abstract	Archie Ellis (1969-1986) was a student and wide receiver at Eastside High, a school racked by gang and drug problems. Ellis lived with his grandmother and was guided by Ed McCain, a man working for the Overtown Youth Rehab Project (where his grandmother also works) to stay out of the trap the 'hood is (where most kids either end up in jail, in gangs, or dead). Ellis made a mistake arranging to drop off a package of heroin to someone named "Tootie", but instead gives it to Metro-Dade Vice Detective James "Sonny" Crockett, who busts him on the spot. McCain pleads for Ellis' release due to his pending college scholarship offers for his football ability (and the reason he took the risk was to get money for football shoes), which strikes a chord with Crockett, who was a star wide receiver for the University of Florida in his youth, only to lose his pro dreams to injury and the "Southeast Asian Conference", and arranges to get Ellis an unconditional walk on his arrest, if he helps bust Luther (the kid that arranged for Ellis to drop off the package), when the meet turned into a shootout, Ellis put his life on the line to save Crockett and his partner, Ricardo "Rico" Tubbs, and Luther is busted. Crockett visits Ellis at his grandmother's home and gives him money for football shoes, and his prized possession--his game ball from a 95 yard TD pass in the Gator Bowl. After the deaths of six teenagers inside Luther's lair (and several gang members from the Apostles), a near-riot occurred at Eastside, and since A.D.A. William Pepin could not get Luther tried as an adult, and needing a confession to bust Luther's distributor, Curtis "Count" Walker on murder, Pepin takes back Ellis' free walk (much to Crockett's and McCain's anger) and forces him to wear a wire to get a confession, or Pepin reinstates Ellis' trafficking charges and bring Luther in on distribution. Ellis, showing great maturity for his age, agrees (despite McCain's pleas not to and Crockett's offer of recanting his testimony) and is successful in getting the confession, but Walker discovers the wire and shoots Ellis dead, much to Crockett's intense distress. After Ellis' death, Crockett goes to see the family, but McCain refuses to let him in and his grandmother throws his football in disgust and grief, and Crockett throws the ball in the trash.
