Usually when a press report says 'Long Island,' it means a middle or working class person, often of some ethnic or racial minority rather than saying 'Thug from the part of Brooklyn you want to stay the Hell out of.' When it's an affluent person, they'll say 'Hampton Youth,' 'Garden City Teen,' or something of the sort and omit the 'Long Island' part entirely.
