- 2:47Speaker 1: Office for its investigation, as well as the victim's neighbors,
- 2:50Speaker 1: who provided home security footage to help identify Hernandez Maravillo.
- 2:56Speaker 1: It shows that home security devices are important to protect
- 2:59Speaker 1: one's family, but also to protect one's community. Wise said.
