Santiago "Shot-Gun" Salomón was born in August 5th, 1995 in the unforgiving streets of Chamberlain Heights. Born into a life with no father, just a mother who barely had two dimes to rub together Santiago grew up poor. He fell into the same category as other youngsters his age, poor with no father figure. This lead him to connect with other youngsters his age and eventually lead him to fall under the wrong foot-steps and found himself in the gang in the local area "Tortilla Flats Trece". He was only ten years old when he joined the gang "Midget Dukes". He was known for his impulses for violence and blasting off on people like a shotgun if he felt he was disrespected. Shot-Gun soon found himself garnering respect from other homies in the varrio notably Jose "Swifty" Villalobos, and Marco "Maniac" Embry and a-few others. Whenever he put in work for his people to seek retribution he was always seen grasping hold of a shotgun instead of something easier to conceal such as a handgun. Hence he garnered the name "Shot-Gun" for that reason. People in the neighborhood partly feared getting on Shot-Gun's nerves, he has slit personality disorder. The year was 2012 when Shot-Gun turned seventeen. Local law agencies soon pulled over Shot-Gun for drinking and driving without a license in his mothers boomer. He was taken into custody and sent to Twin Towers Correctional Facility (TTCF) were he served three years then was transferred into High Desert County State Prison (HCSP) were he spent time on a level three yard he was twenty years old at this time. He soon became cellies with an inmate named "Loner" at this time he was another person who made a name for himself in the same hood who was friends with Shot-gun he wasn't much older than Shot-Gun maybe by 3ish years. Him and Loner were pretty tight cell-mates. "Loner" had an altercation with some black inmates a-few days prior and tensions were running high in the prison between the Southerners and the Blacks. The blacks soon began to plan out a hit on "Loner" knowing full-well that a massive racial riot would occur because of it. Shot-Gun had his ears out, and learnt about the blacks intentions. He told his cellie "Loner" that the blacks were planning on stabbing him up then word got out to other Southerners and a riot took-place. Shot-Gun might've saved "Loner" from entering a body bag that night. "Loner" soon found himself getting released nearly a decade earlier than Shot-Gun and soon made a-huge name for himself on the streets who grew to become dominant, and extremely powerful and influential. Shot-Gun on the other hand, he found himself getting released not too long ago on November 10th, 2020 after serving eight years. (This is the backstory, and won't be edited further upon, the screen shots will elaborate on the story and evolve.)
