Raymond Washington (1953–1979) co-founded the Crips in Los Angeles in 1969 alongside Stanley 'Tookie' Williams, creating what would become one of the most notorious street gangs in American history. The Crips grew from a small South LA gang into a nationwide criminal organization with tens of thousands of members. Washington himself was shot dead in 1979 before his gang reached its peak notoriety.
