  • The Spanish Gangster Disciples were formed on the South Side of Chicago in the early 1980s. Membership is predominantly Hispanic males, but does consist of some White and Black males. The development of the Spanish Gangster Disciples attempted to unify all of the “Latino Folks” organizations while also being involved in political and social undertaking. The SGD’s concept was originated in 1974 on the Southside of Chicago. The SGD’s were founded by Rudy Rios, who was possibly a former member of the Latin Scorpions (Maniac Latin Disciples). While incarcerated years earlier Rios was part of a governing body called the “Spanish Growth and Development”, which was initiated in the correctional facilities as a way to unite the Latino Folks gangs. Once Rios was released he was given the “blessing” from the Black Gangster Disciples to change the name to the Spanish Gangster Disciples. The Southside SGD’s were known for their violent acts on rival gangs and on the police.
