A Crip-affiliated street crew from Detroit’s far northwest side, mainly active in the Five Points neighborhood (ZIP 48219). Originated around the 19200–19500 blocks of Lenore and Woodbine near West Seven Mile, with early roots in the Country House Apartments at 7 Mile & Woodbine.
Their territory runs roughly from Five Points Street (west) to Telegraph (east), and Eight Mile (north) down to Grand River (south). By late 2023, they’d expanded across most of Five Points. Though they claim Crip ties, they move more like a close-knit neighborhood crew than a structured gang.
“The Hyena Crips (H-Gang) been a diamond in the dirt — anybody underestimating them would have to be crazy.”—Detroiter
A Shackteau is a humble, weather-beaten, structurally questionable shelter located in a spectacular or highly coveted place—Wales, Jackson Hole, Sun Valley, Crested Butte, coastal Maine, the Alps—where the building itself may be worth almost nothing, but the dirt, view, access, and mythology make it absurdly valuable.

Shackteâu - We thought it was an abandoned shed until the realtor called it a rare alpine Shackteâu with unobstructed views and listed it for $2million.
