History
The East Side (E/S) 92 Bishop Bloods, or "9-Deuce Watts Bishops'' are a small, yet long standing African-American street gang located in the Watts district of South Los Angeles, California. Their neighborhood is bordered by Firestone Blvd. In the north to 92nd Street in the south, between Elm Street in the west towards Alameda Street in the east. This gang was founded in the early 1970's by O.G. and founder William Bishop on 88th street and Bandera street in Watts. By 1972, a man named OG Bobby Lavender helped solidify this gang's presence after the death of a close friend perpetrated by Raymond Lee Washington's East Side Crips. Although this gang claims "Watts' ', the majority of their turf is actually located in the unincorporated community of Florence, California. 92nd Street is their southern border with Firestone being their northern border. They share their territory with the Hispanic Watts Ivy Street 13 as well as the Watts Varrio Elm Street, with the Florencia 13 gang to the north of their turf.
The Pueblo Bishops consist of two cliques; the 52 (Five Deuce) Pueblo Bishops and the 92 Bishop Bloods. The 5-Deuce Pueblos Bishop Bloods also known as the βEast Side Low Bottomsβ or βLow Bottoms 50s,β which is their largest clique and is located on 52nd Street, inside of the Pueblo Housing Projects. The Projects spread from Compton Blvd and Alameda Street, and stretch from 50th Street to 59th Street (The 50s). The 92 Pueblo Bishops also known as the 9-Deuce Bishop Bloods or 92 (9-Deuce) Be-bop Watts Bishops Bloods which is located on 92nd Street all the way to Firestone Blvd, between Graham Ave and Elm Street. From the 1950s to the Dubs, the β50s' ' represent the Pueblos Bishop Bloods in South Los Angeles, and the βDubsβ is a reference to the 92 Bishop Bloods.
News
