LATIN KINGS GANG

LATIN KINGS GANG
Latin Kings are the oldest, largest and most organized Hispanic Street Gang, which has its roots dating back to the 1940's in Chicago, Illinois. Latin King Documents reveal a man by the name "Gino Gustavo Colon" (a.k.a. Lord Gino) is considered the "SUN" of the Almighty Latin King Nation in Chicago and has been for a long time. Latin King Headquarters is located on Beach and Spaulding in Northwest Chicago.
Louis Felipe and his family were Cuban immigrants who moved to a Chicago suburb when he was seven years old. By the time he reached his fourteenth birthday he was recruited and joined a local street gang called the pee wee kings. In 1985, Louis Felipe moved to the Bronx, New York and was detained and later convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to ten years in state penitentiary.
On January 20, 1986 in the confines of Collins Correctional Facility in New York a new era was born when Louis Felipe emerged as "King Blood", the Latin Kings master scriber, penning a 42 page manifesto setting forth the history, rules, regulations and goals of the Latin King Nation. This manifesto described in detail how Kings were to act and how to become knowledgeable about Latin King Culture. Example Latin King Documents are always written on yellow paper and signed in Black ink. If a member of the Latin Kings uses white paper and blue ink, the person writing the letter will always start the letter with this phrase on top of the letter. "EXCUSE THE WHITE PAPER AND BLUE INK" and will always sign the document with his Latin King name and A.K.A.
Antonio Fernandez, better know as "King Tone" was the leader or Inca of the Almighty Latin King Queen Nation. He claims to have transformed a deadly prison gang into a Community-based organization. He has enemies - the Cops, the Feds, the turncoats among his own Kings and the Bloods who seem to be slashing everyone in sight. Currently serving a 12-year federal prison sentence.
