The Latin Scorpions were probably the first Puerto Rican gang to start up in the East Humboldt Park section of the West Town neighborhood in 1964 as both a baseball club and a gang.

The Scorpions made peace with Latin Kings right away in 1964 in order to join in the fight against the white greaser gangs.

Sometime in the 1970s the Latin Scorpions went extinct.
