WHo were the Figueroa Boys?

Many neighborhoods can not maintain themselves with the level of competition. They may get pulled into other neighborhoods or they just fade out. Only discuss those areas from LOS ANGELES that are gone.

WHo were the Figueroa Boys?

Were the Figueoroa Boys Bloods or did they become Bloods? Or did they turn into the Denver Lanes? Or did the Denver Lanes start from their own branch?

THE 1972 LAPD 77th Division gang map shows Fig Boys in same are where Denver Lanes are today

that would be very interesting to know ... Inglewood Family Bloods can trace their history back to The Chain Gang

Nutty Blocc can trace their history back to the Original Grandees...


i think if it were true, The Denver Lanes would be pushing it - as thing to be proud of

what year did Fig Boys play out?

what is the offical start year of DLB?

you'll have your answer ^^ if their right next to each other by a year or two

4 to 5 years gap... who different generation .. imo

The best I know at this time is Figueroa Boys from 1969/70 and they were on the LAPD map in 1972.

Denver Lanes were definitely on the map in 1978 but dont know what was the deal from 1973 - 1977. According to Allhood Magazine Issue 4, the Lanes and the Fig Boys were 2 separate hoods that co-existed during the same time 1970 - 1972. I just wonder why the Lanes were not on the 1972 LAPD map.

Probably the same reason why East Coast is not on the map

I personally believe ECC started in summer of 1978,

Was in full swing by 1979

and blew up all across the East Side in 1980 … that’s my own personal conviction though

then they expanded and was able to pull in hoods that were around for 10 years older than ECC was


…………


Denver Lane Boys was the original name... I dont know exatly what year they came out

They added the Blood after the Blood movement began (anti-Crip)

I got the map from 1972 and the denver lanes are on there as a seperate gang. The fig boys got smashed out by the original west side crips and original hoover crips.

Is this not the same as 77Th St. Boys it seems that A.C. Moses identified them as the same gang in his interview. Richard Myles and his family.

He also remarks that Richard Myles although having no plans of ever working with Raymond Washington and the Crips ends up starting the 357 Pomona Crips.

Must be talking about Richard Miles of one of his brothers. I wonder what year that was.
