Aztec Souls Gang History
The inception of the Aztec Souls traces back to 1998 in Chicago, Illinois, with roots in a party crew called The Players Crew (TPc’s). Initially established in Calumet City, they later moved to the southeast side, engaging in a notorious conflict with the Lynch Mobs on the 104th Avenue block—now known as their base. This rivalry pushed the Lynch Mobs to align with the Spanish Vice Lords (SVLs), escalating tensions. The situation intensified following the death of an Aztec Soul member known as Kike, leading to severe clashes with the SVLs. Over time, members transitioned to the Latin Kings, earning the title of Future Latin Kings. However, internal disputes sparked minor wars, causing some members to join the Latin Dragons. By 2003, Aztec Souls expanded to areas like Hegwish, Hammond in Indiana, and Calumet City. Their list of adversaries includes gangs such as the King Cobras, Spanish Gangster Disciples, Ambrose, Latin Counts, and others. Despite occasional skirmishes, the Aztec Souls maintain a significant alliance with the Latin Kings on Chicago's South East Side.
