Folks Gang The Barrio Folks 13 gang started in the early 1970s as a Marijuana gang known as Marijuana Folks primarily centered around the Laguna Place area. Starting off as a gang of Mexican immigrants who liked to smoke weed, their original purpose was to provide a sense of community to their neighborhood by acting as a sort of "community watch" for the rival gangs in the area breaking into houses and picking on street vendors. Influenced by larger street gangs and members going into prison and affiliating themselves with a prison gang, they would reform into the Barrio Folks 13 gang claiming the Southside banner. Around the 1980s the Crack Epidemic broke out in Los Santos which was a major power point and profit earner for the Barrio Folks 13 gang. Taking advantage of this they began to market a major Crack Cocaine distribution ring throughout North and North Eastern Los Santos. With this came police attention where the LSPDs corrupt CRASH unit began to crack down on them, arresting younger members in possession of the drugs and interrogating them. Another issue that came with the drug business was competition, where the Barrio Folks gang would get into a dangerous conflict with Gran Vista 13 and the Vinewood Locos MS-13 clique. Shootings would occur all over Vinewood with gang members and innocent civilians being caught in the fire. Laguna Place & Spanish Avenue Although they aren't the biggest gang in Vinewood, they make up for it with the violent behavior they are known to carry with the younger members. When driving or walking through Laguna Place and Spanish Avenue in West Vinewood you'll begin to know the neighborhood because of the graffiti. LSPD and LSSD were able to document the Barrio Folks gang and their clique of younger members "Little Chicos" were responsible for over 75k in vandalism fines in the area of Laguna Place. Some of this graffiti in the area was responsible to other gangs though which were rivals to Barrio Folks 13. Gangs such as Gran Vista 13, MS-13, Parkview Piru Bloods, and other smaller tag crews. Some cliques that are known within the gang are Los Vagos Malditos, Tiny Lokos, and Lil Chicos. Operation Three Point Fork On 02/19/2012 the Los Santos Sheriff's Department's OSS Unit conducted a joint operation raid with the Los Santos Police Department GED Unit to take down prominent members of the Barrio Folks gang. Over 6 well known members and a girlfriend, three of them being notorious gang members known in the news for being accused of shootings and murders. The group of men and one woman would go down for an abundant of charges stacked on top of eachother in a RICO case indicted by the San Andreas State Courts. The men would be arrested on suspicions of being involved in Racketeering on local businesses such as gas stations, food places, and local food vendors. Another thing that a few were accused of was using Skimmers and SMS Text fraud scams by posing as Sheriff's Department members trying to collect fines for "not being present on Jury Duty". All were convicted of being involved in a methamphetamine and fentanyl trafficking ring throughout Vinewood, Los Santos. Some extra charges were placed after informants came forward pointing out 2 men and their girlfriend for being involved with the murder of a rival gang member. The Towers The Towers or otherwise known as the Laguna Place Apartment Complexes is a series of tall apartment buildings where the Barrio Folks gang lays claim to. Being a stronghold for the gang an abundance of their members live their and they've adopted the nickname "The Towers" for it. Members of the gang can be seen hanging around this area dealing drugs or spraying graffiti on the walls. Many of the apartments are ran down and infested with roaches because of their low quality living and only being used for cooking dope or hiding drugs. Most kids growing up here are bound to have a life that goes downhill being surrounded by drug dealers and drug addicts. Vinewood, Los Santos Vinewood, Los Santos is a more upscale incorporated community in the city of Los Santos. Although being known for it's extravagant clubs and tall penthouse buildings in the upper part of it. It has a dark side in the lower areas where the lesser and unemployed live. Although, in the recent years it has been better due to gentrification that came during the early 2010s. An influx of gang members have recently been making their way back into the streets after the release of gang members that lived in Vinewood and apartments going back to the cheaper rent prices due to an influx of immigrants in the newer years. With this comes kids with opportunities to prove themselves. Some are doing it to be cool while some are doing it to make money, none the less, older gang members take advantage of this immaturity and use it to brainwash the kids into thinking that what they are doing is justified. This caused a upshot of the crime rate in the Vinewood area specifically in car jackings and house invasions. You can find teenagers roaming the street wearing baggy jeans with expensive hoodies and chains on who are most likely carrying a gun as well.

