Latin Lords

The Latin Lords are a Hispanic street gang within the city. Their primary territory is the Chicano section of the city, although they are also extremely prominent on the East Coast. Members are typically of Mexican, Cuban, Spanish,Colombian, or Dominican descent, Dominicans mainly only on the East Coast. The East Coast version of the Latin Lords also has some Puerto Rican members. The Latin Lords have recently aligned themselves with newer Latino gangs on the East Coast, such as the Dominicans Don't Mess to strengthen their grip on the drug trade, and attempt to drive away enemy gangs such as the San Juan Soldados &nbsp

 Appearance 

Latin Lords always represent by wearing black and gold, their signature colors, and clothing sometimes features images of crowns or related images. Some Latin Lords have tattoos, mainly of crowns and lions. Some members may also wear beads that feature black, gold, and occasionally red.

Territory

The Latin Lords can be found on the East Coast of the city, as well as in the Chicano area, where they originated. They maintain a strong street presence in their territories and are one of the city's largest gangs. Within Lord territories there is usually graffiti signifying their presence. Some such markings are the words "Latin Lords", "LL", "Amor de Corona", "Lord Love", images of crowns, lions, kings, country flags with crowns atop them, upside down pitchforks or other gang signs, or many other things. In their territory, Latin Lords can be found sometimes in groups, or driving around. There may also be gang members patrolling or watching the area.

 Behavior 

Latin Lords are often violent and aggresive, especially when their back is to the wall. The Lords are very territorial and often quickly apprehend anyone who is not supposed to be in their turf. Many members carry weapons, commonly baseball bats, knives, pistols, micro uzi submachine guns, or even assault rifles like AK-47s. They often travel in packs. It is not uncommon to see female members since they also let women join. Female members have proven to be just as aggressive, and frequently taunt or harass civilians, particularly non-Hispanic women. Latin Lords mostly listen to rap music.
