That apartment complex is right next to a few openings to “The Tunnels”. They are full of transients, druggies, and kids who’s parents don’t know how dangerous they are. Besides getting robbed or raped, if a good rainstorm hits, you could drown.

Is he and his family Hispanic? I am not sure if the y are hispanic. Perhaps the author could use the word hispanic a few more times to drill into our heads that he is hispanic.
Which is a ironic word now since the use of it seems to cause many folks his-panic

Looks like mugshot from a previous arrest but yet he was sharing a room with his sisters. I wonder what the story was with that guy. Hopefully they get him soon.