Terror Town 13, formerly known as Varrio Terrorside 13, is a criminal street gang operating in the Vespucci area of Los Santos, composed mainly of Mexican-Americans. Originally starting as a tagging group named Beachside Terror under the leadership of Hopout Cueves and Joker Vargas, they ran rampant around the Vespucci area (primarily Melanoma street) whilst leaving their distinctive pieces of art along whichever blank canvas could be found; some of which can still be seen in certain areas, not yet being defaced or removed by city officials. A once somewhat innocent group founded on a shared passion of graffiti and the culture around it would quickly turn into something much more sinister after being forced into a series of territorial conflicts with other criminal groups in their proximity. Being forced to replace their spray cans for pistols, they would stand their ground and harness a reputation as something much more than just a group of friends that loved graffiti. With this newfound reputation, the group was brought under the umbrella of the Mexican Mafia, or La eMe, a powerful criminal organization that controls a vast majority of the sureno street gangs based in Los Santos, facilitating the group’s reformation from Beachside Terror into Varrio Terrorside 13. Unlike the conflicts mentioned prior Varrio Terrorside was entwined into a much more serious conflict with PEN1 or Public Enemy No. 1, a predominately white skinhead gang also based out of the Vespucci area of Los Santos. Following said conflict, Varrio Terrorside would enter a period of inactivity stemming from the deaths and incarcerations of longstanding and leading members of the group, a period of inactivity that they would not recover from until many years later when a new group would appear around Vespucci seemingly mimicking their distinctive styles of graffiti. This group led by Andrew "Nitro" Contreras and Brendan "Chino" Aranda would adopt the namesake of the crew they once grew up watching roam the streets of Vespucci as children, becoming the second generation known as Beachside Terror. The emerging crew, spearheaded by the aforementioned Contreras and Aranda, did not rise to acclaim in Vespucci without struggle and conflict. Feuds with nearby gangs, notably an existing School Yard Crips set and another Naughty Nasty Crips set, quickly taught the group that they'd need to be ruthless in order to thrive in their area. These tensions also birthed the gang's identity as being crip-killer, having lost a number of members at the hands of this reciprocated violence that still leaves a sour taste in mouths to this day. Despite showing a definite capability for violence (consequently skyrocketing the neighborhood's crime rate and keeping rent prices low), the youthful group still lacked the relevant experience and guidance to stake their claim as a force to be reckoned with. One moment in particular catapulted the gang into street notoriety. Amidst brewing tensions with a rival gang, the “Asian Boyz”, CCTV footage captured a number of masked men opening fire on a crowd. This shooting left six alleged ABZ members dead, with another two left severely injured. The footage circulated on social media and various accounts and sources claimed the murders as the work of the growing Terror Town 13 gang, although it was never confirmed by authorities and nobody was ever prosecuted for such. Orchestrated shootings like the one above are regarded as Terror Town 13’s trademark, becoming known as a gang that favors attacking as many people in one instance as possible, believing it’s best to kill numerous birds with one stone. These wide scale murders have left rival gangs, like ABZ, with no choice besides surrendering. Wiping out or forcing other factions to raise the white flag is what has allowed Terror Town 13 to stake their claim as the top gang in Vespucci.

Backstory Krazy Ass Mexicans, a tagging crew out of Hawick that began as an act of resilience against neighboring street gangs in the 1980s, became notorious for its violent and militant response to any gang or group of people that dared to challenge or bully them. In the early years of Krazy Ass Mexicans, before adopting the "13" moniker, they gained a reputation for not backing down against established rivals and neighborhoods like Big Hazard and the Maravillas. KAM had to establish their territory through hard-fought means. Krazy Ass Mexicans (KAM) were unafraid of meeting their adversaries with the same level of hostility, establishing themselves as a serious criminal gang in Los Santos, San Andreas. This hostility towards rivals helped expand their control of the local area, either by eliminating rival gangs entirely or, in rare occasions, absorbing a local rival like Fickett Street 13 into one of their cliques under KAM 13. Krazy Ass Mexicans' readiness to use violence as a tool to achieve their objectives catapulted them onto the radar not only of rival gangs but also of law enforcement. As KAM adapted and engaged in various criminal networks, the gang delved into drug trafficking and other high-stakes illegal activities. Armed with firearms and connections, KAM's members were always prepared to challenge authority, making it difficult for the LSPD to infiltrate their operations. Given that Krazy Ass Mexicans were pioneers of the tag banging concept, KAM is known for having some of the best graffiti pieces in the history of gang graffiti. By the mid-90s, KAM had fully embraced gang attributes and affiliated themselves with the Mexican Mafia, earning them the "13" moniker. Krazy Ass Mexicans are racially motivated and have a strong sense of pride in their Hispanic heritage. This strong sense of pride and their violent reputation would attract members like a magnet, helping increase their numbers and establish themselves as a serious powerhouse against the well-established hoods in their proximity by the 2000s. KAM 13, also known as KAMsters 13, has a well-documented history, being one of the more unique street gangs to emerge from the gang spike in the 1980s and 90s. KAM's history can be traced back to early discussion boards in the early 20th century and is still discussed and documented on social media sites like Reddit and YouTube to this day. As of 2024, KAM 13 resides in Hawick on Spanish Ave. Their graffiti floods the area with pride, unafraid to strike over and disrespect any gang graffiti in the area. This and their rough upbringing makes Krazy Ass Mexican 13, or the KAMsters an enemy of many, and an ally of none. KAM's racial motivation makes them an enemy of all African American gangs in the area. KAM 13 is known to indulge in criminal activities from robbery, home invasions, vandalism, homicide, weapon trafficking, drug trafficking, and much more. KAMsters are encouraged to challenge authority on walls, and any graffiti they see.

