History
The Black Bandits gang was formed by the TG gang after the originator of the gang was murdered in a drive-by shooting by rivals. The gang was formed with the intent to be a more powerful force and to retaliate the murder and lessen the influence of Crips and Bloods in Trowd City. The gang's leaders often recruited whom they perceived the strongest and bravest who were willing to kill. By 2010, there were over 10,000+ members of the organisation.

In order to assert their power, the Black Bandits grew increasingly violent. The gang would often heavily arm themselves and set out to murder in rival neighborhoods. In 2011, the Black Bandits were responsible for over 1,500+ homicides in Trowd City. The influence of Crips and Bloods throughout Trowd City significantly dropped because of this. Neighborhoods such as West Falmouth and Peyton Park were prime targets during the frequent mass shootings. Due to the mass amount of shootings, the 11th precinct was converted into a TERU unit by the Trowd City Police Department.

Identification
Black Bandits members identify themselves through various gang indicators such as colors, clothing, symbols, tattoos, jewelry, graffiti, language, and hand signs. The Black Bandits gang color is black. They often wear all black outfits accompanied by black ski masks.
