Grove Street Families (GSF) is an African-American street gang native to Los Santos. Members are often clad in green clothes and can usually be found in poorer areas of Los Santos, but have small pockets of territory in other parts of the city. Coming from old traditions the GSF are proud and stubborn, refusing to adapt to changes in the criminal underworld and sell hard drugs, though this attitude had lead them to weaken in power in the late 90's.
After Sweet Johnson's release from prison and CJ Johnson's return to Los Santos, Grove Street managed to reform itself and finally enter the drug trade while pushing back against the rival Ballas gang. Soon enough the gang enjoyed the power and prestige they once held in 1980's.
The GSF were involved in an intense gang war with Ballas, which they eventually won, taking much of their territory. They are also rivals of the Los Santos Vagos and the Varrios Los Aztecas, though relations with the latter softened as the Ledi, sister Sweet Johnson, began to date a high ranking Azteca.

"Okay, I'm sending you out... my best five boys. You guys have a very important task. This egotistical p***k, and his gang... I want them eradicated! I let them live for too long!" Salvatore shouts to his five suits, as they stand and listen to the Don. "Now... fly to Los Santos. They're in Ganton, get rid of them... all of them."

Another GSF member says, as they open a cache of weapons, and then roll out in a couple of 1992 Greenwood sedans, and go patrol the area, listening to Playback FM, which was playing "Express Yourself" by N.W.A.
Meanwhile, "Spoonman" by Soundgarden was playing on the car's default station, Radio X, as the boys of the Leone Mafia are talking amongst themselves. "What is up with the people of the West Coast? There's no culture in their music." "I don't know, the drummer is pretty impressive." says another member in the back, as the passenger next to him says "Shut up, Toni." They drive near a Cluckin' Bell, and see the five gang members getting out of the sedan. "Hey, that looks like the guy." They begin to drive over to the Cluckin' Bell, as the front row passenger pulls out him M16 rifle, and started to fire at the GSF vehicle, and managing to hit a gangster. (5-4)

All the gangsters scatter out, as the Mafia are in pursuit.

The GSF member runs in, and hopped over the register, as the customers inside initally ducked, expecting anotehr gang robbery, as he slid inside the kitchen. Meanwhile the mobster ran in after him. He sneaks in, and says to the cashier... "Where is he?!" In which the cashier nervously points back to the kitchen. When he entered in, tryign to catch him off guard, suddenly, the GSF member catapults skin-boiling fryer grease directly at the mobster's face. The mobster let out a blood curdling scream of agony, until he was hit with brass knuckles directly to the temple. (3-4) He smiles wide with delight, as he started to head out the back door.
Meanwhile, as Toni and another assailant, both with Glock-17 pistols chase a member of the grove, who fired an AK-47 at them both in a sprayign pattern.

He replied, as his boss said to him... "Son, you've done me a great service... call me Sal. You're gonna go far, kid." Sal says, before hanging up the phone, as sirens were ehard in the distance, as Toni started to run off and avoid the LSPD, and get to a hospital before he heads back to Liberty City.

WHile the Grove Street Families were street savvy, they simply did not have the superior technology, or firepower that the Leone Mafia were using. To see the original battle, weapons and votes, click here.
