  1. "La Vida Loca" by Carlos "Wiro" Ruiz and many others, 1992. The Barrios Origins The origins of the 18th street gang can be traced back to Los Santos, San Andreas, during the early 1960s in the Downtown district. The gang was originally made up of immigrants from different Latino countries, which was unusual for that time period. Bigger neighborhoods during that time would usually discriminate against other ethnic groups, choosing only to recruit and admit Mexicans into their ranks. As the small gang of 18th streeters slowly grew they gained the attention of a much bigger gang, Clanton 14. Members of the 18th street gang were actually interested in joining Clanton and making their own clique. However before they were allowed to join the Clanton gang made a demand, the 18th street gang had to get rid of all their non-Mexican members. This decree did not sit well with 18th street membership. The smaller gang rebelled against C14s demands and went to war against them. Establishing themselves as their own neighborhood The Rise of 18th Street Eighteenth Street has become one of the most significant gangs within Los Santos and has spread to numerous locations. Such growth in membership and geographical coverage can be attributed to 18th Street’s open ethnic enrollment of members outside the Latino community, this broadened the appeal for youth to join the gang. The spread of 18th street across Los Santos can be linked to US immigration policies in the 1980s. The mass immigration of people fleeing from civil war in South American led to the gangs recruitment pool increasing in size. These immigrants flocked to the 18th street gang due to the lax recruitment guidelines it had compared to other Hispanic gangs that did not want them,. The gang was one of the few that allowed members of all races and ethnic backgrounds to join. The recruitment of these war refuges led to a sudden increase in the violence committed by the gang. The wave of new recruits were more prone to violence due to the militarized lifestyles they lived in their home countries. These newly gained violent tendencies led to the 18th street gang being able to absorb many smaller gangs and take control of their turf. However, this new found approach to gang banging led to the gang gaining a long list of enemies. Barrio Eighteenth Street vs Mara Salvatrucha One of 18th streets life long enemies is the equally large and infamous Mara Salvatrucha 13. The feud between these two gangs has claimed the lives of hundreds of members from both sides, as well as the lives of many innocent civilians. There are many different stories as to why the war between the two gangs started, many of them becoming somewhat folktales. One story that seems to be the most likely is that one night during a party, members of both gangs got into a dispute over a girl who was seen dancing with a MS13 member after recently breaking up with a reputable 18th street member. The two groups were fighting when shots were fired and a 18th street member was left dead. The two gangs have been involved in a bloody war ever since. The feud has went beyond Los Santos borders as both gangs expanded outside of America, the fighting has now reached new levels in South America. Barrio Eighteenth Street vs The Bloods Up until the early 90s the eighteenth street gang had actually maintained peaceful relations with most black gangs. This allowed them to expand their turf within black neighborhoods. In 1993 the 18th street gang attempted to move into the "Jungles", a black community residing in a maze of apartment buildings in the Chamberlain Hills neighborhood. This led to a dispute between them and the "Black P. Stone" gang over clientele and drug turf in the jungles. The dispute escalated to the point where members of BPS decided to shoot and kill a leader of the Rancho Park clique over the dispute. This led to a series of brazen retaliation shootings by the 18th street gang, members of the gang were shooting at anything black in the Jungles. Due to the jungles being considered a safe haven for bloods, many other blood gangs were dragged into the war on account of their members getting shot by 18th street after being mistake as BPS members. 18th streets main blood adversaries ended up being the Black P Stones, The Rolling Twenty Bloods, and the Westside Brims. 18th street in Vinewood The 18th street gangs presence in Vinewood dates back to the early eighties. Vinewood at the time was experiencing an unprecedented flood of immigrants, mainly from South America. These immigrants quickly formed "stoner" gangs, these stoner gangs differed from the traditional cholo gang. They were into heavy metal, wore long hair, and dropped acid. The differences in culture lead to a lot of stoner and cholo gangs beefing. 