The Rollin 60's Neighborhood Crips is a street gang based in Los Angeles, California, originally formed in Los Angeles in 1976 from the Westside Crips and have since spread to other cities in the United States.[1] Membership is estimated to be between 6,000 and 8,000 people, making it one of the largest gangs in the Los Angeles area.[2]

Members identify themselves by wearing Seattle Mariners[2] or Chicago White Sox logos and mark areas they are in with graffiti.[1]

According to the Los Angeles Daily News in 2004, Rollin' 60's was "the largest black criminal street gang in the City of Los Angeles with over 1,600 active members – the size of an Army brigade. "[1]

Two men identified as members of the Rollin' 60 were arrested for the 1984 murders of four members of professional football player Kermit Alexander's family. Police say the gang members got the address wrong and killed the wrong family.[3]

Musician, businessman, and community activist Nipsey Hussle was a member of the Rollin 60's Neighborhood Crips.[4]
