For the last seven years, we've been following Suavez's life on an almost near daily basis. From Graterford Prison to the streets of the Philadelphia Badlands and all the way to Puerto Rico, we've done and seen a lot of things together.

Orchard Beach is on the outer edge of the Bronx, and it was this place that was full of possibilities and excitement for Suave when he was a young boy.

Long before Suave's incarceration, long before he was even called Suave, Davidcito, or Little David, would spend his weekends here with his mom, helping her sell homemade food so they could get by. It was one of his mom's many hustles. By 16 would be the last time that Suave set foot here.
