After the 405 freeway tore through predominantly Mexican American and immigrant communities, many migrated west into the El Corona area of Verona Beach. Originally the El Corona area was labeled as a "servant's zone" and was one of the only areas where African Americans could live in the South Los Santos. During this time South LS had been notoriously known as the "ghetto by the sea" due to the City of Los Santos' negligent attitude toward the area, and as a result El Corona's cheap housing prices which attracted young counterculture artists, poor European immigrants, and maintained an already working-class African American population made it relatively easy for Mexicans to settle in. It was in this extreme poverty that the South Side Locotes 13 (SSL) gang formed, becoming one of the earliest gangs in the city.
Throughout the 1960s the gang grew rapidly and Venice gang members began playing an active role in the California prison system through Mexican Mafia membership, while on the streets the gang viciously battled with NBA creating a rivalry spanning over 50 years and still running. By this time the area was overrun with drugs and times changed, with SSL13 taking control of the drug trade as unemployment and racial tensions escalated, further fueling gang membership. Gang members found income supplying drugs to the hippies, and eventually high-income residents who came to El Corona from affluent areas as crack cocaine arrived. In the 1990s El Corona exploded when a war broke out between NBA, the NBA and the Willowfield 18st gang. As ordered by the Mexican Mafia, SSL was to maintain control of Oakwood's drug trade and eventually a peace treaty formed between SSL and the Willowfield 18st. The 1980s and 1990s brought on a series of revitalization as white homeowners began purchasing property and renovating old houses, causing the City of Los Santos to combat the gang problem although SSL13 still remains active.

El Corona, South Side Locotes 13's turf.
South Side Locotes are often seen rocking blue colors, and Raiders gear. They have no tolerance to black individuals. South Side Locotes are known for being violent to other neighbours which are not gang banging, they usually tax them, rob them or even sexually harass female members of the community.
A neighbour giving out a interview to local police department:
Violence is everywhere, these guys just simply dont care. If they have a gun? They'll shoot. If they have a knife? They'll stab people. They are violent. No body is safe around El Corona, they extorture people. They are robbing local stores. Workers are scared to do their shift.
OOC
If anyone wishes to join the gang, he must have a Hispanic name and last name, as this gang is racist we wont accept no races but Hispanic.
We dont have no applications for the gang, so the recruitment is done RPly, through the small missions and a jump in.
Act as a real life gang banger, there's no trucking, nothing but drug sales.
SKIN DOESNT MATTER, YOU CAN USE ANY HISPANIC SKIN.
