Oklahoma Regions

The Central Region consists not only of Oklahoma City but also the surrounding suburban cities such as, Midwest City, Del City, Norman and Edmond to name a few. The gang problem has spread into every one of these communities. We have over 100 different gang sets in the area with an estimated gang population of 8,000. Our drive-by shootings have tripled since 2000. The majority of our shootings seem to be triggered either from a dispute over a female or a drug deal gone bad. After the initial shooting then it becomes a set vs. set issue. Additionally, we have seen assault rifle shootings drastically increase in recent years.

In the past few years we have seen a huge increase in gang violence, particularly in the Hispanic gangs. Our three largest Hispanic gang sets are the South Side Locos (SSL), Grande Barrio Centrale (GBC) and the Juaritos who also go by Grande Barrio Loco (GBL). These three gangs have a combined membership of over 1,500. Since the summer of 2003 we have experienced a marked increase in the gang homicides between these groups with some being directly tied to the Varrio Tortilla Flats gang out of LA.

The other three largest gangs in the region are the 107 Hoovers, Westside Rolling 60’s and the Rolling 90’s. These three have in excess of 300 members each. Of these three the 107 Hoovers are the most active and violent. They are engaged in heavy drug dealing and numerous shootings and assaults. Due to their aggressiveness they have been retaliated upon in recent months with the result being several of them being murdered in about a one month time span. More recently the 107 Hoovers and the Shotgun Crips have been involved in an ongoing war with the two Neighborhood sets. This began over drug turf and has now erupted into a full scale war. There have been numerous homicides, ADW’s and drive by shootings related to this dispute.

The north eastern region consists of Tulsa and the surrounding communities including Okmulgee, Muskogee and Bartlesville. The largest gang in the area is the Hoover Crips. Their main sets are the 107, 54,63, 57 and 27. Most of their disputes are with the Neighborhood Crips involving homicides, shootings and fights at the schools. During the summer of 2008 Tulsa saw 4 gang related murders involving the Hoover Crips, Neighborhood Crips and the Bloods.

Tulsa Crips and Blood gangs are not traditionally turf based. The sets will move thought Tulsa to further their criminal enterprise. We are also seeing the Crips gangs move into a high-bred style where the younger generation trying not to align with Hoover or Neighborhood but just using the Crip. There has been an increase of Blood gang members being seen on the streets of Tulsa. 

Folk Nation Gangster Disciples are becoming more prevalent in Tulsa and most are aligning with the Crip sets.
