The Aztecas are a proud Hispanic street gang that traditionally claim a small territory in the North Rancho area of south Los Santos.
History[]
The Aztecas are an older gang that has existed for decades, but became largely inactive in recent times. Jose Martin Perez revived the gang in 2019. At the end of 2021, Gabriel Navarro arrived in Los Santos, quickly taking over as el Jefe in 2022, and beginning to yet again rebuild the Aztecas.
On August 27th, 2022, the Aztecas officially disbanded and merged with Marabunta Grande to create ''One Blue" in the South Side. It is unknown if the Aztecas gang will ever reform, however el Jefe Gabriel Navarro has given Marabunta Grande full permission to exterminate anyone who attempts to revive the gang. The former Aztecas later allowed for Gulag Gang to take over their former block, as Azteca block was already inside GG's claimed turf.
As of 2023, a new group using the Aztecas name emerged, led by Liam Onita, persist and keep the name alive, although they no longer claim a turf. They have no connection to the old Aztecas apart from Kat alta.
Territory[]
Prior to 2023, the Aztecas claimed the apartment block opposite the Davis Police Department, on Innocence Boulevard.

Leaders[]
Jose Martin Perez[]
Jose revived the gang in 2019, recruiting members and amassing a formidable gang, succeeding in wars between both the Leanbois and Vagos. Over time, however, his presence in the city began to dwindle, and as quickly as his gang grew, they faded as well. He eventually returned to the city, disappointed with how the gang progressed without him, and left to join the East Side Ballas.
Antonio Espinosa †[]
Once Jose started taking a less active role in the gang, Antonio took over as el Jefe, appointing Violet Noreguarde as his second-in-command. They took an active role in empowering the gang once again, with Violet often holding down the turf alone while Antonio worked on recruitment and gang restructures. Eventually Violet and Antonio came to numerous significant disagreements, and Violet left the gang. 8 months later, the Aztecas entered a war with the East Side Ballas. Jose returned to the city, and left the gang to join them. An hour after he left, a battle ensued, and Antonio was killed by Tyrone Biggums and Jose.
Tom Ryan[]
Tom Ryan took the mantle of el Jefe after Antonio's death. The gang was practically nonexistent at this point, after Jose sold their houses to the East Side Ballas and Antonio and Violet Noreguarde had departed. He and his Fiancée Ell LeFant relocated to the Aztecas' current block, rebuilding the gang and making a name for themselves. Like those before him, however, Tom grew disillusioned with the gang, slowly becoming less active. He eventually handed control to Gabriel Navarro, before he and Ell retired from the gang life.

After being left in charge of a new era of Aztecas, Gabriel took to seriously restructuring the gang. First, he decided the Leadership would be equally impacted by three el Jefes, and appointed Blake Jackson as his second. He also formed a High Command within the group to manage growth, promoting Jack A. Roo to the first Capitano, and began recruiting more able bodies.
Months after the merge between Marbunta Grande and the Aztecas discussions were had with the previous regime of El Jefes in relation to the idea of reviving the Aztecas but under the direction and vision of Liam Onita. Many discussions were had with the former leaders and ultimately they gave their blessing to Liam to bring the group back in accordance to his vision. It was after the blessing the flags were picked up and the focus shifting to restructuring the gang from the inside out with the idea to recruit not for the sake of numbers but quality bodies.