18th street saw this as a opportunity and recruited the young stoner gangs. With the backing of 18th street, these stoner gangs carved out territory for themselves in the Vinewood area, establishing a 18th street presence in the region. The Vinewood barrio dubbed itself "Vinewood Gangsters" as a way to differentiate itself from other 18st barrios, this particular 18st chapter has two cliques within itself. The two established cliques in Vinewood are the Laguna Winos (LWS) and Clinton Lil Cycos(CLCS). These two cliques operate together very closely, almost as one singular gang. The Laguna Winos clique is mainly found in the central part of Vinewood just north of Spanish Avenue, they claim the apartment buildings on the corner of Laguna Place & Spanish Ave as their strong hold. The Laguna Winos clique earned it's named in the early 80s, the early members of the clique were known as "winos" who'd always be seen drinking in and around the Laguna Place apartment buildings that they call home. The LWS clique is a more aggressive clique that focuses on gang warfare. The clique is known as 18th streets main hitters in the Vinewood area, earning their reputation for participation in gangland murders on MS13, C14, White Fence and many other Vinewood gangs. This particular clique of 18th street is known to travel to neighborhoods controlled by other cliques to participate in their wars. Members of the LWS clique can be found in court documents for being involved in murders of Black P Stones, Rollin 20 Bloods, and other members of distant gangs that feud with 18th street. The Clinton Lil Cycos can be found just further north, past the famous Vinewood Boulevard and on Clinton Avenue. CLCS has a history of being one of 18th streets most lucrative cliques, they were apart of a massive open air drug market operation on Clinton Avenue in the late 90s that earned them multiple federal indictments as well as millions of dollars in yearly revenue. This particular of the of 18th street has a history of having close ties to the Mexican Mafia. At their height the clique received a cut for every rock of cocaine, gram of heroin, and baggie of weed sold in their turf. Vinewood drug dealers would pay a tax or rent for permission to operate in the streets of Vinewood. Federal prosecutors say that shot caller Juan Romero or "Termite" put members of the clique on shifts so that drugs could be sold twenty four hours a day. The CLCS has since fallen out of glory with multiple indictments disrupting their operation. Today, the clique still operates a drug operation but now on a much smaller scale.

  4. Archer Village Housing Projects is the housing complex located in the heart of North Archer Avenue, the sole center of it. While walking through the buildings, high rate of Archer Lokos 18 and 18th Street Vinewood Gangsters strike-ups presence is present. Alot of Head Hunters 13 tags would be crossed out along with disrespective tags towards Florencia 13 and Longo sets. Ever since Archer Lokos started operating in the area, the presence of drug abuse and gang banging has increased aswell as police presence. Gang unit is eager to catch any North Archer Avenue locals, just for the sole purpose of harassing them or even planting evidence, just to incriminate anyone living in the area. Citizens have been constantly reporting fights, shootings and drug deals happening in the surrounding areas of their operation. Steven Sinclair, a member of the Los Santos Police Department stated the following for Vinewood Newspapers: "Locals should keep an eye out and not let their kids go outside as the area is crowded by gang members, killers and drug dealers, even the kids they recruited have already done terrible things to prove where their loyalties lie. Don't be fooled by baby faces!" Archer Lokos a/k/a ALS18 is a clique under the 18th Street Vinewood Gangsters umbrella, which was founded by Menace Ojeda, Wicked Luna & Chucky Valdez. Menace Ojeda and Chucky Valdez both got a kill order on themselves due to fights with other 18th Streeters and that left Wicked Luna as the sole top boy of the clique, and he has more than fifteen soldiers operating under his supervision. The clique operates around the whole West Vinewood area, but mainly North Archer Avenue & San Vitus Boulevard. It was born in the Archer Village Housing Projects on North Archer avenue, hence the Archer Locos 18 placa. They're very close to the Mara Salvatrucha clique on San Vitus Blvd for years hence this clique's exposure to extra violence and activities. Initially, it was a tight turf war between a MS-13 set and ALS18, but as the MS-13 staying on San Vitus went defunct, the war changed in a different direction, towards Head Hunters 13. They've been going back and forth, tag banging but the greed for turf that's grown in the hearts of Archer Avenida soldiers is out of control, hence the constant turf wars. The clique's members are known to sport brands such as: Oakland Athletics, LA Dodgers, LA Lakers, LA Angels sportswear to represent their A's. The clique was originally formed with the idea of recruiting young hispanic males and inducting them into gang activities / increase the gang's numbers, aswell as expanding the EVG territory. The rumors state drug violence's increased about the same time Archer Lokos came to life. This group is involved in alot of house invasions & jewelry robberies as a product of the area they're operating in. This thread follows the birth & development of Archer Lokos clique under 18th Street Vinewood Gangsters. Latest thread update: 27/5/2023.
