EMF -- a history of the El Monte Flores

| | Comments (53) |
Ben Baeder compiled a brief look at El Monte Flores, a gang comprised of 400 members that has its origins in an neighborhood near a nursery.

Richard Rodriguez, who was kicked in the head by an El Monte police officer Wednesday after a high-speed pursuit is a member of the gang, officials said.

Gang experts said the gang has close ties to La Eme, the Mexican Mafia and was linked to the Maxon Road Massacre:

A member of the gang, Luis Maciel, orchestrated the murder of an El Monte family on Maxson Street in 1995, Valdemar said.
Gunmen recruited by Maciel killed five people, including a baby and 5-year-old girl. The murders were in retaliation for Anthony Moreno leaving the Mexican Mafia. Moreno was killed in the attack.
Maciel was sentenced to death.
"They're everywhere and they're in the Mexican Mafia," Valdemar said.

The story I heard was that the gang's name originated from the first members who had the last name Flores which made up most of the members at the time. That was told to me by an O.G. member turned principle at the continuation school in El Monte. Which story is right?

Durrrr said:

thank you for stating the obvious. a mexican gang is affiliated with the mexican mafia.

whats next? are you going to tell us that Water is Wet and that the Sun is hot.

Do any of these termites die of old age or just O.D.s and drive-bys?

former gang member said:

You know, gang bang lowlives live for the moment they could get themselves and their "hood" in the media.


Great job geniuses, doing better recruiting than the army.

oh really?? said:

No sheett??? They live for this and whenever there is an enemy present they have to attack! I know this from personal experience being invovled in that gang as a youngster... but... they are very unorganized right now and need some order in that gang!!!

Lawman said:

Dealt with these pussies many times, all talk until you lock them down. From past experience chasing some of these idiots I'm not surprised how this roach was driving.

el monte reeident said:

So, let me get this straight, your just fighting and basically bickering and bitching on this? Rather than getting straight to the point about the actual gang violence in the city?

Long Time El Monte Resident said:

Close your eyes. Imagine the man involved in the high speed chase was White. Do you still think he deserved to be treated the way he was. NO. I met this young man and he is a very respectful person. Don't judge a book by it's cover.

Instead of worrying about the whens, whys and hows... worry about what to do to make our neighborhoods safer, not just from gangs, but also from corrupt police officers.

My husband is from Varrio EMF and although he's in prison right now my husband is one of the most righteous ass person I've met. All his homeboys whether they are locked up or on the calles they stay true to their homeboy and they look out for me. Varrio EMF to the fullest. F's up that's what my man would say, and like I said I stand by my man. FREE LIL DILLINGER, LIL CATRIN, MIGHTY, BABY CRYSTAL, BIG COUGAR, and any other homies I might have forgotten.

knowledge said:

whats the point of gangs anyways, i hear and i see gangs killing each other everyday claiming their hood or the street of what they belong from.. perhaps they are good people and hard workers but why throw their life away, common seriously lets say i was from a gang name "furious" here in southern cali and my rivals where a gang called "extremo". i find it so ridicolous and so childish and oviously dont have a brain for me to think with it cause if i kill one of the extremos members i get life in prison for this and protect the rest of them in prison in the name of southside, common who honeslty would be that brain dead you want to protect do it for your mom or dad or kids, true family not the ones who claim to be your homeboys which they never even get you a lawyer when your in a mess due to protecting a street....you want to make a big name for your gang go against southside first then the northside other than that you all are puppets and not only for the gang but for the state...a least cops are smart about what gang they join..

mizz troubles said:

will if you have something t say than go ahead and say it because all of my family is either with a gang member from Flores or are in it so keep talking sit cause you will get hurt and that's the truth

knowledge said:

stanger said:

i was born and raised in monte. not a member. but truth is most of these guys are cool guys.so dont be so quick to judge.and flores got its name way back in the 30s. mexican workers were brought from mexico to work in the fields. they stayed in camps. one was called las flores and the other was hicks camp.
