![]() ![]() ![]() On August 31, 2001, the Los Angeles City Attorney sought a gang injunction against members of the Eastside Longo. Their other cliques consist of the Malditos (Little Bad Ones), Night Owls, Primas (female clique), Stoners, Pee Wees, Tiny Locos, Dog Town, and the Chicos Malos (CMS). The oldest cliques and subsets of the Eastside Longo are the Barrio Viejo (Old Town) followed by the Latin Town Playboyz and the Loney Boys. They share this region of Long Beach with three of their main rivals the Rollin 20 Crips and the Insane Crips as well as Barrio Probe. Their territory stretches from Daisy Street to Junipero Ave between Pacific Coast Hwy and 4th Street. The Eastside Longo, claim areas around MacAuthor Park, located on Anaheim Street and are primarily based in Central Long Beach. The Varrio Longos harsh treatment towards different ethnic groups are the primary reason for the formation of Asian, Samoan and Cambodian street gangs such as the Tiny Rascals and the Asian Boyz. The Varrio Longos are perhaps the most hated criminal street gangs in the city, due to the fact that they have killed members from every major street gang in Long Beach. The Northside Longo were the last of the three to emerge taking root in North Long Beach. However, by the 1970s, members broke off forming two subgroups known as the Eastside and Westside Longos, due to internal fighting. The Varrio Longo 13 originated during the 1960s, as a single unit. The Longos X13 are considered the biggest gang in Long Beach, which allow them to take on several enemies at once. The Longos have expanded into other areas such as Tijuana, Mexico, Washington, and Bakersfield. They adapted the Sur13 or X13 sometime in the 1970s, like many Hispanic street gangs that fall under the Surenos brand, they pay homage to the Mexican Mafia. The name Longo is derived from “Long” (Long Beach). The second largest of the three are the West Side Longos (WSL13), with around 300 members, followed by the North Side Longos (NSL13). The Longo 13 is made up of three sets: The East Side Longos (ESL13) which is the largest of the three, with an estimate of over 600 members. The Varrio Longo 13 are the largest Sureñogang throughout the Harbor Area of Long Beach, California. ![]()
