Shoreside Crew

The Shoreside Crew is the primary unit in the Californian Venice Beach faction of the Torelli crime family. The Shoreside Crew is primarily active in Venice Beach, but also has command in the greater Los Angeles area, specifically in Koreatown, Wilshire, Fashion District, and Hollywood. The Shoreside Crew has been active since 2014, and is the child of a previous and unsuccessful criminal outfit tied to the Torelli crime family. The leader of the Shoreside Crew is Vincent-Dante "Slim" Ragusa.
The Shoreside Crew stands out among most outfits of the Torelli crime family in that it employs African-Americans, Koreans, and Mexicans - sometimes in high positions of power. However, according to leakers and publicized testimonies of criminal informants, the Shoreside Crew still carries out traditional ceremonies of acceptance - or being "made" - reserved for individuals who can trace their lineage back to Italy and Sicily.
The supposed current headquarters of the Shoreside Crew is Family Auto on Western Avenue in Koreatown. The headquarters in Venice Beach is rumored to be somewhere on Pacific Avenue.

A plethora of information regarding the Shoreside Crew and its activities was gained through the testimony of Juan Escalante and Pietro "Pete" DiBernardo, both in 2021.
