D’Ovien Thomas, 15, moved to Milwaukee from Arkansas several months ago. He spends his time outside of school at the nonprofit Running Rebels, 1300A W. Fond Du Lac Ave. Although he has not lived in Lindsay Heights long, he said people know each other and look out for each other, and he has not seen the crime and drug activity that is reported on the news.
