Victor Santos

Victor Santos grew up in the tough neighborhood of Little Havana, Miami. Born to Cuban immigrants, his childhood was marked by poverty and a struggle for survival. Despite his parents’ hard work, the allure of street life was too strong, and Victor was drawn into the world of gangs at an early age. By 14, he was running errands for local drug dealers, and by 16, he was dealing himself. He quickly rose through the ranks of the Kings, becoming a feared figure in Miami’s gang wars. In 2020, during a heated conflict with a rival gang, Victor was involved in a shootout that left two rivals dead. Although he did not pull the trigger, his leadership role in the Kings and presence at the scene implicated him. He managed to evade law enforcement for months, but in 2021, “Operation Kingslayer” led to his capture in Brooklyn. His trial was a media spectacle, with multiple gang members testifying against him. He was convicted of second-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and drug trafficking, earning him a 35-year sentence at Dayspring Correctional Institution. Inside DCI, Victor’s reputation as a gang leader has followed him. He keeps a low profile, distancing himself from active gang involvement, but his presence is still felt. He spends his time in solitary reflection, occasionally mentoring younger inmates and maintaining his physical and mental sharpness. Though he rarely admits it, he regrets the path that led him to prison and often reflects on what his life could have been had he made different choices.
