83 CRIPS vs BGF, How One Man OBLITERATED BGF in Baltimore!

welcome back to another episode of swamp stories for this video we head back to Baltimore once again I know you may be tired of seeing this city but there's honestly so many wild stories that I may have to cover them all and for this one we cover a strange organization nothing like I've ever seen before this is wilder than LA on paper but for this crew it was one man doing all the damage but wait before we get into it make sure to leave a like And subscribe if you're new you can also follow the Instagram page as well so let's get into it Baltimore Maryland one of the three most dangerous cities over the last 20 years every year Baltimore St Louis and New Orleans battle for the position and I don't mean that in a good way cities like these dwarf the West Coast when it comes to Poverty crime and overall dysfunction however over the years La has had a major influence on the street operations of these places in the 90s and early 2000s La members would travel across the country for business dealings and in the process neighbor neighborhoods in these other states gained the Piru Hoover or affiliations well Baltimore was definitely one of these places as many of their neighborhoods have affiliations but the unique aspect is that these names mean nothing and have zero implications they tried to replicate the structure of LA but they failed after a very short try for example the idea of big homies ogs and DPS did not fly in Baltimore whatsoever overall they completely rejected the concept of rank meaning that a young member had way too much pride to look at another man as an OG and definitely way too much pride to take orders from another man as well just because you tell me that these guys over there are my rival doesn't mean that I have to see them as a rival this is because historically everything in Baltimore operated on an individual level so if one guy has a problem with another man from the same neighborhood there's nothing stopping them from beefing on the flip side if a big homie tells him that he has to be Rivals with his friend he's not gonna go for it well for most people in Baltimore this was just accepted as the way things go but for one man he wanted to make a change let me introduce you to a man named Trayvon Hall also known as G true Trayvon grew up in West Baltimore specifically the corner of North Hilton in West Baltimore historically this has been one of the most dangerous Corners in the city where numerous rivalries have taken place well true took major pride in his corner and he wanted to start a crew that could take it over he loved the idea of being the leader of a feared crew a man who could tell other men what to do and that's when he discovered the a tray gangster Crips in La he heard that they had been the most feared for decades only to rival the Hoovers and because the Hoovers already existed in his City he wanted to set up the a tray in Baltimore as well so over the course of the next year true got in contact with two very important Men first he drove to New York City to meet up with their eight tray leader named Biz he pitched him the idea of starting a tray in Baltimore and Biz approved however he explained to him that the man he needs to talk to was all the way in La where the trays originated so that's when he passed him the number of a man nickname Big Menace the leader of the back West said of hre so after communicating over the phone true took a flight to LA to meet up with big Menace during their meeting Menace explained the history of a tray what they represent and how they get down he stressed that fear and domination are their main strengths and that he must instill that in his members after kicking it some more the two became close and Menace was happy to approve G true as the Baltimore a tray leader so in 2013 G True returned to West Baltimore and began recruiting the process took some time but things started to come together in 2015. five official eight trade neighborhoods were formed before this video we focus on g-true's side he led the back West click which covered Lexington Terrace in the north Hilton area well in 2015 his Squad pretty much stayed out of the way to recruit members but then in the spring of 2016 everything changed if you've seen my previous videos you know that gas stations and Corners are very important in the city of Baltimore gas stations are prime locations to sell all kinds of things and once a crew claims one you can pretty much find them there 24 hours a day well early on g-true decided to have members post up on some very important Corners first was the Sunoco gas station on North Hilton and next was the Lexington Terrace projects of course not everyone was thrilled with this especially bgf at the time bgf was the most feared involved Baltimore and they happen to claim all of these same Corners well after a short while bgf began noticing these new a tray members on their Turf and in Baltimore this usually ends in one devastating way but thankfully instead of making a demonstration bgf simply informed the a tray members to stay off their territory even though this was a noble approach g-true was not happy when he heard the news he wanted to use this as an opportunity to prove a point to show the city of Baltimore when a tray is all about so in May of 2016 true started an iMessage group chat with all of his HRA members his first text was asking members to send pictures of bgf members so they all