The "110ers Gang," is a criminal organization located in New Orleans, Louisiana. They are one of the most violent gangs operating out of the 11th and 10th Wards which is located in the Uptown area. Some of the original members grew up in the old St. Thomas Projects which was torn down in 1998. Multi-Agency Gang (MAG) Unit have been investigating the gang since 2010 and linked the gang to several drug-related murders in the Central city neighborhood. In recent years the gang have been known to feud with the Young Melph Mafia and the Ride or Die Gang from the 8th Ward of New Orleans. The bloodshed between the gangs lasted for years until the gang was under a federal investigation by the FBI.[1][2][3]
