“I don’t want him in my neighborhood,” exclaimed the woman in the video.

Omar Dominguez, a local business owner, tracked down Chuy near Avenue 52 and Monroe and convinced him to share his face and story.

The community came together Friday and donated money.

“We sold out three times. We went and bought a bunch of flowers and they sold out, bought some more flower and they sold out,” said Dominguez.
