What is venice 13?

Venice 13, also known as V13, is a prominent Mexican-American street gang based in Los Angeles, California. The gang was founded in the 1960s in the Venice Beach area and has since grown to become one of the most well-known and influential gangs in the region.

Venice 13 is known for its involvement in criminal activities such as drug trafficking, extortion, and violence. The gang also has a strong presence in the prison system, with many of its members serving time behind bars.

Despite their criminal reputation, members of Venice 13 also engage in community activities and social services, such as providing support for local residents and organizing events.

The gang has a longstanding rivalry with other gangs in the area, particularly with the Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) gang. This rivalry has led to ongoing conflicts and violence between the two groups.

Law enforcement agencies in Los Angeles have been actively working to combat the influence of Venice 13 and other gangs in the region through targeted enforcement efforts and community outreach programs.
