BACKGROUND


Built from the remnants of the 38th Street gang, the Capeda Connection was started by a married couple Rosibel and Dennis who had met during their teens and wanted to be a part of something bigger. It all started with the 38th Street gang, a street gang that was composed mainly of Hispanic-Americans who had direct contact with the Mexican Mafia who often used the gang to carry out their orders. Rosibel and Dennis met during their teams whilst being a part of the gang, spending their time doing petty crimes such as theft, drug dealing, and tagging in order to build their reputation up. The pair felt they were invincible, with the gang only enabling them to expand their reach further into making as much money as possible. However, like most groups, greed began to become the forefront in which the group operated, with the streets seeing more and more violence as different gangs fought for power.
 

 “People walked the streets with pistols hidden in their waistline, whilst musicians walked and played behind them. At dawn you heard the music, the shootouts, that was when they killed people.”


It wasn’t until 2011 when 38th Street began to start collapsing, with 37 members arrested on narcotics and firearm charges. The gang became a subject of a 130-page grand jury indictment alleging violations of the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations statute. This eventually saw the end of the gang itself, with Rosibel and Dennis moving away in order to attempt to start something new, addicted to the income they had been bringing in through illicit gangs.

El Burro & Fudge Lane Neighborhood


El Burro & uphills neighborhood, historically reputed to be one of the seediest ghettos in Los Santos, has seen many businesses set up shops. Largely favored by the action of the charitable association Capeda Connection in the field, a solid pool of employment is then born. El Burro's crime rate has never been lower. But far from reassuring the local authorities, this phenomenon could be much more dangerous for the municipality of Los Santos in the long term. The era of the virulent street gangs raging in El Burro is indeed experiencing a new turning point. The various graffiti that affiliate this sector with the criminal movement fade over the showers and the gang is less and less talked about in the newspapers. Not that the movement is losing its momentum, quite the contrary.
 

It turns out that order was restored by a handful of crime kingpins; the heads of the Capeda Connection. These individuals have drawn before them a new horizon in order to maintain and consolidate their power in the ghettos of Los Santos. Covered by numerous legal structures, the hidden gains of what was once a simple street gang are now laundered through complex financial machinery.

Increasingly discreet and insidious, the criminal organization is on the verge of founding a real criminal empire.

 

One thing the two realized was that when starting fresh they needed people they could rely on, and after several years of starting small businesses and continuing drug sales,
The Capeda Connection was born.
