History

Formation

According to one source, the Rollin's 90 Cripss branched off from the Rollin's 60 Crips, retaining the "Rollin' Crips" name. [3]

Another source indicates that the Rollin's 90 Cripss formed independently from the Rollin' 60 Cripss, but later formed an alliance at a 1983 party, where some members of the Rollin's 60 Cripss noted that the names of both gangs ended with "0". [4] As a result, the two gangs decided to unite, and this alliance has since spread to other gangs, including the Rollin' 40s Crips. [4]

Rivalry with the Eight Tray Gangster Crips

In 1979, a rivalry developed between the Rollin's 60s Cripss and Eight Tray Gangster Crips. The rivalry developed after a fight occurred between a member of the Rollin's 60 Cripss and the Eight Tray Gangster Crips over a girl. [5] As a result of this rivalry, many gangs had to side with either the Rollin's 60 Cripss or the Eight Tray Gangster Crips. [5] The Rollin' 90s Neighborhood Crips became allies with the Rollin's 60 Crips. [1]

Expanding to Nashville

By the mid-1990s, the Rollin's 90 Crips had expanded to Nashville, Tennessee. [2] This Nashville set was founded by Jamal Shakir and would become known as the East Nashville Crips. [6] This set would engage in drug trafficking, and Shakir, along with two other men, would be charged for the murders of seven people. [7]

Murder of Justin Holmes

In 2017, three members of the Rollin's 90 Cripss were arrested for the murder of 21-year-old Justin Holmes, who was wrongly identified as a member of the Eight Trey Gangster Crips. The case received national attention, as one of the defendants, Cameron Terrell, was white and came from an affluent background. [8]

Expanding to Canada

Around 2016–17, a new set of the Rollin's 90 Cripss formed in the west side area of Montreal, Canada. The gang is alleged to be one of the most powerful and violent gangs in the city since 2023 and is known for assassinations, home invasions, drug and gun trafficking, and credit card fraud. [9]
