"D.J." is an 18-year-old local boy who seems to have trouble maintaining eye contact, constantly shifting in his seat and checking his surroundings, over each shoulder. Looking after himself is second nature; D.J. has been a member of a gang since he was 13, when he had to fight three "old G's," or grown gang members, in order to be initiated.
