At this time, the Grove Street Families began losing power, eventually losing turf to Ballas and the Los Santos Vagos, and they split up to three sets, the original Grove Street Families ruling Ganton, the Seville Boulevard Families having control of [[Playa del Seville]] and the Temple Drive Families mainly establishing themselves in [[Temple]] and [[Santa Maria Beach]]. All the other territories were being controlled by Ballas and Vagos, who were interested in drug trade, instead of the Families, who never sold drugs due to Sweet's ban on narcotics. Eventually, high-ranking [[Grove Street Families]] member [[Big Smoke|Melvin "Big Smoke" Harris]], under duress from Tenpenny and Pulaski, secretly defected to the Ballas out of greed in hopes of heading up a drug trade ring that would fetch him high money and power, and began a deal with suppliers from [[San Fierro]], who were leaders of the [[Loco Syndicate]], the largest drug cartel in San Andreas. Shortly later, he failed to convince Sweet, but was able to add fellow high-ranking Grove Street Families member [[Ryder|Lance "Ryder" Wilson]] to his drug ring alliance, which was also expanded to include the [[Los Santos Vagos]], who had similar interests in drug trade, along with the [[Russian Mafia]], who would provide protection and arms. Through ties with the Loco Syndicate, the serving gang, [[San Fierro Rifa]], was also included in the alliance. | In 1987, Carl's brother Brian died, and Carl, upon being blamed by Sweet for negligence in trying to save Brian, was forced to leave his hometown Los Santos and move to [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]], where he started working as a car thief for [[Joey Leone]].
