May 11, 1961 - Luis Felipe

Luis Felipe, also known as "King Blood", is a Cuban former gang leader and is the founder of the New York chapter of the Latin Kings (ALKN) street gang.

Born in Havana, Cuba, Felipe emigrated to the United States in the Mariel Boatlift in 1980. Six years later, in 1986, after fleeing Chicago, he founded the New York chapter of the Latin Kings.

In 1995, he was convicted of ordering multiple murders from prison by writing to members of the Latin Kings on the outside. Judge John S. Martin Jr. sentenced him to life imprisonment plus 45 years. Furthermore, the judge added extraordinary conditions, surprising even prosecutors. Judge Martin said Felipe must serve the sentence in solitary confinement.
