It used to be a group of wanna be mexicans. But one got in trouble and then the whole organization stabbed each other in the back i.e. snitched each other out and bringing the whole structure down.Never to rise or be trusted by any respectable gang member again.If you had a latin gang tatoo you were marked as a punk and a target to be slaped when in public. Many Latin kings readily accepted being BITCH slapped by PUNKS in jail and prison, street etc. Any of the remaining Latin KIngs have had there tatoos covered or removed. To save there own lives.

The Latin Kings are the oldest and largest hispanic street gang, commencing in the 1940’s in their “Motherland," Chicago, Illinois. The gang’s founders were Puerto Rican immigrants, whose unification movement actually originated as a Hispanic prisoners’ rights group in the Chicago area which eventually spread throughout United States prisons. The gang’s main objective developed into a unified force that protected the gang’s neighborhood or “turf.” Their battles with rival gangs ultimately led the Latin Kings to develop a reputation as a violent street gang. Latin King documents reveal that Gino Gustavo Colon (a.k.a. "Lord Gino") is considered the "SUN" of the Almighty Latin King Nation in Chicago and has been for a long time. Currently he is serving a life sentence in federal prison due to a 25-count indictment, which includes charges of conspiracy to distribute cocaine and other drugs. Latin King headquarters is located on Beach and Spaulding in Northwest Chicago. Luis Felipe (a.k.a. King Blood) started his own chapter of the Almighty Latin King and Queen Nation with the permission of his superiors in Chicago. He designated himself as Inca and Supreme Crown of New York State. In 1995 Antonio Fernandez (a.k.a. King Tone) was designated Inca and Supreme Crown of New York State and New Jersey, and the ALKQN once again began a transformation.

The largest Latino gang in Chicago, and perhaps in the United States, are the Latin King and Queen Nation. Latin Kings have chapters all across the US. The colors associated with the Lating Kings are Gold or Yellow and Black. Latin Kings use 5-point crowns as a symbol. The 5 points stand for love, respect, sacrifice, honor, and obedience.

A political organization now, but when it started it became more of a gang, then things started changing after what happen to KingBlood, and KingTone set a new message that "every King and Queen should have a education or knowledge to prove the latin community can do good." thats the true meaning of a king.

All fello kings should respect there hermanitos y hermanitas.You are only a true king or queen when u give it all.Always take care of ur people.Once a King always a King.Stay true for life.

one who provides respect and dignity for himself and herself and brings love and compasion for his loved onein the nation

The biggest hispanic street gang in america but can also be found in many other countries across the world, latin kings are extremely violent and communicate in spanish or english, latin kings recruit spanish, pueto rican, potugeuse and italian people mostly, the gang consists of mainly male members but there are latin queens aswell. latin kings are known for violent atacks and murders on rival gangs and drug trafficing and dealing.

Labeled as a gang by the police,the Latin Kings are truly a nation of Latin brothers growing and learning. Some individuals in the ALKQN treat it as a gang but they are not true kings. A true king carries himself by following the 5 points of his crown being either love, honor,obedience,sacrifice, and righteousness or respect, honesty,unity, knowledge, and loyalty.
