Meet Dreamer`s brother Santos. Dreamer is the Homie that was randomly shot at a graduation party for him and Sad Girl. Santos used to be a hadcore Gangbanger. He was extremely proud of his younger brother Dreamer, because of his incredible artistic talent, and because of the fact that he was the first of the 4 brothers that was going to graduate from Hig School. Now that Dreamer has been taken from him by mindless hate and violence...Santos is the sole remaining brother.

Santos`s other two brothers, had also been killed in gang violence. Santos cannot understand why the Lord didn`t take him instead. He was the Vato Loco...not Dreamer. He was the Homie soldier, running with the clique, down for whatever...representing to the fullest...ready to die for his Barrio. Dreamer went to school every day...hung out with sad Girl all the time...and even received full scholarship to an art college. Dreamer never hurt anyone. He and Painter adorned the Barrio walls with beautiful mural images of Jesucristo and La Virgencita...why did God take him?

Santos considered suicide after he lost his carnalillo...but Sad Girl told
him that he can change his life and live for Dreamer. He can dedicate himself to spreading the message of the pain of the gangsta lifestyle. He can tell the young Homies that the respect, fear and glamour they think they will gain by joining the ganga is not worth the pain, suffering it and loneliness it will inevitably bring. La Vida Loca is not worth the life of one Homie...especially one with a bright future like Dreamer.

Santos is now a minister, and prays diligently for the strength to spread his anti-gang and drug message. He has successfully saved many Homies, and turned them over to the Lord`s care. He now runs Homies Outreach, a non profit church...that helps lost Homies that want to be saved.