knew who to look for they send pictures of two men Shaheen Brown and Albert Pittman these are the two West Baltimore bgf members who they believed were the most feared and that's when true texted the group chat saying that they better bash these two men before they become respected ahre members he then said to become a tray you must bash A J referring to bgf's nickname the texts were directed to four prospective members Darren Hickman also known as chisel Marcus Williams also known as gangster C Keith Pinson also known as Gotti and Alvin Johnson also known as jug so on May 18 2016 the men began roaming around West Baltimore looking for the two bgf members on the night of May 18th Gotti texts the group chat that he spotted Albert Pitman at the basketball courts in Lexington terries the courts happened to be located in the middle of the projects and Gotti claimed that he didn't know how to get in so true then questioned why he didn't quote Blast from the outside Gotti responded by saying that he didn't want to endanger anyone who wasn't involved even though this was a thoughtful and reasonable answer true was upset and felt like a Trey members shouldn't care so then he responded to the group by saying I don't care who's bgf or not I'm rocking anything I see he expected this careless and Reckless attitude to rub off on the other members but instead they stuck to their morals but as instructed they spun around the bgf area for over a month but no moves were ever made and that takes us to June 23 2016. it's a Thursday night in West Baltimore in chisel gangster see get in their car they then head to Lexington Terrace where they spot Albert Pittman and Shaheen Brown outside so that's when all of the ahre members hop out thankfully they hit nothing but plywood and everyone was okay after hearing the news G True expressed his frustrations in the group chat he simply could not believe that they couldn't get the job done so he decided to give them another month of trying but they never came through so finally in mid-july true texted the group chat that he would go do it himself July 18 2016 through an acquaintance Drew gets Albert Pittman's location all the way in East Baltimore the area is controlled by another eight tray section nicknamed The Nutty North Side so at 8 30 PM by himself true drives out to the location he waits in front of the apartment for 15 minutes until Albert walks outside and that's when he makes his move directly after this true drives home and texts the group chat two simple words check me this was of course the first a tray incident in true hope that it would set the trend for the rest of the members but after a couple months passed and nothing had happened he began getting frustrated on October 1st 2016 true contacted his fellow eight tray leaders in other states he asked them what to do about inactive members who won't follow directions the leaders told him to weed out members who didn't follow directions and to only keep those who followed his orders the only problem was that true had no one who was coming through for him so that would mean he had to get rid of everyone so instead he had to keep to himself about his frustrations and just wait patiently nothing would happen for four months and true would go out and do it for himself once again November 11 2016 by himself true drives to the Lexington Terrace and spins around the block and this time in front of the Food Mart he spots Shaheen Brown so that's when he Parks his car and hops out true had now taken out two very important bgf members and this meant that they were looking for Revenge all of the eight tray members knew this so they decided to lay low and that even includes true if you can believe that so for three and a half months they all relaxed but then in early 2017 bad news would come for a tray on February 25th 2017 true would get a call from a fellow member that age raised David Jackson had been rushed to the hospital he heard that David had been hit in the leg so he rushes over to the hospital to see if he's okay after arriving true learned that it was actually David's doing on accident and this made him roll his eyes of course he was relieved that bgf hadn't done this but on the same token he was embarrassed that his Squad was an absolute mess over the coming months true would really contemplate what he needed to do as a leader part of this process was long talks with the New York and La leaders he even began writing a book about a tray in all of their history well after this period true would back into the group chat his simple message was that if anyone wants to continue being a member they must quote swing the hammer this message caused a stir in the group chat with members pointing fingers left and right each member began giving excuses on why they haven't been active while true did not want to hear it so instead he went out to recruit some new members he quickly found a wild man that reminded him of himself this would be a man named Deontay emins also known as tip Deonte had no fear of anyone and he probably had a couple screws loose as well all of this making him what true believed was the perfect eight tray member after becoming an official member Tay was placed on true's childhood Corner specifically Deontay and Maurice Mitch Finney posted up at the Seneca gas station on North Hilton this is where they hustled and held down the block for G true well with deontay's wild temper it was only a matter of time before things went