StreetGangs.Com forum on gangs around the world

Has anyone heard of this gang before? They were in between W. 40th Pl and S. Hoover St, there was a picture taken in South Central on 1993 with three members of this gang, it also said one of them was wounded in a drive by shooting by a rival gang but survived the attack.

These vatos where never on 40st n hoover! in 1993 that whole area was all Eighteenth street(42tdks'kbgs'54tls)

So where exactly was there hood at? I managed to find some pictures of some 40th street gang members, one of them has a big "40" on his back

i would say 40 and main

Maybe in the late 80s early 90s, varrio 40 street did have main n 40th. but ever since i could remember that area has always been HOB12, with the 41st gang on the other side of main..

That picture does look like it was taken on broadway n 41st tho, infront of that 99 cent store..

well .. probably thats the ''safest'' store out of their 1 blocc varrio and they was on a mission gettin their cervecas

but hob wasnt existing in the 80's anyway

They came out of eastside playboys late 80s..

From main to e110 - king to 43 is nothing but HOB12.. 1 block???

i heard about them brokin from pbs as a car club

I do remember v. 40th Street, from the 1990s, maybe early 2000s.

Could be! I got a few og homies from PBS n HOB. Ill ask them n get back to ya..

Are the 39th streets still around 39th and Grand/Broadway? They had beef with 36th street and probably 40th street

yep, Varrio 39th street is still around

Well, I found a little info about this gang on another post on here, apparently, an author by the name of Susan A. Phillips published a book by the name of "Wallbangin", and in this book she has a map of the gangs in south central from 1997, and a "Varrio 40th Street" is listed, their turf is on E Martin Luther King Jr Blvd and S Central Ave? Well thats what Bigg Listo posted on here

wouaow wouldnt put them that east but hey ....dont really know that hood anyway

South Central Varrio 40th Street Gang from the late 1980s

i recall them off Broadway.

In my part 2 interview with Curtis Smith, he mentions Varrio 40th Street as one of the Mexican gangs active when he was at Wadsworth Elementary school. He recalls them on 40th Street off San Pedro near 30s Piru area.

I just watched the interview, interesting how he said that 38th street wiped out varrio 40th street, Well at least we all now know what happened to this small hood. I was always intrigued to know what exactly happened, and it looks like their officially defunct.
