gang fight
Rival crews clashing
A gang fight is a violent confrontation between rival gangs, typically involving multiple participants on each side.
The term implies organized or semi-organized violence rather than spontaneous brawling—territorial disputes, retaliation, or ongoing feuds between groups: Three people were injured in the gang fight outside the convenience store.
