INTRODUCTION The XV3 or 18th Street Gang, also known as Dieciocho, Eighteen St, Barrio 18, Mara 18, or simply 18 is a multi-ethnic (mostly Central American and Mexican-American) street gang in Los Santos that was founded in 1960s, making it one of the oldest in Los Santos. This gang was originally formed to foster interracial camaraderie in the face of high levels of racism. They began to protect one another in order to maintain their dignity as Hispanic, and the 18th Street was designated specifically for only Mexican-American back in the days when was the first time the 18th Street formed. The growth of 18th Street members was quick, beginning in Los Santos from several Central districts and progressing to the West and Central South, and some of these cliques were formed as multi-ethnic gang which meant they also allow other Central Americans and other ethnicities to join the 18th Street. LA RAZA The Temple Locos XV3 is one of numerous various cliques affiliated with the 18th Street identity that formed and led by Gerardo 'Glory' Lobo in the early 2000s, and he was also one of the leaders of the cliques that allowed different ethnicities to join 18th Street. The Temple Locos XV3 also refer to themselves as TLS (Temple Locos), indicating that they are part of the clique. This clique gained control of the majority of Temple district and began to spread its members to West Vinewood, which lies directly adjacent to the center of its spread. In this case, Temple Locos members were not frequently seen around West Vinewood, but several witnesses from local residents, as well as police arrests of 18th Street affiliated members, revealed that several criminal cases have lately been reported in the West Vinewood area as a result of perpetrators identifying as Temple Locos XV3 members. HUSTLERS & ACTIVITIES The Temple Locos XV3 main profitable operation is street distribution of marijuana, heroin, and cocaine. They distribute drugs on a street-scale, moving in silence like a shadow that simply arrives and disappears quickly. As a result, it is the ideal site for crackheads to find drugs, transforming the Temple district into a high-street drugs distribution hub. Aside from street distribution of drugs, they engage in other crime operations to supplement their income, such as extortion, kidnapping, and robbery. According to the authorities, the Temple district is overpowering, with so many crime cases created by Temple Locos members, making it a high-crime area that is certainly not safe and unsuitable for living. Only a few locals live there, and the majority have paid taxes to Temple Locos members to maintain security, which includes large companies such as marketplaces around the Temple district's streets as well as small businesses managed by local inhabitants. In certain circumstances, markets or other companies operating in the Temple district area are required to pay taxes for security, and some cases of theft or extortion have happened as a result of avoiding paying taxes to the Temple Locos XV3. IT ALL BEGINS Temple Locos is now in its fifth generation of leadership, dating back to the 2000s when the organization was founded. In this situation, Cortez "Toner" Mercado, as the previous leader's right-hand man, took over the clique as a trusted and respected figure, rather than as a successor to the previous leadership. Toner, on the other hand, has his own aspirations and will take Temple Locos to greater heights than the former or previous leaders in the 18th Street leadership or even its hood life. Toner is known as a very confident person to carry the name of Temple Locos' leader. Toner never gives up on anything, and his determination to realize something valuable for Temple Locos never fades, and those around him believe that Toner will not change his stance as a leader who never gives up, is firm in his stance, and, of course, recognizes Temple Locos as the best place for members to be. As such, Toner is a dependable leader who will continue to pave the path for members to enhance their standard of living in street life. Someone named Ligio "Trigger L / Triggy" Armenta, who is also the one of respected members, assumed the role of second in command; call him Toner's right-hand man. Trigger L, like Toner, is noted for being ambitious and strong-minded. Trigger L and Toner are frequently seen together wherever Toner hangs out, making him one of Toner's most trusted men in carrying out as the one of the top-dogs as the Temple Locos' second in command. Toner and Trigger L are the most significant persons in Temple Locos; they are the ones who formed the clique's conceptual structure, and most crucially, they have relationships and collaborate with the outside of the community to bring drugs into the neighborhood and distribute them in the streets. THE SILENT RISE Amidst the chaos of Temple Locos XV3, a new name, Manzo Salazar, appeared. He was a former inmate in the San Andreas Correctional Facility. He had already served a five-year prison sentence for his involvement in a home invasion. During his detention, Manzo met Oscar "El Jefe" Garcia, a high-ranking member of the Mexican Mafia, and they formed a strong bond. And at the time, "El Jefe" trusted him to assist him oversee the drug trade in prison. After all his time in prison, his sentence was finally complete. Prior to his release, "El Jefe" assigned Manzo to assist a little street gang in Temple that also known as Temple Locos XV3. He was assigned to work as a "runner" for drugs that ready to be distributed on the streets. When Manzo got to Temple Locos XV3, he met Toner. They discussed about the ties with the Mexican Mafia, and they got deep into conversation resulted in a sense of trust. Manzo proposed a compromise to strengthen the ties between the Temple Locos XV3 and the Mexican Mafia. Finally, the clique has gained more control over the street drugs distribution.