Born to Kill is the name of a gang of Vietnamese youth formerly based in New York City. The name is believed to have been taken from the Stanley Kubrick movie Full Metal Jacket. Though Born to Kill was once considered the most vicious Vietnamese gang in North America, it is today believed to exist only in smaller factions nationwide. Its members were involved in many crimes, the majority being home and jewelry store robberies whose victims were other Asian Americans.

Eventually the BTK gang spread to other east coast states. Baltimore, Boston, Virginia, and North Carolina gained members in their area. It spread to not only Asians but also to African Americans, Whites, Hispanics, ETC. Soon North Carolina's public schools in Chowan County gained over 200 members. BTK had been brought there by a member of BTK from Virginia. You can spot them by looking for a black or white bandana hanging from their back pocket or around their neck/face.
