Gamble Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 (edited) PREHISTORIC ERA (1970-2000) Palomino Avenue was once known to be a primarily Filipino-American dominated area, Satanas was a clique from Temple Street since the 1920s that went off solo in the 1970s. In 1972, a car club group started in the Los Santos area by some Filipino Americans who had formed a cultural bond where they were a minority. At first the club was exclusively for Filipinos. Other Filipinos came to socialize with this club. Satanas (STS or Ese Te Ese) is a predominantly Filipino American street gang with a minority of Hispanic, Korean American and even Caucasian members. The street gang started in the 70's as a Filipino click of the Temple Street 13 (TST) in Los Santos, San Andreas. The first ever Satanas set (broken off TST) to hit the streets of Los Santos was Menaces STS (MSTS/STSM). Many of the original STS members from East Beach had family ties in TST which led to Satanas often kicking back with Temple St members from both West and East side of town. Some TST flipped over to STS after they became a gang (most often youngens). The gang gained alot in numbers through the 80's during the wars with with Pinoy Real (PRG) Bahala Na Gang (East Beach BNG) and Crazys (CYS). In the late 90's, the gang's numbers started to drop heavly due to members being deported/jailed. This led to alot of the youngens and even riders dropping the Saints flag and moving on in life - as nobody wanted to be deported. In the early 2000s, Satanas experienced a dip in numbers, only the downest homeboys were still on the streets representing but they weren't banging as hard as back in the 80's. Satanas set all over Los Santos lost a lot of territory, they often got picked on by deeper and more active gangs without retaliating which led to a mass loss of the gang's reputation on the streets. Many small time Satanas sets all over Los Santos went inactive or dropped the Saints flag during this period. CIVIL WAR (2000-2014) The late 21st century was known to be the golden era of the Satanas , the small time sets scattered around Los Santos and well-known Satanas OG member, Ray Kanto, decided to gather all the small sets to create a very large gang which would be centralized around the areas of Koreatown and Mirror Park. There were two sets active, the E/S Krazy Mirror Park Satanas and the W/S Palomino Satanas Gang which was under the control of Ray Kanto, on the 9th of August, 2014, Ray Kanto and his homies were hanging around the areas of Mirror Park when a Black Chevy Impala drove up to them and shot Ray and his crew, which weakened the Satanas leadership, this resulted in the civil war between the E/S Krazy Mirror Park Satanas and the W/S Palomino Satanas. A lot of the senior members and original founders of the Satanas sets are either locked up or have been killed. The war between both Satanas sets was bloody, cousins up against cousins and brothers against brothers, the W/S Palomino Satanas Gang however went up on top during the war and the Krazy Mirror Park Satanas capitulated as a result of civil war and an unstable leadership, Palomino Satanas OG's Edgar Guzman, Roy Mercado, Louis Sok and Marlon Mercado set to rebuild the entire set from the ground up due to them losing much of their manpower and their resources during this time in history. MODERN SATANAS (2015-PRESENT) On the 8th of May, 2018, Satanas OGs Edgar Guzman, Roy Mercado, Louis Sok and Marlon Mercado were indicted on drug distribution charges, as of year 2020, the gang is no less than a small crew and it's members are composed of a mix of experienced gang members and young adolescents. Satanas members like to flaunt their set by wearing Saints related clothing and wearing the sports team called the Seattle Mariners' gear and wear. Francisco "Kapitan Pancho" Bartolome, a long time member of the set took the reigns when most of the leadership within the W/S Palomino Satanas Gang were arrested, Marlon "Looney" Mercado's charges were dropped and the duo reunited and set to rebuild what was once lost. Most tags and graffitis done by the set are seen around the areas of Palomino Avenue and Little Seoul. NOTABLE EVENTS (2021-2022) The Little Seoul Incident came to be when drug dealers under the set were dealing around the Little Seoul LTD, the locals who were living in Koreatown did not want the gang set operating in said territory and as a result, brawls occured between the Satanas Gang set and the Little Seoul Tigers, it escelated when a local named Isiah "Grim" Umali, took out a firearm and pointed it towards the locals, as a result he was shot and killed. It is said to believe that, Shotcaller Marlon "Looney" Mercado opted for peace between the communities of Palomino Avenue and Little Seoul, an alliance and a ceasefire was called after the incident and the drug dealers were ordered to move to a different spot to create their own market. One of the notable crimes, Louis Gamez was sleeping inside his house down in Mirror Park when gang set member Mateo Ibarra followed him all the way to his house and waited until he was inside. Ibarra then went inside and shot Gamez three times in the head. Palomino Set member Iker "Trouble" Barajas, who is yet to be identified was behind the killing of Gregory Contreras, long time Gang Detective in the Los Santos Sheriff's Department. It is believed that Trouble attempted to rob three off-duty cops and they returned fire in self-defense, resulting in the death of Contreras. Another notable event would be the death of Marlon "Looney" Mercado, who was shot and killed by an unknown assailant in the streets of Palomino Avenue. He was shot five times in the head. On September 12, 2021, a LSPD SWAT-team responded to gunshots being fired at the Little Seoul LTD. Upon arrival, the SWAT-team opened fire at Satanasero affiliates who were involved in a shootout. The SWAT-team was ambushed from behind however, by Jacob Gamboa, Francisco Bartolome, and Vincente Saez. They successfully killed 3 LSPD SWAT officers, before attempting to escape in a vehicle. They were later caught and arrested. The San Andreas District Attorney's Office demanded life imprisonment without parole for all three Satanasero members, on account of three times capital murder. With the help of an exceptional lawyer, Omar Ortiz, Gamboa and Bartolome managed to prove themselves ''innocent'' at court, while all blame was thrown at Vincente Saez, who in turn got locked up for life. After the SWAT incident, the W/S Palomino Satanas Gang decided to lay low due the heat of law enforcement. Not long after, nearly all gang activities ceased when prominent members of Satanas Gang moved out of Los Santos. A year followed with no sign of the Satanas to be found, until a sudden resurgence took place during the month of December in 2022. The Satanasero resurfaced in their home turf of Palomino Avenue, and their gang activities continued once more. The group carried on with a more careful approach this time around however, avoiding large shootouts with law enforcement as was done during the 2021 incidents. The new Satanasero also rebranded themselves as just the W/S Satanas Gang to officially split off from the older and extinct Palomino Gang and to avoid affiliation and previous heat.
