Rollin 60s Neighbor Hood Crip in Los Angeles, California – Hyde Park area

Westside Rollin 60s NeighborHood Crip [RSC, R.60s, NH R.60s] are a predominately African-American street gang in the Hyde Park area of South Los Angeles, California. They are among one of the largest gangs geographically and numerically the several hundred Black gangs in Los Angeles County, California. They have been active since the mid-1970s after the the larger West Side Crips, which formed in 1971, began to splinter into more geographically specific neighborhood groups.

RSC are the first gang to use the term “Rollin” and were involved in the first Crip-on-Crip rivalry when in 1979, the RSC and Eight Tray Gangster Crips (ETG) began a feud that has lasted over 3 decades with about 50 deaths among the two gangs with nearly hundred including innocent bystanders.

RSC have of few subsets or clicks of the larger gang which include the Avenues, Overhills (Bacchood), The Dime and Front Hood.

Because of their enormous size in numbers, they have been able to dominate areas outside their traditional neighborhood. For example, during the 1980s, members of RSC would travel north across town to the World-on-Wheels skating rink located in rival School Yard Crip’s (SYC) neighborhood. Often times, the SYC could not do anything about their presence, and they would have to retreat south across Venice Blvd into their turf when large numbers of RSC members would visit the skating rink. At times, the SYCs would attempt drive-by shootings at RSC members hanging out in front, but every weekend they would return, provoking additional shootings, all this happening adjacent to the Wilshire Division of the Los Angeles Police Department.

Today, their main rival to the east continues to be the ETGs. This would be the most intense rivalry between any two Crip gangs in all of Los Angeles County in the history of street gangs conflict. Although there are longer rivalries among other Los Angeles gangs, such as the one between the White Fence and El Hoyo Maravilla, which goes back to about 1920, the conflict between RSC and ETG has been more violent, especially during the period between 1980 and 1995.

The RSC and ETG rivalry started Crip infighting which created a divide between Neighborhood Crips and Gangster Crips also known as Trays. This rivalry is discussed in Monster Kody’s 1993 book, Monster: Autobiography of an LA Gang Member and Donald Bakeer’s 1987 book, Crips.

Other rivals to the Rollin 60s include Inglewood Family Bloods to their south, Van Ness Gangsters Bloods to their east and Centinela Park Family Bloods to their west in the neighboring city of Inglewood.

A Rollin 60s Crip member made news headlines in 1984 when member Tiequon Aundray “Lil Fee” Cox, 18, (b. 1966) sought revenge against a person in a non-gang related matter, and went to the wrong house where he and two accomplices (Horace Burns and Darren “C-Dub” Williams) executed four family members of former NFL Rams player Kermit Alexander. Cox was convicted in 1986 for committing quadruple murder and was sentenced to death and sits on San Quentin’s death row. Williams too was sentenced to death but then had his sentenced commuted to 4 consecutive life terms (100 years) while Burns was sentenced to life without parole.

While on death row, Cox, 23, stabbed original West Side Crip co-founder Stanley “Tookie” Williams, 35, on one of the 6-mini yards at San Quentin in 1988 and has since assumed a dominant position at San Quentin on that yard, often referred to as the “Crip Yard.” This act was depicted in the 2004 film Redemption starring Jamie Foxx but many suggested that the incident didn’t play out as it did in the film.

In 1988, Rollin’ 60s Crip member, Durrell Dewitt Collins, 21, was arrested for the shooting death of Westwood patron Karen Toshima, 27. According to court documents, Collins was attempting to shoot a rival Mansfield Gangster Crip member, Tyrone Swain, when Toshima was accidentally struck. Although street gang conflict among blacks was on the rise since the early 1970s, it was the killing of Toshima that bought national attention to the 1980s gang conflict of Los Angeles. Gang related murders were occurring at the rate of nearly 2 per day with many innocent bystanders, but this type of violence would not be tolerated in the affluent Westwood community of Los Angeles of a non-black victim.

1988 Interview of Rollin 60s members, Creeper, Lil Creeper, Lil Low Down and E-Bone.

 

Chief Daryl Gates for the first time increased gang officers, a reward was immediately announced for the arrest of the shooter, and Westwood immediately increased police patrols. From the unprecedented attention this shooting received, Los Angeles Councilman Robert Farrel was quoted saying, “Unfortunately there is a perception that a life lost in South Los Angeles and East LA does not measure up to a life lost in Westwood.”

Collins was convicted of murder and sentenced to 27 years to life. Under the old sentencing guidelines Collins was eligible for parole in 2002 but he remains incarcerated in San Quentin prison.

In 2003 Los Angeles City Attorney filed a gang injunction against the Rollin 60s Crips specifying 31 men that were members and associates of the 60s, but some have suggested that the 60s were being unfairly targeted including individuals that had not had police contact in several years.

One of their geographic Blood rivals would be the Van Ness Gangsters (VNG) to the north. Since RSC members attended Crenshaw High School, north of Slauson, they often clashed with the VNGs and becasue the VNGs are a smaller gang with less membership, the RSCs have been able to dominate the school population even though the high school is outside their turf.

Other rivals would include the Inglewood Families, all Hoovers, especially the 83 Hoovers and 74 Hoovers and all Gangster Crips that are hooked up with the Eight Trays such as the 53 Avalon Gangster Crips and 43 Gangster Crips. The RSCs and all the “Owes” were allied during the 1980s but that alliance has not endured.

In 2008, Guy Lawson published an article entitled, The Inside Man, for GQ Magazine about a Rolling 60s Crip gang member who was moonlighting as a confidential informant for the Los Angeles Police Department.

On September 27, 2012, Eritrean rapper Sandman Negus, who was originally a Rollin’ 60s Crip, was killed in the rear of the 4300 block of South Crenshaw in Los Angeles.
