The only unclaimed territory was the area west of Long Beach Boulevard, which is where the South Side Compton Crips formed.

[1] In 1996, a group of South Side Compton Crips led by Orlando Anderson attacked Trevon Lane, a Mob Piru Blood, at Lakewood Mall.

[2] During the altercation, Anderson allegedly stole Lane's gold Death Row Records chain, which was a gift from Suge Knight.

[3] On September 7, 1996, Tupac Shakur, Suge Knight and several associates of Death Row Records, including Lane, went to Las Vegas to attend the Bruce Seldon vs. Mike Tyson boxing match.

Orlando Anderson was arrested and questioned by Compton police on October 2, but was released due to a lack of substantive evidence linking him to the murder.

In 2009, a police investigation led by detective Greg Kading established that the occupants of the white Cadillac were members of the South Side Crips and that the shooter was Orlando Anderson.
