Lomita Maravilla (LMV) is a predominately Latino street gang located in East Los Angeles, an unincorporated section of Los Angeles County. Lomita is part of several varrios of East Los Angeles that are associated with the Maravilla neighborhoods. This neighborhood has not been active in recent years.
The carnal Robert “Chino” Ruiz was from Lomita. Another carnal in the 80’s found out his jefe was Henry “Peanut Butter” Ruiz, aka Hank Ruiz and the carnal starting calling Chino “Little Peanut Butter.” So Ruiz was then blessed with the placaso Chino and Peanut Butter. The older carnales always referred to him as Chino.
