 13, Hangout Boyz 13, and a large number of Hispanic Sureno 13 Gangs. Not to mention they also beef with the 30 BloodStone Pirus, the 53 Avalon Gangster Crips, the 40 BloodStone Pirus, the BloodStone Villains, and the 52 Pueblo Bishop Bloods. Despite being a very small crip hood in LA, they are known to be in other places / states as well. You can find 4-Pacc in Atlanta, New York, Memphis, and even Houston, every hood day the 4-Pacc Crips from all around come together to celebrate. GANG INJUNCTION— On December 19, 2004, a gang injunction was filed against the 40s Gangster Crips; The 42 Gangster Crips and the 43 Gangster Crips along with the 48 Gangster Crips. In an attempt to minimize criminal activity in this region of Los Santos, by banishing all communications between the three gangs. The gang injunction also included a hangout of the 40s Gangster Crips "Gilbert Lindsay Park" (Recreation Center), which is located on Avalon Blvd, between 42nd Place and San Pedro Ave, in the heart of the 4-Deuce Gangster Crips neighborhood. The gang injunction had no significant effect on the trio alliance though. "Judge Bars 3 Gangs Around Los Santos Park LST ARCHIVES FROM A TIMES STAFF WRITER Seeking to restrict the activities of three Los Santos gangs, city officials Monday announced the establishment of a 7 1/2-square-mile “safety zone” that bars gang members from assembling within its boundaries. The 42nd, 43rd and 48th Street Gangster Crips used Gilbert Lindsay Park in the 4200 block of Avalon Boulevard as a “personnel department” to pick up crews to rob banks across the region and the country, said City Atty. Rocky Delgadillo, who joined Mayor James K. Hahn at a news conference at the park. “This park has been anything but a playground,” Delgadillo said. “This is ground zero for the Crips.” Los Santos Superior Court Judge David Yaffe granted a preliminary injunction Jan. 18 establishing the safety zone bounded by Washington Boulevard on the north, Florence Avenue on the south, Alameda Street on the east and the Harbor Freeway on the west. Gang members are prohibited from associating with one another within the safety zone. Violators face misdemeanor charges that could bring six months in jail. Members of the three street gangs have been responsible for four homicides in the last year, said Capt. Sean Kane of the Los Santos Police Department’s Newton Division. Despite the protests of some activists, authorities have successfully sought 23 gang injunctions throughout Los Santos."
