Am trying to remember the name of a movie or miniseries that I once saw about 8-15 years ago. I can't exactly remember when. It is about a hispanic family that has just moved and I believe that the movie/miniseries is named after the street that they now live on. There is a divorced alcoholic mother and her 3-4 children. The oldest daughter is in the bad crowd and is generally a bad girl. I remember seeing a part in the movie where she has multiple boys in the house and she is dancing for them The next oldest daughter is basically the caretaker of the family, i.e. cooking cleaning and caring for her younger sibling(s). The older daughter ends up meeting this guy whom she starts to fall for until the mother finds out. The mother confronts the boy's father who happens to be her ex-husband making the boy the daughters half brother. The two are crushed when they find out. I remember one scene where the mother is in a bad mood and tries to take it out on the second daughter, when the older sister walks in and sees what is happening she pins her mother against the wall and tells her that if she ever touches her sister again she would kill her, saying that she had no right to even touch the girl because she was the one who cared for the familys needs. At the end of the movie the oldest daughter is walking down the street(I believe after deciding to turn her life around for the better) and is caught in the crossfire of two rival "ganges" and is shot and killed. I remember the movie very well but I just cannot remember it's name or the name of any of the actors. Please help me!!
