Overview The Sons of Samoa (SOS), is a predominantly Samoan/Polynesian Crip gang that emerged in Vespucci during the early 1980s, being one of the first Polynesian gangs to populate in the area of Vespucci. Many refugees immigrated from Samoa to Los Santos, during this time there wasn’t much of a Polynesian presence in the gang life. This changed soon as the unity and pride of the Samoans took over, the gang came up with big numbers in no time. Although they were seen by most as the friendly Usos of the neighborhood, the Sons never backed down from any established gang in the area. The Previous Generation As the gang outfit gained more light through documentaries and other media, matters only got worse. RICO cases were being built on Vespucci’s Sons of Samoa Gangster Crips (SOSGC). In 2017 the gang took tremendous blows, losing many key figures. Just like many other instances of gang violence around the world, there was retaliation. Jordan Tuigamala, a member formerly known as Uso Temper, was one of the few masterminds behind the gang. However, he wasn’t able to stay under the radar. Tuigamala found himself in a heated argument with an East Side Longos member, Oscar Garcia. The squabble turned to a shooting that left Garcia dead in front of a gas station. Tuigamala’s arrest was made in 2018. Another member of SOSGC that took a fall was Benjamin Tupua AKA Boxer. His arrest was made in the beginning of 2021, where he was caught only moments after a shooting in Vinewood that left Darren Cooper dead in his home. The Start of The Strong Beach Samoan Crips Clique The Strong Beach Samoan Crips (SBSC) clique was initially a tagbanger clique known as Strong Beach Tiny Usos, established by Davon Leiato. As teens, he and his childhood friend Richard Lafaele mobbed around Vespucci throwing up tags with others that would come and go. Eventually, the duo ended up brewing beef with the local gang Krazy Miller Boys. Davon & Richard turned to the Asian Boyz gang who also resided in the area and helped them to properly strive in Vespucci. Davon’s recklessness landed him in jail, this worked in Leiato’s favor for him to establish connections with The Other Car. All the while Lafaele was outside actively recruiting for their clique, Davon pulled his weight for the Others, gaining some rep in the jail system. He’d proven his worth to the Reps, even gaining the attention of Jordan Tuigamala, Keyholder for the Islanders. Tuigamala noticed Leiato’s drive and even heard of his tagger clique from the inside. Leiato was soon blessed in and given the moniker Trigger. The tagging clique formerly known as the Strong Beach Tiny Usos had evolved as Strong Beach Samoan Crips. Upon Trigger’s release he immediately approached Lafaele and broke the news to him, adopting the moniker Sliccy. From there on, the duo continue to grow throughout the streets of Vespucci with their new Crip affiliation. 32nd Street Culture Samoans may be big and brolic, but they’re friendly to most locals. Oftentimes Samoans hold cookouts where they make traditional recipes passed down from generations. SOS throws many functions that can bring even more life to Vespucci Beach, which they refer to as “Strong Beach”. OOC INFORMATION: Our group aims to portray a realistic Sons of Samoa set within the area of Vespucci, we prioritize quality over quantity with our portrayal and expect such from each member. This group is an auxiliary to the Other Car and is ideal for members to familiarize themselves with both concepts before considering joining. Feel free to inquire through forum PMs @TheFlippa @CJ

Three arrests, multiple guns and $25.000 worth in illegal narcotics seized by the LSPD. by John Qunios and Adam Emamdjomeh | Local 10 | June 16, 2015 After a shooting in Vespucci Beach and the murder of two men on Melanoma Street, various 911 calls have been reported shortly after, which lead to a raid of the gangs frequent hang out spot, a small apartment in Melanoma Street. The Gang Unit had already been investigating the group for several months and was able to arrest three people as a result of the raid. Allegedly, the individuals were two Shoot To Kill Asian BoyZ Crip members and one Suicide Town Crip member who ruled the streets in Melanoma with their respective groupings. In addition to the arrests of the individuals, several ounces of drugs were seized as well as smaller handguns. The Los Santos Police Department estimates the value of the products at approximately $25.000. Two of the found handguns are linked to a shooting in South Central where three rival gang members got shot and killed. But who is the Asian BoyZ Gang and what are they known for? Here is a quick run-down for one of the most violent gang in Vespucci: The Asian Boyz, also known as ABZ, is an Southeast Asian American street gang founded in the late '80s after the Tiny Raskals split up. The majority of their members were Cambodian immigrants who fled Cambodia during and after what's now known as the Cambodian Genocide. now, the Asian Boyz are being held together by a tightknit community of Southeast Asian teenagers and early adults stepping in the shoes of the generations before them. The Cambodian Genocide resulted in the killings of over two million Cambodians in the span of only 4 years. Upon fleeing their home country due to extremely brutal living conditions, refugees settled in the more affordable ghetto hoods in the state of San Andreas, particularly Vespucci. The children of these families were often bullied and discriminated against because of their race. As a result of the constant harassment from the local Hispanic and African American gangs, young Asian boys banded together to protect their own. TRG was the first Asian gang in Vespucci and when TRG split up, ABZ was formed in the late '80s. All known sub-sets of the ABZ gang in San Andreas rep Crips. They're a part of an alliance known as the Suisidal Exotic Asians (SEA) Crips. This alliance consists of Asian Boyz, Suicide Town Crips, Sons of Samoa, and Exotic Family City Crips. They're also known to be cliqued up with Insane Crips and some sub-sets of the 18th Street gang. Asian Boyz gained notoriety for what's now known as the "summer madness." It all started because of a pool hall shooting where a member of the Wah Ching shot and killed Asian Boyz member Kicker. After this shooting, Asian Boyz went on a murder spree which later became known as the "summer madness." The official death toll of the summer madness was 42, however, law enforcement officials think more people were killed. Who is responsible for the founding of one of the most violent ABZ subsets ever? It's believed that after the mentioned shooting and the killing of Asian Boyz members named Daniel N. and James B. a car rode out to the rivals set in South Central, shooting and killing the responsible shooters the same night. The friends earned the respect of the higher-ups, shortly after starting their own crew which is now growing every day and is responsible for shootings all over Vespucci Beach, the infamous Shoot To Kill Asian BoyZ. Several shootings all over Tug Street and Melanoma are being linked to STK ABZ, such as the killing of Krazy Miller Boyz affiliates Victor S., Jordan K., and female clique-leader Vivian H., as well as an old lady with no affiliation to the Krazy Miller Boyz whatsoever, leading to KMB going defunct. W/S Longo 13, one of the biggest hispanic sets and the biggest rival of STK ABZ, was also announced defunct after several shootings and a stabbing in a short period of time, resulting in the main-figures dying, it's also believed that STK ABZ is the main reason for that, however, no arrests have been made due to the lack of evidence. But STK ABZ is not only actively beefing in Vespucci, it's known that they also are responsible for shootings in the area of the Chamberlain Hills where the Rollin 20's Neighborhood Bloods are currently residing at. It's safe to say that STK ABZ is one of the most violent ABZ-subsets that currently exists, if not the most violent one ever. The Los Santos Police Department has since taken steps to prevent upcoming altercations like those that have occurred in previous years. "We hope, of course, that the violence will drop down and that the streets become a safe place for our kids again. Shoot To Kill is known as a very brutal group. Accordingly, we want to prevent the members of the SEA alliance from creating major problems. Nevertheless, we are positive about the future." informed us, Sergeant M. Hernandez of the Los Santos Police Department.
