Smith Hill is a Laos Pride stronghold, which locally has about 60 members, exclusively Laotian. Known for home invasions and a willingness to use firearms. Main rivals are the Young Bloods and the Tiny Raskal Gang. They have also had a long-standing feud with the Woonsocket-based Laos Out of Control, LOC, gang. No identified leader.

One of its most violent members is Khek “Evil K,” Choummalaithong, who pleaded guilty this fall to federal weapons charges and faces a possible sentence of life imprisonment.
