The United Blood Nation was formed on July 16, 1993, when incarcerated gang leaders Omar "OG Mack" Portee and Leonard "OG Dead Eye" McKenzie allied several gangs – including the Nine Trey Gangsters, GKB (G-Shine), Sex Money Murder, 183 Gangster Bloods, Valentine Gangster Bloods, and Blood Stone Villains – to protect members from the dominant Ñetas and Latin Kings gangs.
Unconfirmed rumours state that one of the founding members of the gang was a former member of a New York-based gang known as G-Shine Bloods, who had relocated to the neighborhood in the early 2000s.
