Travis

Travis was sitting on the curb in front of Grandma Ella's restaurant on Jefferson Ave, drinking Olde English malt liquor out of a plastic bag. He watched teenagers, not much younger than him, pile out of a school bus and make their way up the sidewalk to their homes. The bus stop is in front of Best Way Market where 17-year-old Reginald Hudgins was shot during a drive-by shooting. Another 17-year-old was arrested for the killing.
