FOX 11 shared Ramirez's story back in May 2023. He told FOX 11's Susan Hirasuna that he had been living in the streets for about two years at the time of the interview.
Ramirez told FOX 11 in the May interview that he uses a generator to power the projector and the WiFi allowing the streams came from a hot spot. He told Hirasuna in the May interview that he charges his electronic devices, including the generator, at a Metro station in Hollywood.