Varrio Villains, also known as Vinewood Villains 13 is a primarily Mexican-American street gang on San Vitus Boulevard. Vinewood Villains 13 originally started out as a tagging crew back in 1996, and consist of several cliques which include, San Vitus Lokos, Troubled Boyz, and Violent Lokos. Varrio Villains consist of many active members and is considered one of the largest Hispanic sets in Vinewood. As many years gone by, Vinewood Villains then grew into a Hispanic set and quickly gained reputation for being reckless in Vinewood and all around Los Santos. They participated in many illegal activities and began working with powerful organizations which include The Mexican Mafia. Varrio Villains are allies of The Mexican Mafia and fall under the Sureno 13 brand. They are rivals with 18th Street and Barrio Mojados and are actively beefing with small Crip sets in the Vinewood Area. They also claim Piru Killer, and Crip Killer due to their active feud with African-American gangs. Vinewood Villains13 are also known as Cop Killers due to their rivalry with the Los Santos Police Department, and Los Santos Sheriffs Department. Vinewood Villains also feud with other street gangs that aren't near Vinewood. In the late 1990's when the Vinewood Villains set began to affiliate themselves with the Mexican Mafia where they adopted the name Vinewood Villains 13 many other sets under the Sureno 13 brand attempted to beef with Varrio Villains which ended up in the death of Angel Gamboa, a member of Vinewood Villains 13.

Eastside Playboys 13 The Eastside Playboys 13, also known as the "Rabbit Gang," is a predominately but not exclusively Hispanic street gang established in the late 1970s on the Eastside of Los Santos and one of the subsets of Playboys 13 around the states. Throughout the years, the Playboys gang became one of the most notorious gangs in the said area, with only a few Hispanic street gangs such as Florencia 13, 38th Street, and the 18th Street gang. The majority of Playboys gang members are filled with hatred in their hearts towards their other low-income neighborhoods, like themselves. They occasionally find themselves involved in disputes over drugs, money, and gang politics. The Playboys gang has a history of engaging in illegal activities too, such as robbery, theft, car theft, and kidnapping. Although The Eastside Playboys 13 are part of the Sureños alliance and have strong ties with the Mexican Mafia, The Playboys 13 have found themselves rivalry with other southerner gangs, while the younger generation of the Playboys is less disciplined and way more violent than the older generation. This is because the older generation of the Playboys gang manipulates the younger generation by romanticizing drug abuse and gang violence. The Playboys gang has a lot of cliques around the said area, which are the Zoo Riders, also known as the Dukes of 35th, Cyclone of 42nd, and Chicos Locos of 49th. Even though these cliques are alive, the Zoo Riders, or Dukes, are the most active cliques in Eastside Playboys 13. The loss of gang members is one thing that all the street gangs in Los Santos have in common, especially the Playboys gang, where some of the members are incarcerated, killed in the streets, and sent into life imprisonment. On numerous occasions, cliques underneath the Playboys have gone defunct over the deaths of their friends or gang members. However, some cliques stand strong together, offering care, protection, and income for those who remain, and one of these cliques is the Zoo Riders or the Dukes. 35th Zoo Riders a.k.a Dukes The 35th Zoo Riders, also known as the Dukes, are one of the active cliques of Eastside Playboys 13 run by delinquent members who are capable of committing crimes in their neighborhood to show their love and loyalty to the gang. Even though the clique has Hispanic roots, the gang has African-American members because of their history. The Playboys' Zoo Riders, or Dukes, became the face of the neighborhood and made a reputation at the drug market in the streets of East Los Santos, which led them to be a threat to the other local gangs around their hood, especially the other Hispanic and black street gangs. While the Playboys gang is getting bigger and growing, these gang members are still looking up to their roots and keeping their neighborhood safe from rivalries. To date, members of the Eastside Playboys use the Playboy Rabbit logo to represent their set. Pittsburgh Pirates merch is a particular logo used amongst Playboys, representing the "P" in the gang's name. Residents and law enforcers are fully aware of the street gangs presents, though the members of the gang still show no remorse towards the evident murders and other criminal activities that they have committed. Eastside Playboys 13 is still active in the said area of East Los Santos, and according to the local Sheriff's Department, the set was the main contributor to crimes in the area.

