Seville Boulevard Families History



Introduction
In deep south, east, in neighborhood overlooking ocean, one gang rules supreme with iron hand of street law called Seville BLVD Families.
Seville BLVD Families is one of the oldest Afro American Street Gangs based on the east side of South Central LS. Today gang and its member have plenty of registered crimes as homicides, robberies, grand theft auto, firearm possession and illegal marijuana and PCP possession. SBF is based in area called Seville, and their main street of origin is a boulevard in seville called Seville Boulevard. The gang officialy started in middle 70's,following the rise of the Ballas called gang. As the Ballas gangs got more and more power around the South Central LS streets, Seville and its residents became targets of constacts attacks,robberies beat downs and other assault by the Ballas members on their way of devastation of seeking respect on city streets. The group of teenagers and middle aged black males rised up against the ballas attacks and formed their own gang, today known as... Seville Families.

Chapter 1 New Element (Middle 70's)

As in early 70s the Ballas formed and united ready for going on path of achieving respect and getting power amongst
the Los Santos underground, small peacefull neighborhood called Seville
became target of constant attacks by Ballas
robbers,jackers, burglars and the residents would often get beated up and have their cash stolen, a group of high school teenagers under the leadership of "two unknown teenagers" know under aliases "Key-Ja" and "Woodie" got sick of it. The two as being most respected by their violent behaviour got sick of the Ballas attacking the neighborhood, so they banded other black males which
was gettin tired of crime on their block. The groups originaly was made up by like 7 members, which used to attack Ballas robbers, thieves with shovels, pool cues, bats, brasses, knives and everything they could get their hands on.
Ballas decided to return the fire toward the new gang which was nameless at that time, from now on, the target of looting and attacks wasnt the neighborhood itself, but it was the gang members. Local community blamed the gang that they only brought more violence and brawl fights on the streets with Ballas while rest cheers the gang as the gang as the crew of defending their hood from Ballas attacks and many other kids seek to join it, by 1977 gang had like four times more members than at start. Their crew got much power and respect around the neighborhood that they started uniting all the crews in both Seville Boulevard in Eastside Seville and Willowfield Avenue on Westside Seville, bringing whole Seville in one nation even tho their gang had no name neither markings.


Chapter 2 Families & Ballas - OGF Union Times(Late 70's,Early 80's)

The more gang earned their reputation on the streets of South Central, the bigger tension between Seville and Ballas was growing. As a result of open war between Ballas and few minor gangs on the Eastside of South Central which was divided by railroads in middle. Numours of small gangs on
Eastside decided to stand on the way of Ballas and in protection of their neighborhood. After meeting of few gang leaders of local gangs the new faction was officialy found - Families.
The Name was taken Families because gang unlike Ballas worked as 3 different sets - Families operating
in their own neighborhoods while Ballas worked as one big unit. Seville Boulevard Families controlled the Playa Del Seville and Willowfield, Grove Street Families controlled Ganton,Grove Street and 3rd set wasnt located in South Central, however they was also in war with Ballas and they was based in Temple Drive. The main goal for Seville Boulevard Families and other sets at beggining was to protect their hood from Ballas attackers and robbers and to, following Crack epidemy, stop Ballas drug dealers from pushing crack into Families neighborhoods. The War resulted in many homicides and drive bies and only increased hatred between two gangs, Families on the Eastside and Ballas on the Westside
Concerning Seville, gang was in war with Ballas from Willowfield mainly, and after 3-4 years, Seville
Families and Grove Families managed to eridicated any Ballas left in Willowfield and in 1978, Willowfield was fully into Families controll under Seville Boulevard Families. Families managed to maintan streets of Eastside under their rule while under command of Sweet,Ryder,CJ,Big Smoke,B Dup
Big Bear (Grove Street Families), Lil Devil, Big Devil,Doom, Gamble and Emmet (Seville Boulevard Families) OG's. Seville was almost winning in conflict with Vagos and Ballas all the way untill 1985 when old kingpins Doom was arrested and Gamble got killed and Seville Set tripping Started and real grounding of Seville by Lil Dan, Keelo and their lieutenants.

Chapter 3 Set Tripping - New Gang (Middle-Late 80's)

After the Gamble's death and new leader Doom's retaking, gang was slowly felling from the once-mighty power they had on the south Eastside due to death of other OG's, Doom's lieutenants Voodoo and others, the "civil war" enraged in the set for fight over the leadership position, after the minor snitching from other side Doom and his lieutenants managed to retain the trust and loyalty from the members by killing the backstabbers just to find out another problem.
Not only the Seville BLVD Families was into a war in their structure, whole Families organization was in the starting phase of the war between them. War inside Seville Boulevard Families resulted in weakening of the gang and they lost the influence in Westside Seville AKA Willowfield. Seville Fams was busy setting out the war in their very ranks so they couldn't help Grove Street Families in war against Ballas. Temple Drive Families couldn't be much of the help since they didnt had any influence on Eastside. Following those events all the way to the 1986, Ballas flooded the Willowfield and Ganton communities with crack, visible weakening the Families gang even more to drastic measure which led to distrust of the gang sub-sets between each-other. First wave of collapse started with minor conflicts in way of leadership in 1987 between Sweet and Ryder versus Doom, Lil Dan and Keelo. Lil Devil and Big Devil tried to stop the set trip but on the way to negotiate with Sweet,Ryder and Big Smoke they was brutally drive bied and left on the Ganton Road. Lil Dan,Keelo and Old Familie blamed Grove Street for it and after other failures against Ballas and their refusal to deal drugs, Seville Families blamed Temple Drive for not taking any mayor role in the gang wars like Grove and Seville did. In late 1987 and early 1988 gang broke up from Families under the leadership of Keelo and Lil Dan as Doom got imprisoned few days before the official splitting up with main reasons failure in war versus Ballas and loosing power in drug trade.
Keelo and Lil Dan with their lieutenants Macc,Rexxar and Ol' Fam grounded Seville Boulevard Families and continued Doom's legacy as a real single gang with no influence of Grove or Temple on them. While Grove Street Families was slowly dying Lil Dan and Keelo managed to keep it alive, and after broking from the OGF, Seville Fams started dealing marijuana and PCP which proved as success of the gang monetary and financial situation and bringing them more money and respect on the Eastside.