left and that takes us to July 14 2017. it's a regular Friday evening in West Baltimore and Tay and Mitch are hanging out at the Seneca gas station at 8 pm they notice something strange a couple of men posted up on the other side of the street so together Tay and Mitch walk across the street to confront the men they asked them who they are and what they claim the men tell them that they represent the Abington crew a subset of bgf their territory is located across the street from a tray so it only makes sense for them to post up there regardless Deonte gets angry and tells the men to leave the area one of the men named Christopher Hockaday refuses and stands his ground Deontay gets extremely frustrated and lets his emotions get the best of him the Abington boys were not happy to say the least as Deontay had no reason to take it this far after all the territory belonged to both sides as it was the middle ground between both of their neighborhoods while the Abington boys would not take long to get their Revenge what if I told you that the Abington boys had a member just as wild as G true and Deonte well his name is Cortez Weaver also known as tez and he was gonna make sure to get his revenge July 17 2017 tez walks across the street to the Sunoco gas station looking for a tray members there he spots Maurice Mitch Finney hanging out outside so he walks up and without hesitation this was a Trey's first official loss and it happened to be one of their only active members as you would expect jitru was devastated and of course Furious as well Mitch was one of his close childhood friends so this one cut really deep and even though his side instigated this he still felt like he was the victim so the next day he sent paragraphs to the group chat ranting about what they need to do he vowed to claim three bgf lives and he needed his members to step up all of the members talked a good game in the group chat but nothing would happen for the next month on the morning of August 12th jeetrew would make an Instagram post vowing to get revenge for his best friend Midge and later that day he would unfortunately come through with his promise at 10 pm G True calls up gaudy and asks him to bring him his car he then removes the license plates hops in the car and drives over to the Abington territory in front of the Abington liquor store he spots a very important man this would be a member named Theron McClary a man and whose rap sheet is longer than a giraffe's neck so jitru hops out solo once again [Music] this was a major deal in Baltimore as Baron was an Infamous man on the west side and with this major move gee true hoped that this would Inspire other HRA members however 11 months would go by and nothing would take place and here we are once again G True thinking he needs to do it all himself July 6 2018. it's a Friday night in West Baltimore in the Abington boys are outside of their local market playing dice the reason they're comfortably outside is because it had been 11 months since anything had happened and I only say that because in Baltimore that's forever well little do they know true is having one of those days where he wants to make a statement so at 10 pm true leaves his house and heads down to the Abington area he then observes the dice game and decides to make a terrible move actually use the used gear that he did with the 2017 Thomas McClary incident ultimately this is how police tie the two incidents together but wait we're not quite there yet well single-handedly true had gotten the back West a trade to be one of the most feared sections in the city this is despite many of his members never popping out and unfortunately for him this trend would continue into 2019. enough was finally enough and shrew decided to call an a-tray leader named Paco diamonds all the way in La over the phone he asked the man for advice on what to do about inactive members and that's when true learned about the infamous DP true was inspired and wanted to DP a member named Ronnie Finney also known as Finn Finn happened to be one of Mitch's closest friends so after he passed he vowed to get revenge of course this never occurred and g-true wanted to punish him so after his phone call with the LA leader true informed Finn that he would undergo a DP Finn refused to oblige so then true called over another member to help him out this would be a member named Wrigley Shipley also known as crazy well after calling him over Wrigley decided not to participate in fact all of the ahre members thought this was a ridiculous idea and wouldn't help out this is when true knew that nothing would come of a Trey and that he couldn't be like the leaders in LA or New York by the spring of 2019 he had given up his dreams and decided to let the members do whatever they wanted for most members this meant sitting back and chilling but for one member it was the complete opposite this of course would be Deontay emins and while the other members were sitting in the house chilling he was outside as wild as ever and that takes us to March 4th 2019. it's a Monday night on the H Ray Side of Hilton Avenue it's a slow day so Deonte decides to leave the Seneca gas station to go post up on another Corner as he makes his way down he notices an unfamiliar face on Saint Joseph so Deonte gets curious and approaches the man he questions where the man is from and what he represents Deontay then learns that the man has affiliate nations with pgf that's when the two get into an argument and sadly