Downtown Gang
The Downtown Gang was one of the two gangs that dominated the organized crime world in Galveston, Texas, United States, mainly during prohibition. The gang was founded by Johnny Jack Nounes in 1910. The gang would become a large profiteer and leader in the Galveston Crime Syndicate while fighting for control of the island. The gang operated many clubs along the island while even having some barges that floated on the gulf to keep the law away from the illegal gambling, alcohol, and prostitution.
==Origins and Pre-Prohibition==
Johnny Jack formed the Downtown Gang in 1910. This is about the same time Ollie Quinn and Dutch Voight's Beach Gang was formed. At the start the two gangs usually controlled gambling on the island. They decided to use Broadway to set the boundaries of their territories. As prohibition was approaching Johnny Jack looked for a partner to get in with him, and so he found a Houston boy by the name of George Musey. Musey was a Syrian who was not even old enough to take drink and he was from a family of immigrants, just like Nounes. As the country went dry in 1920, the gang began to make it rain with booze.
