Bounty Hunter Bloods (BHB)
The Bounty Hunter Bloods (BHB), also known as the Eastside Bounty Hunters are a large and notorious African-American street gang operating out of the Nickerson Gardens Housing Projects in Watts, Los Angeles,California. Since their rise in the late 1970s, the Bounty Hunters have grown into one of the most recognized and respected Blood sets in Los Angeles, with a reputation built on loyalty, violence, and survival in the projects.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Origins and Neighborhood
The Bounty Hunters were founded in the Nickerson Gardens Housing Projects, one of the largest public housing complexes in Los Angeles,California. Built in the 1950s,Nickerson Gardens was originally home to working-class Black families but quickly fell into overty, neglect, and heavy gang influence by the 1970s.
During this period, the Crip movement spread across South Central and Watts, pressing smaller cliques and neighborhoods into conflicts. Local youth from Nickerson Gardens organized for protection and soon adopted the ''Bounty Hunter'' identity a name symbolizing their relentless nature and refusal to back down from rivals.
By the early 1980s, the Bounty Hunter Bloods were fully aligned with the Blood Alliance, standing in opposition to surrounding Crip sets. Their presence stretched across the entirety of Nickerson Gardens, giving them deep roots in the Eastside of Watts.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Conflict and Rivalries
The Bounty Hunter Bloods ’ fiercest and longest-running rivalry is with the Grape Street Watts Crips, based out of the nearby Jordan Downs Projects. This feud has resulted in decades of shootings, murders, and retaliations, making it one of the deadliest conflicts in Los Angeles gang history.
Other rivals include:
- PJ Watts Crips , located in the Imperial Courts Projects.
- Various South Central Crip sets, including Neighborhood Crips and Hoovers.
Despite internal disputes at times, the BHB maintain strong ties with other Blood/Piru factions across Los Angeles, especially during wars against Crip gangs.

Law Enforcement Crackdowns
By the mid-1980s, law enforcement had labeled the Bounty Hunters as one of the most violent gangs in Los Angeles. Crackdowns increased heavily during the crack epidemic, with police raids, curfews, and gang injunctions focusing on Nickerson Gardens.
During the 1992 Los Angeles riots, Bounty Hunter members were seen looting, clashing with rivals, and going head-to-head with police. The aftermath only intensified police sweeps in Watts, with Nickerson Gardens becoming one of the most patrolled housing projects in the city.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Criminal Operations
The Bounty Hunter Bloods are known for funding their operations through a mix of hustling and violence. Their activities have included:
- Drug trafficking (primarily crack cocaine in the 80s–90s, expanding to other narcotics).
- Firearms sales and the illegal gun trade.
- Robbery and extortion of rivals and local businesses.
- Pimping, auto theft, and burglaries.
- Graffiti and vandalism, with “BHB” and “Hunters” tags covering walls across Watts.
The set thrives off loyalty, intimidation, and money. Betrayal is rare but deadly when it happens.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Territory and Culture
The BHB claim the entire Nickerson Gardens Projects in Eastside Watts as their territory. Their presence is marked by murals, graffiti, and the red rag, with members often seen repping sports gear in red (such as Washington Nationals or Cincinnati Reds caps).
Nickerson Gardens is not just their base it is their identity. Growing up in the projects means being surrounded by Bounty Hunter influence, where loyalty to the hood is tested daily.
