History

The 5th and Hill gang is a gang that was formerly located in Downtown Los Santos. It was formed in the 1970’s by a group of Mexican immigrants who made a living as day laborers in the 5th Hill streets in Downtown Los Santos. They started their career as criminals by robbing pedestrians who passed through their neighborhood, before starting sales in Heroin in the 1980’s. Authorities believe they received the Heroin in bulk directly from Mexico. The gang is mostly known for being one of the few Mexican gangs in Los Santos that didn’t adopt the Sureno identity, Rather joining the “Paisa car” in Prison, and adopting “22” to their name, 5th and Hill 22. The 22 symbolizes “BB”, the Border Brothers gang. They’re known for having close ties to the Sinaloa cartel, the Border Brothers gang, and various other criminal organizations. Everything was looking up for the gang, heroin was their best selling product. Downtown turned out to be an ideal spot to find clients and dealers because of the low-income immigrants that were easy to spot and recruiting was easy because the gang offered a better, easier way to make a lot of money rather than doing manual labor. The gang was known to be the top drug dealers in Downtown LS, though not everything went as planned. In 2007 the LSPD launched an investigation into the 5th and Hill gang. Months long crackdowns affected the sales and many high profile members of the 5th and Hill gang were arrested. “The police, after the raids were over, found over a million dollars worth of heroin. Police say that they recovered over 45,000 balloons of the product. They also found 85 pounds of tar heroin, enough to fill half a million balloons when diluted. Officers arrested 31 people, alleged leaders of the gang, as well as scores of alleged street sellers that worked for them.”

Present

After the crackdowns on the gang and a lack of clear leadership the gang was near being defunct. Property values in Downtown LS grew higher and higher, driving more and more members of the gang out of Downtown and into the ghettos of South Central. Juan Garcia, the gangs former leader, is currently serving a life sentence in the Twin Towers jail for the murder of a member of the 18th Street gang, though there are rumors that he is currently continuing to run the gang. The remnants of the gang fled to Northern Rancho, where property prices were much cheaper and being a gangster was overall easier to do than in Downtown Los Santos. The 5th and Hill gang are now located in North Rancho, neighboring with the Innocence Family Gangster Bloods, and Florencia 13

 

Culture and beef

The gang is known for getting along with most blood gangs. They have a few beefs, but their biggest one is with the 18th Street gang. The gang had beefed with Florencia 13 in the past, but buried the hatchet so they could band together against 18th Street. They’re known for throwing up an H, or the number 5 with their hands as their gang sign. They wear mostly orange, and sport a variety of different hats. Most hats seen being worn by the gang members are the Florida Mariners, Houston Astros, Atlanta Falcons, and the Pittsburgh Pirates (for Paisa).

Our goal with this faction is to portray a modern Paisano gang in Los Angeles. 5th and Hill is a real gang, and we expect to follow its real life counterpart to the best the server allows us to. We will not tolerate trolls, rule breakers, or people looking for a free ride to get easy guns and drugs. people who do this will be kicked out of the faction. While our main focus is on the gang, we welcome anyone who wishes to role play as a low income local to the neighborhood. If you’re interested in joining, PM me, or @FocusGTA, or join our discord https://discord.gg/NNYrWGBe8

 Upon joining this faction we have permission to CK your character for any reason we see fit.