Chapter 4 Times of Indenpendence (Late 80's/90's)

Seville Fams, unknown to Grove Street Families started selling marijuana and PCP to local neighborhood. Gang with Lil Dan and Keelo as their shotcallers managed to establish a marijuana trade network which would manage to shake position of Vagos gang in drug trade on Eastside of South Central.
While Seville Boulevard Families rised even more in power and reputation on Eastside Streets, Grove Street Families was weakened daily and as aftermath Grove Street Families lost all their influence on eastern Idlewood,Ganton Boulevard,Ganton Housing Projects and part of Grove Street around 10 Green Bottles neighboring Idlewood which allowed Ballas to tottaly spread all over Idlewood setting Idlewood Housing Projects as one of their main Crack Den's. Front Yard Ballas'es Crack Den helped Ballas spread their crack all over the Ganton and Willowfield but they couldn't reach Seville. With Families divided
Ballas had less work to do but Seville BLVD Families still managed to resist crack pushers into Eastside Seville and the neighborhood remained clean from Crack, but on other hand, Seville Boulevard Families created a Weed Den oposite to Front Yard Ballas Crack Den. Soon drug dealers from bigger and more organized gang Front Yard Ballas flooded Willowfield with Crack and Cocaine,
which was a big hit beside few Seville Boulevard Families OGs and members beign arrested, like Ol' Familie,AJ, and death of Sheed and others in late 80's which left the gang without few members and 3rd-in-command OG.
Following minor conflicts in Willowfield Ballas either killed or convicted old Fam's members into crack addicts who served Ballas in exchange for crack to feed their addictivnes, causing Willow turning into useless gang zone for Families.
Seville Boulevard Families was repealing crack pushing from both East Beach and Front Yard and in same time was gang banging with Vagos and Ballas gang, but now even with their ex-friends, Grove Fams who considered Seville Fams as traitors and judge their breaking from Orange Grove Families as act of treason. Seville Boulevard Families felt terrible hit only after the gang's kingpin got arrested in 1991 and Lil Dan remained alone at leadership spot only with two loyal OG's Macc and Rexxar.


Chapter 5 Reuniting the Families (Early 90's)

Following Keelos and Ol' Fam departure Seville Boulevard Families felt a blow from the power and influence on the Eastside in 1990 and 1991 which set gang in difficult position. Gang managed still to repeal Crack and Cocaine from their neighborhood with only few conflicts and shootouts between
gang members and drug dealers from neighbouring gangs and very rare cases of members turning into addicts.
Unlike Grove Street Families, Seville BLVD Families was not in disaray yet and managed to keep the Seville away from influence of Ballas and Vagos. As the time passed and after few gun conflict
between Seville Boulevard Families and Grove Street Families, Sweet and CJ felt need to bring the Families back again. After meeting at Jefferson Motel gangs supposedly united without Lil Dans will, but the members themselves convicted to Orange Grove Families in hope that banging on
Ballas and Vagos united will be a big success.
Lil Dan however knew he cant go against outnumbered alliance but he managed to secure Seville Boulevard Families identity and made Seville Boulevard Families work as part of Orange Grove Families under his command to prevent Sweet and his lieutenants stick their nose into Seville Business. Peace lasted very shortly,for few months but showed as a success in war against Ballas and their crack pushers. And later after some time when following now both CJ's and Sweets low key actions Grove Street Families had new leader - Miami and Keelos and Ol' Fams release, the peace was re-estabilished again.

Chapter 6 Aftermath (1993, Today)

This time after the union was established as just an alliance and co-operating between 3 gangs, Gang leaders agreed that they shouldn't mess in business of other gang and that from now on Grove Street Families will have nothing to Seville or Temple Families drug-focused actions ranging from dealing and distributing to use.
Now under leadership of psychopathic Keelo and cunning Lil Dan, gang reached the biggest reputation they had in their history and reached the top in the Eastside outnumbering Vagos 4 to 1 and Grove Street Families as 2 to 1. Seville Boulevard Families also spread their marijuana and PCP distributing network all over Eastside that in 1993 they crushed and breaked Vagos drug distribution. Today Seville Boulevard Families is biggest and most violent gang on the Eastside and they grow in power both in reputation and fiancial ways showing no more alliegence to Orange Grove Families and their hostality toward other Families sets turn positive and negative constatly. Seville Boulevard Families became also very high priority target on street level crimes ranging from car theft,marijuana and PCP distribution,vandalism, burglaries and robberies to to gang related fighting,shooting and murders.
