Toledo’s gang
boundaries are fluid —
what is claimed as
territory one day might
not be the next. And
just because a gang
claims a territory
doesn’t mean gangs
live there — it just
means no other gang
is allowed to operate
there.

A large swath of
South Toledo, in red
on the map at the
bottom of the page,
fits that description.
The area includes
some of the nicest
homes in the city
along River Road, but
drug sales in the area
are controlled by the
Southside Folk gang.
After Toledo Police Chief Derrick Diggs and Mayor Mike Bell refused to make the city’s
gang map public last year, The Blade decided in early 2013 to create its own gang
map. Using information from interviews with current and former gang members in
Toledo and police sources, the newspaper in April published a detailed map of the city
listing more than 40 known gangs, and the territories they operate in, compared with
the 18 gangs listed on the city police department’s gang map.

Gangs at a glance: Most of Toledo's gangs claim to be part of a “nation” – either the Bloods, Crips, or Folk.
Manor Boyz
Nation: Bloods. Based
out of the Moody Manor
low-income apartment
complex. The gang has
numerous subsets
including the Gotti Girls,
Gotti Boys, and Young
Savage. Members claim
to be rivals with everyone, but the Cherry
Woodz, from the nearby
Greenbelt Place Apartments, are a central foe.
Lil Heads
Nation: Bloods. The
gang, which claims to be
a family, has a citywide
reputation for violence.
Members were charged
in August with participat65
ing in a criminal gang, but
police said the charges,
which have all been
dismissed, have done
little to quiet gang activity
in the area.
Lucas County
Gangsters
Nation: None. The gang
had a long-standing feud
with the Out Hill Boys,
PERRYSBURG
which ended about two
years ago. Members say
the gang doesn’t identify
with colors, but they wear
Adidas-brand clothing.
XBlocc
Nation: Crips. Named for
Derrick Turner, whose
street name was X
Boone. Turner was shot
to death April 17, 1998, at
Detroit and Highland
avenues. Subsets include
the Charge Boys and
Charge Girls. Charge,
which has about 50
members, was first
known as Young N***** In
Charge.
Recc Squad
Nation: Folk. The gang,
which is also called
N.A.R., Nolia Ave Recc,
was based at the Brand
Whitlock Homes until the
public-housing complex
was razed in 2012. The
gang is now more spread
out as residents from the
complex moved around
the county. The gang was
founded by former Libbey
High School students.
Bagdad Boys
Nation: Bloods. Police
sources say the gang
started with intentions to
rob carryout stores to
earn cash and create
music. In one robbery at
Page and Mulberry
streets, the gang’s leader,
Lamar Allen, was killed
by a clerk; another,
Joseph Hunter, was
convicted of numerous
felonies.
