The Savage Nomads were a mostly Puerto Rican and African American street gang founded in the South Bronx, New York City in 1970 by Benjamin Melendez. Active primarily in the 1970s, they engaged in small crimes and rivalries with gangs like the Savage Skulls. After a period of dormancy, the gang resurfaced in 2017 with linked homicides.
