In nineteen seventy nine, the Hoovers would be accused of
the unthinkable. O. G. Raymond Washington, founder of the East
Coast Crips, was gunned down. The Hoovers denied having anything
to do with Washington's death. It's alleged that someone from
within the East Coast was the trigger.

and four uninvolved partygoers, Philip Westbrooks, Diane Raspberry, Shannon Cannon,
(05:21):
and Darryl Coleman, all teenagers. Five others were wounded in
the spray of fifteen to twenty rounds. Police soon tied
the shooting to the ongoing Hoover blood feud. Prosecutors alleged
Fudge led the hit to retaliate against Brewer for stealing
his car. Fudge, then twenty one, was convicted of all
(05:42):
five murders and ultimately sentenced to death. His cohort Fred
fat Fred Knight, accused of firing the shotgun, was acquitted
in a separate trial. In nineteen eighty seven, seven Foux
Hoover members, along with Kitchen Crips were gone on a
killing spree. After all ar Jones, a member of the
seventh Fox Hoover Crips, was killed by a member of
(06:04):
East Coast Hoovers were looking for some get back. Seven
Foux Hoover member Andre Moore, along with Todd Lavera and
Tracy Carter. The first victims would be a couple at
a mobile station at the corner of Broadway and Slawson.
David and Namoor Thompson had just left the church service
and pulled over to use a pay phone when they
(06:25):
were approached at gunpoint by the suspects. They were robbed
of their possessions, but after taking everything they had, mister
Thompson began to pray and he was then shot in
the head. A few hours later, around one am, Rochelle
Stewart was leaving Tom's liquor store on Hoover Street. Two men,
(06:46):
Manual Figueroa and Leo Pardo, Salgado, who sat in a
nearby car, began flirting with her. After turning down their advances,
Rochelle was approached by Andre Moore, Levera, and Carter Rochelle Nulavere,
who asked her why was she talking to the guys
in the car. Moments later, the three suspects approached the car.

when he rolled up the window, he opened fire. Eventually,
Salgatto would die from his wounds and Figarol would die.
After giving his statement to the police, Detectives would eventually

multiple witnesses, they would all be found guilty. On Halloween
(07:33):
night in nineteen eighty eight, a drive by shooting left
one gang member dead and four others wounded. Larry Alonzo Winters,
identified as a member of the fifty two Hoover Crips,
was the chief suspect and the Halloween drive by murder
of a rival gang member. Before police could arrest him, Winters,
who would escape from a California youth facility, fled Los Angeles.
(07:56):
He resurfaced in Shreveport, Louisiana, where the first set of
Hoovers would be established outside of Los Angeles. In nineteen
eighty nine to five, Duce Hoover member Charles CC Tyser
was killed in the drive bound forty second Place. Tyson
was with several men who apparently were paying over another
game's graffiti on an apartment house wall in the eight
hundred block of West forty second Place. According to police,
(08:19):
about nine thirty pm, several people drove bying a red car,
shouting out, they said, and began shooting at the men
in front of the wall.

one year old Shaperio Tyrone McMillan was shot to death
in front of a liquor store of Vermont Avenue in

McMillan was not a gang member, but police suspect that
McMillan was killed in retaliation for the Tyser shooting. The
(08:53):
gunman fled in a waiting red and white compact car.

