The 118 East Coast Crip Who Survived The Streets And Became GTA V’s Franklin On the afternoon of January 15, 1997, a Metro bus rolled through Watts carrying students headed home from school. Among them was seventeen-year-old Corie Williams. A few stops later, several members of the 118 East Coast Crips climbed aboard, looking for rivals tied to an ongoing gang feud. Within moments, gunfire ripped through the crowded bus as passengers dropped to the floor and scrambled for cover. When the shooting stopped, Corie Williams lay mortally wounded. Detectives would later trace the attack back to members of one of Watts' most feared Crip sets, turning the case into one of the neighborhood's most notorious gang crimes.
