Vagos

The  Eastside Vagos ( ESV ) also known as the  Vagos  , is a Mexican street gang was led by el Jefe, Arush Patel "Speedy" Santana, currently led by el Jefe, Lex Dyminz. They operate out of the Barrio, based in the Jamestown area of Rancho, and La Fuente Blanca.

They are said to be the largest Hispanic street gang in Los Santos. The gang's main business revolves around pushing guns, drugs and various other legal and criminal activities.

Jesus Garcia †
Jesus began recruiting for the Vagos he recruited Lil Loco & Speedy. Jesus was the leader, until his untimely death.

Fernando “Lil Loco” Martinez
After Jesus' death, Lil Loco took over as El Jefe. His time as leader of the Vagos was short-lived, as he mysteriously disappeared from the city shortly after. He would later return to the gang, with a new focus as a loyal soldier.

Arush Patel "Speedy" Santana
Speedy, the El Jefe of the new and "reborn" Vagos, began as a soldier during Jesus's time as the Jefe. After Jesus' death, Speedy was one of the few members that were left. The Vagos fell apart; past members had died or left the city or the gang entirely but Speedy took it upon himself to rebuild the gang to what it is today. As the Vagos grew, Speedy stepped back from leadership relying on his Vice Jefe's and Capitans to lead the Vagos on a day-to-day basis.

Juan Cuervo
After another large exodus of Vagos, Speedy's decision to lead the Vagos wavered. At a meeting held at the ranch Juan stepped up to Speedy, wishing to protect the new generation of Vagos he had been raising within the gang, Juan asked to take leadership and then got on his knees to await Speedy's judgement. Speedy handed over the reins of the Vagos to Juan.

Lex Dyminz
Lex was the right hand to Juan throughout his tenure as Jefe and ran the day to day operations as a Soldado and eventually becoming Vice Jefe. The family often disagreed with Juan's leadership and Lex spent most of his time defending the actions until he could no longer justify doing so. After the blooding out of Vice Jefa Vero Garcia, which none of the family agreed with and felt Juan could have pardoned her, a civil war began to brew. Lines were drawn with all but a couple members on the side of the current Jefe and the majority siding with Lex. Weeks later Lex's adoptive son Mikey Silver wanted to drop his flag citing Juan's leadership and the dragging down of the Vagos name by his actions as the reason for his departure. Before he was able to speak his peace, Juan drew his gun and began shooting. The family responded by drawing their weapons and the final shot downing Juan came from Lex. Days rolled on and meetings were held by both "Old Vagos" and "New Vagos." It was at this time they decided to discuss what was best for the future of the family. The OG's and current Vagos voted Lex to assume the rank of El Jefe.

Territory
The Vagos mainland is the Rancho Projects, commonly known as the Barrio,.It is a large housing project located on Dutch London Street and Jamestown Street in southern Rancho, Los Santos. Members can be found in alleyways, back alleys, and rooftops throughout Jamestown Street. Vagos can also be located at La Fuente Blanca, a large ranch owned and occupied by Speedy that serves as planting grounds for Putos Frutos along the Senora Road in Vinewood Hills, just to the north of Los Santos.

Vagos members are seen drinking, driving cars, hanging out in groups of 2–5 on the sidewalk, smoking cigarettes and marijuana, and drinking Pißwasser. They are easily identified by their modern urban attire and yellow bandanas. Although ESV is characterized as a largely Mexican American street gang, they also include members of Asian and European origin.

Territory Comparison to other Gangs, Groups, & Motor Clubs
 

2.0 Leanbois / 3.0 Cleanbois
During the downfall of the Vagos, Speedy fought different wars alone. One of the gangs that he went to war with was the Leanbois. Every day, Speedy and the Leanbois would engage in a shootout with each other in the Southside. During one particular event, Speedy and the Vagos engaged in a shootout with Lang Buddha and Alabaster Slim.

The Vagos successfully gunned down Buddha and Slim; and while the two men were bleeding out in the street, the police and EMS arrived at the scene. Speedy was not comfortable with the idea of the police interfering with gang war related situations. Speedy warned the police that they should not come to the Southside in the future.

Speedy ambushed the ambulance that was carrying Buddha and Slim, and drove to the North, where he spoke to the two men. Buddha was surprised and appreciative of Speedy saving them from arrest. Buddha, Slim, and Speedy agreed that their "beef"/war was over, and opted to form a new alliance. Moving forward, the Leanbois and Vagos often worked together, and continue to have a strong alliance.

3.0 R.U.S.T
