Erick started in Texas. After a stint in juvi, he absconded up to Seattle to be with his dad. Bringing his girlfriend, who was pregnant with their first son at the time. He waited out the law until his record was expunged and he was free to move around again. The streets were familiar and he ran them under his fathers protection. Still he didn't manage to stay away from the law. Multiple run-ins and short sentences plagued his life, culminating in a second degree murder charge. But don't take my word for it, these are his words.