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 07, 2026 CROSS-JURISDICTIONAL ORGANIZATION OVERVIEW For years, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has investigated racketeering and narcotics distribution in the metropolitan areas of Detroit and Atlanta. In line with standard operating procedures, these regional offices have strict segregation to minimize the exposure risk to the federal government. Prior to these recent developments, the Los Santos Branch Office had classified local illegal operations as independent domestic threats by virtue of the lack of verified interregional operational links. But forensic data and intelligence from an interagency investigation in the state of San Andreas have now officially confirmed the existence of an active expansion on the West Coast under the supervision of entities outside the state. THE BLUEBERRY HOMICIDE OF OMARION MCCRAY LOS SANTOS, SA. The Los Santos branch of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has released details regarding the murder of Omarion McCray. A factory worker discovered McCray’s body on a concrete slab at an industrial site in Blueberry County in December. The forensic team confirmed that he had sustained five gunshot wounds. Local authorities and SAFD secure the Blueberry County crime scene following the discovery of Omarion McCray's body. After months of searching through surveillance reports, Omarion McCray was found dead in the town of Blueberry. The body was found by a factory worker, and the case is still under investigation. He is believed to have been the killer of a senator in the state of Georgia, Clay Davis, in 2021. The senator held so much evidence and so many documents that could stand against the Black Mafia Family in Georgia, including Atlanta, and Omarion McCray was allegedly sent by the notorious Black Mafia Family to assassinate the senator to cover their tracks. The local law enforcement agency initially treated the incident as a fatal dispute linked to drugs and car theft. The FBI took over the investigation after identifying Omarion McCray as a high-priority federal fugitive linked to the Black Mafia Family. MAPPING THE LOS SANTOS NETWORK Previous intelligence files maintained by the Detroit and Atlanta field offices indicated the two targets had no record of being in the same location or working together in joint operations in the eastern sectors. The Bureau’s first approach was based on the theory that the pair were acting independently. However, the finding of Omarion McCray’s body initiated a huge data-matching process, using local surveillance data, routine traffic checks, and field interviews in Los Santos. The intelligence reports indicated the existence of a well-knit, close-knit communication system. The investigation has revealed operational trails of the notorious criminal enterprise Black Mafia Family within the County of Los Santos and the Greater Los Santos area. Prior to his death, Omarion McCray was seen in the same place with a documented Detroit BMF figure, Jabari Galvino, alongside several unidentified individuals who are suspected of managing BMF’s operation in Los Santos, Kamron Wright, and Cody “Doc” Oates. Omarion McCray & Jabari Galvino's interests were identified during a late-night interaction at a local 7/11. The investigation process noted that BMF previously established promotional billboards around Vinewood to advertise their music brand (based on a SAN interview). However, this billboard marketing presence alone was insufficient to prove the BMF’s existence in the City of Flowers and Sunshine. The Los Santos Field Office has mapped the following structural hierarchy and logistical overlaps: Regional Network: Federal investigators found a direct operational connection between the late Omarion McCray and an interstate agent, Jabari Galvino. Command and Influence: Results of monitoring indicate that Galvino functions with a significant level of independence under the direct control and with the resource support of Cody “Doc” Oates. East-West Bridge: The federal probe into the intelligence operation was widened to the western district, sparking the federal probe into Kamron. Investigators discovered that Rich Money Inc. had a subsidiary, White Wing, that was operationally connected to Doc’s operations in the east, i.e., STR8 HUSTLA RECORDS, establishing a confirmed cross-city distribution network. Support Team Operations & Front Companies: Doc uses this infrastructure to run other tactical teams in the western region. Black Crown runs these cells, and the money funnels back to Doc’s main base of operations in the eastern region, High Roller Distro. Doc owns and controls both of these businesses outright. This case is still under investigation by the FBI, with federal prosecutors seeking charges under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act. Further updates will be provided through the Los Santos Field Office.
