Rivals

The three sides of Wilmas were in an alliance, until 1986 when the 3 sides got engaged in a rivalry after a confutation over a female, it would leave several Latinos dead. They have feuds with major San Pedro gangs Dodge City Crips and Rancho San Pedro gang. However their rivalry would take a backseat when Dodge City and Rancho San Pedro's rivalry got more intense in 1996.[2]
