A young African American man with a promising future is gunned down in Los Angeles by an illegal alien gang member. And the Los Angeles City Council springs into action.

A star running back on his high school football team, Jamiel was also a good enough student to be recruited to play college ball at Stanford, one of the elite universities in the nation.
