On February 28th, members of Chang Gang, including Curtis Swoleroid, Ramee El-Rahman, Ray Mond, Mari Posa and Vinny Pistone planned to rob the City Vault. Initially, they planned to rob the Paleto Bank, but Ramee saw Jean Paul robbing it, and decided not to breach, to keep the two gangs on good terms. This is why the group planned to rob the city vault, which led Ramee to go to the laptop spot in Sandy Shores. Whilst the group waited in the vault to prevent others from hitting it, Yuno Sykk proceeded to tell his twin sister Ray, that members of Gulag Gang were circling the City Vault.
When Ramee arrived, he was ambushed and held at gunpoint by Jean Paul, Marty Banks and Jack Cortair. Ultimately, the three members of Gulag Gang made the decision to shoot Ramee, who Marty proceeded to ocean dump.
Ramee than woke up in the hospital with no memory of what occurred, but did wake up with a lung full of water. Members of Chang Gang, then inferred that it was Gulag Gang that was likely responsible for the ocean dumping of Ramee. The group collectively decided that they would go to war with Gulag Gang.
Between the declaration of war and the events that unfolded, a few minor incidents took place. Members of Chang Gang , including Fernando Reyes and Juan Carlos Hernandez had kidnapped a member of Gulag Gang , Zuck Cuc, and mag-dumped him in front of the Strawberry Gas Station. Members of Gulag Gang responded by mag-dumping Billy Phresh in front of the Little Seoul Gas Station. Street Team now became involved due to the attack on their member, and retaliated by kidnapping and slitting the throat of Selena Martinez.
A four on four gunfight occurred, with three members of Gulag Gang and two members of Chang Gang going down.
Selena also ambushed and downed Novah Walker with a knife at the Strawberry Gas Station.
Marty Banks, Jack Cortair and Appie Turk also met with Mr. Kebun, Ramee El-Rahman and other members of Chang Gang at the Maldini's Pizzeria to discuss the events that occurred. Ramee was willing to end the war for an apology, but Jack and Marty ended up refusing to apologise for Ramee's ocean dumping. The three members of Gulag Gang were later shot at Maldini's and ocean dumped in revenge.
