Bounty Hunter Bloods |BHB|
The gang was originally established in 1969 but became well established by 1972. Whilst today it is a set of the Bloods it was originally known as the Green Jackets. Gary Barker and Bobby Jack are believed to be the set's founders.
The gang is perhaps most known for its longstanding rivalry with the Grape Street Watts Crips which has been described by gang experts as the most violent and long lasting feud between two gangs that are in the Watts area. In 1992, the Watts truce was declared which saw a rapid decline in violence between the two street gangs. However by 2005 the truce had reportedly imploded with the homicide rate increasing to at least seven.
In 1993 Regis Deon Thomas a member of the Bounty Hunter Watts Bloods shot and killed two Compton Police Department officers during a traffic stop. They were the first Compton police officers to be killed in the line of duty in the departments 65-year history.
In 1997, members of the 118 East Coast Crips shot a school bus in the hopes of killing members of the Bounty Hunter Bloods killing 17 year old bystander Corie Williams instead.
In 2003 shots were fired at Los Angeles Police Department patrol officers in two incidents in the Nickerson Gardens projects. In 2000 the FBI convicted 30 Bounty Hunter Watts Bloods members on federal drug violations for the distribution and conspiracy to distribute crack cocaine. An injunction was imposed on the gang in 2004 which limited the movements of members.
