They’re from San Martin, a district east of the capital that’s home to a turf war between the Mara Salvatrucha and 18th Street gangs.

Interesting that the 18th Street gang operates in San Martin, El Salvador, which is a long way from 18th Street--which I use to get to the Santa Monica Freeway when I'm driving north on Figueroa St.

I remember a story on 18st from about 20 years ago. They were the largest gang in LA. Guess they have franchised and gone international.
