History
The Nomads were originally members of the Black Power, known as the "Black Power Nomads" before a large portion of the gang split and formed their own gang in 1977.
In 1997, tensions heated up with the Highway 61 gang and resulted in the murder of Nomad Malcom Munns.
In 2009, Nomads founder and President Dennis Hines died. He is the known brother of senior Head Hunters member, William Hines. He was imprisoned on a count of nearly 100 criminal convictions.
The gang currently has 103 members imprisoned.
