Early Life
As a teenager Ricardo was an aggressive student which did not pay attention in classes and disturbed fellow teachers and staff members. His father Eduardo Gonzalez who was also a known cocaine dealer of the neighborhood, did not encourage him to study at all. Ricardo received the nickname “Ricky Guns” because he was a person who did not hide his passion for firearms, and due to the similar sounding it made. Ricky for Ricardo, ‘Guns’ for Gonzalez. Once he turned fifteen he left school to wonder the streets of San Andreas, and search for something that he would be able to commit to. He found the mafia.

Criminal Career
In 1981 Ricardo has taken over most of Los Santos’ downtown territory after successfully signing an agreement along with Tony Gonzalez, his brother, for Don Vito Casazza who at the time controlled the whole city with his crime family who originated in Liberty City. He was working his way up the chain of criminality and stepped over anyone else who got in his path to success. Ricardo was known for his charisma and rage, which sometimes brought many political complications upon him. As a legitimate businessman Ricardo was a part-time politician and a movie producer to show legitimate income, so he would not be prisoned for tax evasion. He made one of the most popular movies in San Andreas which included some of his associates and himself. He produced and directed “Badfellas” and received an Oscar. He began getting noticed by many pedestrians on the streets and his image as a gangster slowly began fading away.

The Casa Blanca Family
On the 11th of October, 1987 Ricardo’s alleged ‘under-boss’ Fabio Santano hanged himself after finding out his pregnant wife was assassinated outside his own property. Once that occured Ricardo decided to form a new crew, and once again roam the city as a ruthless mafioso and seek vengeance for what was done to Santano. Within two and a half years Ricardo was once again at his peak with millions of dollars average income per year. He was later on sent to prison for conspiracy to commit murder after two men in his high ranking management position, Carlito and Santiago Martini fed him to the Federal Buearue of Investigation.

The War of 1997
After serving 10 years in a high facility prison Ricardo was released. His financial loss was extreme and he was once again in massive debts which he had to overcome somehow. This forcefuly lead him straight back into the ilegal businesses he was once involved in. Before Ricardo took over his old organization, he set out on his own to kill the ones who backstabbed him. He murdered Carlito and Santiago Martini also known as ‘The Martini brothers”. By then they were running the city and growing with massive amounts of drugs coming in from San Fierro. Once they died Ricardo abolished their existence and decided to leave to Angel Pine with his sister, to live a quiet life.

The Downtown Syndicate
In 2001 Ricardo returned to Los Santos after the death of his sister and joined his brother Tony Gonzalez in the El Corona Cafe. In a couple of months four major businesses were silently owned by Ricardo and his crime family associates and his new organization was spreading all over the city.

The Downtown Industries
Four different businesses are involved in the Downtown Industries. The Pig Pen, the Downtown Restaurant, Downtown Cafe, and the RAWR Nightclub. Previously the Downtown Casino was also owned by Dominic Garcia but was sold on the 23rd of May, 2011.