Deontay takes it to the next level [Music] foreign then fled the scene on foot and was able to get away but then the next day an age remember named smuppy would send a picture of Tywin Smith to the group chat with the question mark true when Deontay would both respond confirming it was them and to make things worse later that day they would both take it to social media Deontay would make an Instagram post pretty much bragging about what he had just done and sure would leave a comment that said no attempts meaning that tay always gets the job done at this point Deontay and true felt Untouchable kind of like they were evil twins but as the two distinguished themselves from a Trey one member would decide to step up this would be Wrigley Shipley also known as crazy and this guy would surprise true with the text in May of 2019 but first let me set the context as I stated in the beginning five different a tray sections formed in Baltimore one of which being nutty north side at the beginning the back West and nutty North Side were allies put in typical Baltimore fashion they began beefing over Terror after the incident of Albert Pittman G True wanted to take over the area of East Baltimore coincidentally The Nutty North Side wanted the area as well given that it's closer to their home turf somehow the simple matter transitioned into a full-on a tray versus a tray beef and in May of 2019 Wrigley Shipley would volunteer to make a statement May 25th 2019. crazy text true and asks him to go on a mission with him against the Nutty north side of course true is ecstatic as no one has ever volunteered like this before so he instantly agrees and picks him up at 9pm they drive to East Baltimore looking for any nutty North Side members and that's when they spot a member named Daryl Fordham on the 500 block of force Road and that's when crazy hops out this incident shook up everything in Baltimore as all of the a tray sets turned against G True in his Squad everyone knew that they were wild and never to be trusted again on top of this all of the bgf members despise them as well so as you would expect a tray would pay the cost in a major way or maybe not let me explain in July of 2019 true became very upset at Deonte for telling his girl about everything that they had done he saw this as a form of snitching and he wanted nothing to do with Deonte he even instructed the other members to stop talking to him and to take his blower away so that's exactly what they did leaving Deonte without protection or a squad to hang around sadly Deonte would not last long in the streets of Baltimore on May 23 2020 Deonte was found outside of Collins Market in the heart of bgf territory to this day no one knows who did this whether it was G True or the bgf side regardless this is a lesson that proves that no matter how many stripes you have this life will lead to absolutely nothing friends who you risked your life for will turn their back on you after the smallest mistake and the interesting part of this whole situation is that true's concerns about Deontay running his mouth should have been his last concerns instead his own group chat that had every little thing they had done since 2016 probably should have been his concern on top of this after Baltimore Police ran across true social media they were able to get a warrant to look through his phone and after finding the group chat they discovered every little thing they had done since 2015. there was no need for informants or any other proof this was a easy case closed and this is ultimately how the back West a tray was taken down on October 7th 2020 10 members were indicted on all sorts of charges due to true's group chat members who actually didn't do anything were now facing conspiracy charges for Tech sent to the group life was pretty much over for anyone involved with the back West a tray but then wild news would come in September of 2021. Trayvon Hall was released from jail and sent back home to Baltimore all while his entire crew were still facing life in prison holy moly the irony is that while all of the inactive members were going to prison the man who actually did everything was sitting at home everyone was confused on why this happened and a lot of people thought that he snaged that was until the U.S Marshals had realized that they had released the wrong person so just three weeks after his release Trayvon Hall was sent back to jail on September 22nd that must have been the wildest roller coaster of emotions I can't even imagine well in 2022 Trayvon Hall was sentenced to 37 years for all of his crimes Wrigley Shipley also known as crazy received 15 years then Marcus Williams also known as gangster C received seven and a half years the other members are either still facing trial or their sentences haven't been published this is yet another example of why Baltimore is the second most dangerous city in the country and sadly it hasn't gotten better in fact it's homicide rate in 2022 was over 10 times higher than the city of La you can probably pin this to the high levels of poverty but also to the complete dysfunction in all of my Baltimore stories it seems like the incidents are really never that deep and because of that it seems like a city that's nearly impossible to maneuver while that was another crazy Baltimore story and I hope you guys enjoyed it if you did make sure to leave a like And subscribe if you're new also hit me up on Instagram and let me know what you want to see next [Music]
