The '''Southside Hoods''', including subdivisions '''Purple Nines''' and '''Red Jacks''', are a set of prominent African-American gangs in [[Shoreside Vale]], [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]]. In [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]], set in [[1998]], they are assisted by the [[Leone Family]] in [[Rough Justice|taking]] [[Wichita Gardens]] as their turf and driving out the [[Forelli Family]]. At this point in time, all three gangs were allied and acted as a single gang. | The '''Southside Hoods''', including subdivisions '''Purple Nines''' and '''Red Jacks''', are a set of prominent African-American gangs in [[Shoreside Vale]], [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]].

By the time [[Grand Theft Auto III]] takes place in [[2001]], the Purple Nines begin selling [[SPANK]] on local streets.

The Redjacks, particularly their leader [[D-Ice]], is against the drug and starts set a civil war in the Hoods gang against the Purple Nines. Eventually the Purple Nines become defunct, after the Redjacks and [[Claude]] defeat them in a [[Rumble|mêlée battle]]. | ||
Curiously, the Redjacks and Purple Nines do not attack each other on the streets, and will even assist each other if one is wounded or in battle. This is presumably a glitch in the game, pertaining to all gang member characters being modeled after Southside Hoods. To cover up the error in the plot, D-Ice warns Claude that if he shoots at Nines, some Redjacks would assume they were under fire and shoot at him as well. | Curiously, the Redjacks and Purple Nines do not attack each other on the streets, and will even assist each other if one is wounded or in battle.
