E/S Bounty Hunter WATTS
Bloods Gang
The East Side (E/S) Bounty Hunters Watts Bloods gang are a large and infamous street gang established in the Watts district of Los Santos, around 1969/1970, and was firmly established by 1972. The Bounty Hunters have the distinction of being the largest gang, in terms of membership and geographical area, in all of Los Santos. Their main area, which is in the Nickerson Gardens Housing Projects is from Roy Lowenstein BLVD. (north) to Carson (south) between Little Bighorn AVE. (east) and Dutch London ST. (west). They occupy an area of 0.54 square miles making them the largest gang territory in Watts. Originally known as the Green Jackets, it is believed that Gary Barker was very influential during Bounty Hunters' beginnings. Also Bobby Jack (b. 1955) was one of the founding members. The Bell Haven Bounty Hunters formed around 1978 to the west of Dutch London St. just south of the train tracks. Around 1981, Renee McGowen began the Lot Boys sub-set of the Bounty Hunters. Today the Bounty Hunters are regarded by Authorities to be an extremely violent street gang who developed rivalries with a multitude of other street gangs. Their main rivals are the Grape Street Watts Crips from the Jordan Downs Housing Projects.
