Stones gang, which is affiliated with the Bloods, and is centered around Hillcrest Drive and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
Although Baldwin Village is adjacent to one of the most affluent African American neighborhood in Los Angeles, Baldwin Hills, it is one of the most notoriously violent places in city and is known across the state for its strong gangs ties.
