The Bounty Hunter Bloods aka East Side Bounty Hunter Blood Gang is a Bloods set that started in 1969 in the Watts section of Los Angeles. Originally known as the Green Jackets, it is believed that Gary Barker was very influential during the Bounty Hunters' beginnings. Bobby Jack was also one of the founding members. The Bell Haven Bounty Hunters formed around 1978 to the west of Central Avenue.
Around 1981, Renee McGowen began the lot Bounty Hunters. Over time have formed the following subsets; Lot Boys, Block Boys, Bell Haven. Their main area, which is in the Nickerson Gardens housing project is 108th Street (north) to Imperial (south) between Wilmington (east) on Avalon blvd (west).
Covering an area of 6.54 square kilometers of territory, the Bounty Hunter Bloods are one of the larger Black gangs in Watts.
