Culver City Boys or Culver City 13 (CCB13) is a Mexican-American street gang from Mar Vista, California.
According to a ''
Los Angeles City Beat'' article, by 2003, many Culver City Boys left the Mar Vista Housing housing projects due to strict rules that evict gang members and increased police presence. The gang is under a civil injunction enforced by the
LAPD

which restricts gang members' activity within a defined boundary surrounding the projects. However, the gang remains active, as the constitutionality of the injunction has been tested. Alleged members of the gang settled a class action suit over the practice of enforcing curfews for suspected gang members with the City of Los Angeles for $30 million dollars towards job training and apprenticeships.
Despite the Culver City Boys being a
Sureño gang, their
colors are red and black, colors mainly associated with the
Norteños and
Pirus. CCB13 shows no affiliation to either Norteño or
Bloods alliances.
