Venice 13
In the early 1990s, the Shorelines became involved in a war with the neighboring Venice 13 gang over control of Oakwood's drug trade, which left almost two dozen people dead in 9 months. Eventually V13 would acquire the support of fellow Sotel 13, Santa Monica 13, and Culver City 13 SureƱos gangs through the Mexican Mafia and the war eventually ended with a cease-fire negotiated between V13 and the Shorelines in exchange for a new community center in the Oakwood neighborhood.

near Venice and Mombasa.
Over Maine I have rested.”