Around this time.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Back in Louisiana, winners would go by Dante to avoid
the laws. Winners would be wanted for question and connection
with the murder in Louisiana. Also in December, a nineteen
year old man became the first fatality shot down while
leaving a local hangout of the Rolling Sixties faction of
the Crips. Police said the Hoover Crips, of which Winners
(09:17):
was a leader, were responsible. But in nineteen nineties three
Poor police said a man identified as four was shot
through the heart by a nine millimeter round five from
a passing cadillac. A fifteen year old boy standing nearby
in front of a gang hangout was wounded in the foot.
After running the fingerprints through the Los Angeles Police Gang
computer determined that the dead man was Winners. Back in
(09:40):
Los Angeles, the Hoover Wars carried on into the nineties.
In nineteen ninety three, a group of Denver Lane Bloods
were hanging out near an apartment on one hundred eleven
Place in Figure Row when a car cruised by the
driver allegedly flashed the Hoover Crip hand sign to antagonize.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
Missus Antonio Shavis Moses He's nineteen years old, known gang
member with a long history of arrests. Today, Moses is
on the run. One of the key figures in a
senseless crime that has outraged people throughout the country, the
shooting of a popular fifth grade teacher in Los Angeles.
On February twenty second, nineteen ninety six, Moses and another
(10:18):
reputed gang member, eighteen year old Fraser Francis, were walking
in the area of figaroa elementary school in south central
LA just after nine am.
Speaker 9 (10:28):
Francis reportedly opened fire on a rival gang member who
was driving by the school At that very moment. Thirty
year old Alfredo Perez was teaching a class in the
school library. A stray bullet pierced a window and struck
him in the forehead. Though such an injury is often fatal,
Perez is currently in a rehabilitation hospital, having made what
(10:50):
his doctors call a miraculous recovery. Fraser Francis, the alleged gunman,
surrendered to police the day after the shooting. Antonio Moses, however,
has disappeared, and authorities believed he may have fled the city.
Antonio Moses is six foot two inches tall and weighs
one hundred and eighty pounds. He goes by the gang
(11:11):
names Mont, Deuce and Lilmont. Both Moses and Fraser Francis
have been charged with attempted murder and assault.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
By nineteen ninety seven, the case would be dropped after
witnesses recanting their statements due to possible gang intimidation. Francis
would be free days later, and Moses would be back
in prison after violating his probation. The nineties would be
the year that we would see every Hoover set, with
the exception of five Dukes, drop the crypt. From now
on they would be called Hoover Criminals. They would also
(11:42):
take on the Moniker Ebk or Everybody killer. The heat
was still on with anybody who wanted to smoke with
the Hoovers. The two thousands would be no different than
any other decade the Hoover stayed active. On June sixth,
two thousand and eight, the Hoover gang member named Cleveland
moo Time of the five Duce Hoovers, was shot to
(12:02):
death allegedly by Denver Lane Bloods. The very next day,
June seventh, and affiliate from a trade gangster Cryps, allied
with Hoovers, was also killed. These back to back murders
infuriated the Hoovers. Wiretap evidence later revealed that Kevin Big K. Maddox,
a veteran Sevenfolk Hoover, immediately plotted an aggressive getback for
(12:24):
the murders. He directed his soldiers to hunt down Denver
Lane bloods at a known hangout, a music studio on
one hundred and tenth Street, and even provided a vehicle
in guns. Over the next forty eight hours, Hoover gang
members armed with rifles stalked the area. Unbeknownst to them,
LAPD had a task force watching under Operation Hoover Hunt.
(12:49):
Officers had placed covert trackers and were telling the Hoover
his squad in unmarked cars and even helicopters. On June eighth,
two thousand and eight, asth Maddox and Smith prepared to
launch their attack, police moved in. In the chaos, the
Hoovers open fire on a pursuing LAPD officer. Ultimately, Kevin
(13:09):
Maddox and Morgan Smith were arrested before they could kill
their intended Denver Lane targets. On August sixteen, two thousand
and nine, a thirteen year old boy became one of
the youngest victims of Hoover Crips violence. Du Kwan four
Star Allen, a thirteen year old member of the ninety
four Hoover Criminals, was walking home from the Broadway swap meet.
(13:31):
He was wearing the Hoover signature orange bandana when he
was confronted by a member of the Main Street Mafia Crips.
Christopher Thomas of the Main Street Crips demanded to know
Allen's gang affiliation. When Allen declared nine for Hoover, Thomas
shot him at close range. Allen collapsed and later died
from the gunshot wound. Police arrested Christopher Thomas, and in
(13:55):
a subsequent trial, he was found guilty of murder. The
judge sent Thomas to fifty years to life. On August
twenty fifth, two thousand and nine, and an apparent retaliation,
a shooter walked into Main Street Crips hood near Main
Street in one hundred and fifth in open fire, killing
dray Von James twenty nine and Robert Nelson, sixteen, who
(14:18):
were associated with the Main Street Crips. Both victims died
of multiple gunshot wounds. Investigators noted graffiti and other evidence
suggesting the Hoover Criminals were responsible for these twin murders.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
In late twenty.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Ten, the Hoovers war with the Lanes will heat up
when two Denver Lane bloods in twenty and sixteen on
As Seddrick Parker and DeAndre Baby Brasey Bonner would target
the Hoovers. There would be a string of shootings over
from January twenty sixteen. In March twenty sixteen, three people
would die as a result of this war, including a
member of the Hoover Stephen Johnson. Both Brazy and Parker
(14:56):
would be arrested and would be sentenced to life in prison.
