Recommended Posts

Alfredo “Scrappy” Ortiz (15 years old, Hispanic-American) knew the layout of South Los Santos like the back of his hand – not from exploring its parks or schools, but from its shadowy alleyways and vulnerable homes. His family’s move from East Los Santos hadn’t been the promised paradise. Strawberry Avenue and Forum Drive, far from offering a better life, had plunged them into a war zone between rival Bloods and Crips gangs. The promise of a brighter future had dissolved into the harsh reality of survival. Scrappy, learned to navigate this landscape, turning his innate quickness and street smarts into a grim trade. He justified his actions: He wasn't hurting anyone important, just taking from those who had more than they deserved. Or so he told himself. 

Ortiz’s had a closer relationship with his mom than his dad. His dad, a part-time contractor whose work was often unpredictable, was always grateful for Alfredo's contributions, but it was his mom, Isabella a housewife, who truly understood the weight of their financial struggles. 

Alfredo’s name would become popular around the area from him doing grand theft auto, breaking and entering, and smash and grabs. He was a known thief on the streets. Him being a thief had landed him in jail for the first time after doing a B&E off Amarillo Vista Road and being caught in the act of stealing from the home on the Eastside. Ortiz was arrested and shipped off to a Youth Detention Center for his actions which caused his criminal record to start with 7 charges: 6 misdemeanors and 1 felony causing him to do 1 month. He started fighting other teens inside Y.D.C to show he wasn’t a punk or buster winning most of his fights other teens in the facility started calling him “Scrappy” and the name stuck onto him like glue. Once, released Ortiz would start to hang out with his old friend group that went by “Tiny Bombers” a tagging clique he knew really well.
