South Side Compton Crips
The South Side Compton Crips (also known as the South Side Crips) are a "set" of the Crips gang alliance, based in Compton, California. This gang is known for the murder of Tupac Shakur.
During the 1970s, most of Compton and the territory east of Long Beach Boulevard was dominated by the Kelly Park Compton Crips and Neighbourhood Compton Crips. The only unclaimed territory was the area west of Long Beach Boulevard, which is where the South Side Compton Crips formed.
During the crack epidemic, the South Side Compton Crips operated numerous drug houses throughout their territory.
On September 7, 1996, a violent altercation involving the South Side Compton Crips escalated into the shooting of Tupac Shakur. This incident is often cited as a pivotal event that intensified gang rivalries in the area.
In 1996, a group of South Side Compton Crips led by Orlando Anderson attacked Trevon Lane, a Mob Piru Blood, at Lakewood Mall. During the altercation, Anderson allegedly tried unsuccessfully to steal Lane's gold Death Row Records chain, which was a gift from Suge Knight.
On September 7, 1996, Tupac Shakur, Suge Knight and several associates of Death Row Records, including Lane, went to Las Vegas to attend the Bruce Seldon vs. Mike Tyson boxing match. After the match, the Death Row entourage were walking in the lobby of the MGM Grand Hotel, where Lane spotted Anderson. After Lane whispered something in Shakur's right ear, Shakur allegedly went to Anderson and asked "You from the South?", referring to the South Side Compton Crips. Then Shakur punched Anderson, knocking him to the ground and the rest of the Death Row entourage continued beating him.
After the fight, MGM security guards and Las Vegas police tried to persuade Anderson to file a complaint, but he declined. Anderson caught a taxi to the Treasure Island Hotel, where several other South Side Compton Crips were staying. At the hotel, Anderson and the other Crips allegedly agreed to shoot Shakur after his scheduled performance at Club 662.
Several hours after this fight, Shakur and Knight were on their way to Club 662, which was owned by Knight. While their vehicle was at a red light, a white Cadillac stopped next to them and an occupant of the Cadillac opened fire with a handgun. Shakur was hit four times and taken to University Medical Center of Southern Nevada, where he died six days later.
