No it doesn't matter. Not in this case. His place of residence has not been shown to have anything to do with his illness, his alleged assault, or anything else.
What area is he from,then? If you are so certain that he is a gang member, then you must know exactly where in DC he lived since the area is an important factor.
I don't think, "oh, he's from DC. He must be a gang member and he must be guilty of trying to kill someone because he is from DC" will hold water in our legal system. No, but the fact he has a violent background as well was court ordered into a mental health facility, as well as escaped with 3 other juveniles that all had violent backgrounds might hold up in court .... but you never know
The fact is that every patient in that facility is being treated for something that could conceivable make them at risk for violent behavior and some given point in time. The fact that he is from DC does not mean that he is a greater risk than any other patient in the faciltiy.
The fact is, if he grew up near 13th and U streets, he is a gang member.
