The Bloods and subsets of the Bloods were definitely talked about the most a few years ago. The BGF seems to have almost come out of nowhere, popping up for the first time around 2009 as a prison-gang trying to reach out into the streets, and now they seem to be connected to almost every high-profile case. While the commissioner repeatedly says the gang is tied to much of the violence (one estimate was 90 percent), we have not seen that in terms of charging documents and closed cases. Police said only 29 of the 235 victims were gang members in 2013.