  5. W/S Barrio 18th Street 18th Street, also known as Calle 18, Barrio 18, Mara 18, or simply La 18 in Central America, is a multi-ethnic (largely Central American and Mexican) transnational criminal organization that started as a street gang in Los Santos. It is one of the largest transnational criminal gangs in Los Santos, with 30,000 to 50,000 members between the San Andreas, Mexico, and Central America, and is also allied with the Mexican Mafia. A San Andreas Department of Justice report featured the following statement regarding 18th Street and rival gang MS-13, "These two gangs have turned San Andreas into the area with the highest homicide rate in the world." They are actually a collection of approximately 20 separate individual autonomous gangs operating under the same label with separate barrios in the San Fernando Valley, the San Gabriel Valley, the South Bay, South Los Santos, Downtown Los Santos, Pico-Union, Inglewood, and Cudahy. Some estimates of the 18th Street are as low as 8,000 members. The notoriety of the gang is based on four distinct barrios, three near downtown Los Santos west of the Staple’s Center and the 110 Freeway, and one in the West Adams area. The individual factions can number from 50 to several hundred members and they are dispersed throughout the County, but their stronghold and their oldest barrio is located in the Pico-Union (Grand View, Hoover clicks) area east of the Staples Center between the Harbor 110 Freeway (east) and Hoover Ave (west). Slightly to the north, are two other barrios in the Shatto Park and MacArthur Park (Colombia Lil Cycos click) areas. There are also two significant sizes 18th Street Barrios in South LS, one between Vernon (north) and Slauson (south) along Vermont Avenue, and the second one being between Florence (north) and 91st Street (south). One of the most infamous 18th Street neighborhoods would be in the West Adams (Smiley, Alsace, Lil Lowks) because member Catarina Gonzales was convicted for killing LAPD officer Filbert Cuesta in 1998, and more recently, member Pedro Espinoza was charged in the murder of High School star athlete Jamiel Shaw stemming from the conflict with the Bloods. Short history The 18th Street gang formed around 1965 in the Pico-Union area when members of the larger Westside Clanton 14th Street neighborhood decided to start a new click. Originally, 18th Street was a click of the bigger Clanton 14th Street neighborhood (First Hood) who had another neighborhood, Eastside Clanton that was split by the freeway construction of the early 1950s. As the membership of Clanton grew, newer members who lived off of 18th Street decided to start Clanton 18th Street. Forming a new click of a gang can sometimes be a challenge, because some members may look at it as an action that does not unify but separates the neighborhood, and possibly creates a division between members that will be forced to choose sides during a conflict. On the other hand, adding a click can expand the turf, bring in more members, and make the neighborhood appear to be stronger. There is usually a protocol to creating a new click and each neighborhood is different when it comes to that, but ultimately Clanton 14 core members did not approve of having Clanton 18. One of the reasons why original Clanton members began to reject the 18th click, was because it was being led by a non-Mexican-American, named Rocky Lee Glover. The new click members had to make a decision between falling in line with Clanton 14 and the strict rule of Mexican-Americans only or take a defiant position to start their own gang and create Varrio 18th Street. Some decided to stay with the more established Clanton identity, but Rocky Glover and a dozen other teens decided to just simply dropped the Clanton off their name and then became rivals against them. As the years progressed, Clanton lost most of their first westside hood in the Pico-Union area, and today that area is completely dominated by 18th Street and a few other gangs. Other early 18th Street members during the 1960s included Beto, Eddie Boy, Goofy, Indio, Penguin, Tank, Toro, and Smiley who were initially Clanton members of the 1st hood that all decided to take their click into another direction. Clanton did not disappear though as their neighborhood in Vinewood off Alta has survived and their other Eastside neighborhood still exists in two areas. Most gangs today have clicked and there is usually little resistance from the rest of the gang when members want to start a new click, because there is a perceived benefit to the entire gang as outsiders will assume the gang is growing, and it provides a psychological edge against their rivals. Through a small act of defiance, one of the most well-known gangs was born in Los Santos. Because of its aggressive recruiting techniques of accepting members even if they were not Mexican-American, the name of this gang has caught on and has been copied and mimicked in several other cities and countries around the world. Contrary to popular belief, not all of the 18th Street neighborhoods operate in unison, know each other, or even get along. Criminal Activities "We recognize them as one of the most violent street gangs and one of the most prolific in the San Andreas," says Special agent George Rodriguez, who until his retirement oversaw investigations for the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives. Cars are stolen and homes are burglarized by the gang routinely. On average, someone in Los Santos County is assaulted or robbed by 18th Streeters every day. The gang has left a bloody trail at a pace three times that of many of the city's most active gangs. 