It’s weird to call “Surenos†a gang. A bunch of gangs that fall under the Sureno umbrella in jail and prison, yes. In prison I suppose you can consider them an organization. In the streets, they’re not a gang.
I would like more input from you on the Surenos banner as well. It seems like most of the members of those barrios that branch out to other cities just carries that banner. In my state I came across a few tags by them in Hattiesburg. It simply displayed ' Sur 13 ' with the 3 dots. Hispanic community in Hattiesburg is around 1.3K but nothing significant from Sur 13 activities. In Memphis they're the largest or one of the largest hispanic gang in the city yet mainly you see their taggings. Banging wise it's little of that. Nashville is a bit similar and Atlanta have higher activity. Generally it's not a specific L.A barrio being claim just the banner.