The Artero Varrio Gangsters 13 also known by the acronym AV13 is a faction composed of predominantly Hispanic-American affiliates. AV13 is a Los Santos based street gang that operates in the Southern area of Los Santos, specifically, Roy Lowenstein and has been since its creation. The faction’s origin traces back all the way to late 1975, where the gang was first formidable for protecting newer fleets of Hispanic-Immigrants from pretty much everything in Los Santos, such as poverty, discrimination, and limited opportunities. After fleeing from their country to Los Santos, many of them, without having any family over in the area, nor any idea on where to go results in them being lost, having to stay in dangerous areas which also includes section-8 housing. After about six-years is when the AV13 gang begin to have problems with other existing street gangs located in Los Santos for example gangs such as, Inglewood Family Gangster Bloods, Bounty Hunter Bloods, and even Athen Park Bloods. Their most notable issue though, is between AV13 and Athen Park Bloods. The feud between the two, started all the way in the late 1980’s, over petty disputes. Though already having many members though, during the civil war in the 1990’s, AV13 exploded by membership due to the active civil wars in Central America, in particular, El Salvador & Guatemala. Due to the war, many Immigrants fled over to Los Santos, in search of a brotherhood, more people to relate to, and which also led them to the AV13 gang who accepted them, without a doubt. Additionally, as the gang gained more members they became increasingly violent. Whilst in the era of the 1990’s, the Artero Varrio Gangsters gang actually got connected with the Mexican Mafia through prison and showed their loyalty to them by embracing the thirteen and just like that, AV13 was a verified faction under the Sureños card. Despite being under the Sureños card the Artero Varrio Gangsters 13 even had conflict with other Sureño factions such as.. Playboy 13, Inglewood 13, and Toonerville Rifa 13. In the early years to come, on the streets, the violence between AV13 and other existing street gangs would increase. It increased to the point of which AV13 began to claim the “Blood Killer” card, as they’d only beef with mostly blood factions. They’d do petty things, such as wearing Blue rags, and mostly blue clothing to display their hatred for the blood factions that they constantly had static with. In the present day, members of the AV13 usually wear some type of merch, or pieces of clothing to Identify each other. For example, affiliates over the AV13 faction would particularly use the New Era hat with a bold letter “A” printed in the center of it, they also use Oakland Athletics. The “A” in the hat is usually to represent the A in Artero. The beef between Artero and Athen Park Bloods still remains until this day. This has been one, if not the most deadliest conflict between two factions with blood being drawn since the 1980s, it’s safe to assume.

Frogtownnn! Frogtown Rifa 13 (FTRX3) is one of the oldest hispanic varrios in East Los Santos, it's roots dating back to the early 1900s during the water drought of San Andreas. They achieved the name 'Frogtown' due to their massive population of toads and frogs in the area due to their homes being located close to the Los Santos river. Although, with the modernization of Los Santos, especially Mirror Park, frogs and toads have not been seen in the area for decades. This is possibly due to the coyotes that roam the riverbed and the toxic chemicals dumped into the river. Arnold "Arnie" Gonzalez Arnold "Arnie" Gonzalez was a highly respected member of Frogtown Rifa 13, even earning his place in La Eme. In May, 2018, Arnie and his accomplices were charged with a RICO case by the Los Santos District Attorney. He was identified as the person who brought the alliance between Frogtown Rifa (FTR), Toonerville Rifa (TVF), and Thee Rascals (TRS) together to sell narcotics across the Mirror Park and Los Santos river region. While he was collecting the tax money from all of this, Arnie appointed "Jorge Grey" as his tax collector due to Arnie being locked up in the Boilingbroke State Penitentiary. With this arrest came the raid of Frogtown Rifa 13 neighborhoods known as, Operation "Gig' Em". This takedown had the arrest of over 22 FTR members and weapons and narcotics were retrieved and taken off the streets. With this came a dying out of FTR activity in their hood. Modern Day FTRX3 As of today, Frogtown Rifa 13 is currently popping back up in the streets of Mirror Park and Eastern Los Santos. Their has been numerous sightings of tags in the area where teenagers known to sport dark green flags and a Florida Marlins hat. Three areas have had numerous taggings, each belonging to a different clique. The cliques go in order as Parkside Winos (PSWS), Churchside Locos (CSLS), and Riverside Malditos (RSMS). These cliques are known to have a presence in drug sales in the area and graffiti, mostly having younger members in the cliques, trying to revive what their prior generation had accomplished.
