"About to graduate high school and join the Army, 18-year-old Omar Ortega's life changes in an instant during one fateful night that leaves him labeled as a cop killer and fighting for his own life, which is now in the hands of law-and-order advocates, community organizers and the public"--Publisher.
Southern California. Omar Ortega is about to graduate high school. For years he's been on the fringes of gang life, trying desperately to stay out of the cross-hairs. Joining the Army will help get his mother and siblings out of the barrio, where they've lived since his father was deported. But Chunks, the gang's shot-caller, has plans for Omar. By dawn Omar will be labeled a cop-killer. One night can destroy a man and all who depend on him-- that he's innocent does not matter. -- adapted from jacket and Goodreads info
