[[Beverly Johnson|Beverly]], their mother, continued to raise her three remaining children (Brian had died in [[1987]]) in Grove Street, until her [[The Introduction#CJ and Sweet|death]] during a drive-by shooting on her house.

Sweet, although no longer living in the Johnson house, continues to live in Grove Street. Kendl now lives in [[El Corona]] with her boyfriend, [[Varrios Los Aztecas]] leader [[Cesar Vialpando]]. [[Ryder]] and [[OG Loc]] also live in Grove Street, and [[Big Smoke]] had lived in Grove Street until moving to [[Idlewood]]. | Sweet, although no longer living in the Johnson house, continues to live in Grove Street.

Sweet is later released (via [[Mike Toreno]]) and Carl returns, and together they re-claim Grove Street and Ganton for the Grove Street Families. Grove Street once again becomes the main stronghold of the Grove Street Families, who use Grove Street as a base for expanding into other districts (such as [[Idlewood]]). Following the [[Riot (GTA SA)|acquittal]] of [[Frank Tenpenny]], Grove Street residents (along with residents of Los Santos) begin [[Los Santos Riots|rioting]]. Carl and Sweet manage to 'lockdown' Grove Street, and bring stability to Ganton. Grove Street serves as the place of death of Tenpenny, who [[End of the Line|dies]] after crashing a [[Fire Truck]] off a bridge and into Grove Street. | Sweet is later released (via [[Mike Toreno]]) and Carl returns, and together they re-claim Grove Street and Ganton for the Grove Street Families.
