Larry Hoover formed the Gangster Disciples street gang in Chicago in the late 1960s. The GDs, which was formed on the South Side of Chicago, can now be found active nationwide in many major metropolitan cities.

Hoover engaged petty crime as an adolescent, but soon dabbled in major illegal activities, as he got older during the growth of his criminal empire.
