de Jesus-Cruz could easily have been a family name since that time. And considering Florida history, it can be name expected to be found in such a well-off community.

As it is, the kid looks awfully, well, "European" - to be lumped into the "Dreamer" or the MS-13 stereotype for those MAGA types.
If I ignored the last name, I could easily see him as nephew of Hannity, Jones, Trump, Kelly, Murdoch, the Mercers...looks like a typical upper class Anglo kid who might have a bit of an "attitude problem".