18th Street is a well-established gang that is involved in all areas of street crime. Several 18th Street gang members have reached a higher level of sophistication and organization in their illicit activities than other gangs. While their main source of income is street-level distribution of drugs, they also have been linked to murders, assaults, arson, copyright infringement, extortion, human trafficking, illegal immigration, kidnapping, prostitution, robbery, and weapons trafficking, as well as other crimes. 18th Street Gang has also been implicated in the high-profile kidnapping and murder of the 16-year-old brother of internationally renowned Honduran football player Wilson Palacios. In 1998, Catarino Gonzalez was sentenced to life in prison after a jury convicted Gonzalez of first-degree murder for fatally shooting Officer Filbert Cuesta in the back of the head, while the officer was sitting in a patrol car. Kingston, New York police arrested and jailed several young men on the charge that they abducted a victim, took him to nearby woods, and murdered him. They were held on federal murder and racketeering charges. In 2019, an 18th Street gangster was fatally shot by a member of rival gang MS-13 in a Queens subway station. In Guatemala City, many bus drivers have been killed by 18th Street gang members that drove through the alleged territory of the gang. Bus drivers were often victims of robberies and extortion. In one particular case, the bus owners refused to pay the gang; a few moments later, a young man, the son of one of Libertad's bus owners was driving his bus along Route 4, which ran from the terminal down to the Universidad de San Carlos de Guatemala in the southern part of the city. As he passed through Zone 6, two men flagged down the bus. They boarded it without paying and shot the driver in the head killing him instantly. 1100 Projects - Home of the Most Hated Gangsters clique. The 1100th Housing Projects are a known stronghold for the 18th Street clique, Most Hated Gangsters. Throughout the years the community has become tighter and tighter as the property value in the area would increase at a fast rate, forcing low-income households to subject to other means of paying the bills. Most of the younger generation in the area became drug dealers and gang bangers overnight, rapidly increasing the gang’s numbers as they slowly start expanding, ending up having over 150 members. As more and more members joined, one of their main rivals, MS-13 started increasing in size at an alarming size, proposing a real challenge for 18th Street. Soon to come, an all-out war on the streets of Los Santos for power started, making the area one of the most dangerous areas to live in. LSPD started to crack down on the beef as they started to pick up on multiple signs of the power-motivated bloodshed. They started to learn more and more about their culture, making it one of their main priorities to find out as much as possible about both gangs. Graffiti, tattoos, and firearms with multiple homicides linked to them started to fill the streets as they would make more and more arrests, somehow cracking down on what started the feud in the first place and how to gain deeper access into their mentality. March 13th, 2015. The beef would slowly die down as both sides would start to move smarter and faster, making tricking the police one of their biggest priorities. On the day of the bloodshed, a respected member of the 18th Street gang was buried and tensions between the two rival gangs were high that day as the beloved member of the Most Hated Gangsters clique was gunned down by a rival MS-13 member over a fistfight with one of the youngins in the area, as the 16-year-old pulled a semi-automatic handgun out, gunning the male down. At 7:21 PM an automatic machine gun goes off, gunning down multiple at an MS-13 party. This event made all hell break loose as the war was at its peak, with multiple shootings per day. The casualties were so high, the LSPD had to move quickly as they opened up multiple youth programs to try and keep the kids off the streets. Currently, there are 17 murders reported in the last nine months between these two groups.
