Four adults and one child (left to right: Debbie Cerrillo, unidentified woman, Harry Gibbs, and Michael Gibbs) are gathered closely together in a nighttime setting. Debbie Cerrillo (at left) is holding a handwritten sign that reads “You Buy You Die.” The group is dressed in casual clothing; one adult wears a leather jacket, and another has a backpack. The child Michael Gibbs stands in the foreground looking slightly away from the camera. The background is dark, with a few distant lights barely visible.
