Barksdale was a real crime figure in Baltimore. Barksdale says he consulted David Simon, the creator of The Wire, during the early filming of the highly successful mini-series. Who is Omar from the wire based on? Larry Donnell "Donnie" Andrews. Who was Devon in the wire? She is first mentioned by Avon as a means to get close to Marlo Stanfield. She catches Marlo's attention in a club and he approaches her.
Who is Little Man in the wire? Who played Avon Barksdale in the wire? Wood Harris The Wire. Did Avon give up Stringer? Brother Mouzone tells Avon that money will not settle the debt and that Avon must give up Stringer in order to maintain his word and reputation and, thus, continue dealing with New York.
Prop Joe also needed muscle to help run the NY dealers out of the east side. At the end of the series, Marlo Stanfield was released from jail but hit the streets in a scene that viewers are still questioning.
Marlo is easily one of the most despicable criminals to appear on the show. While many are shown to have some sympathetic traits like having loved ones or moral standards, he is disturbingly lacking in anything to make him sympathetic.
Officers responded to a single-car wreck on Interstate in Atlanta at about So two weeks ago, word of the death of Omar — played by Michael K. Williams — hit the streets, and on Sunday, the controversial eighth episode of this season aired on HBO proper.
However, a visit from his mother convinces him of his duty to his family, and he reneges on the deal. Due to his refusal to cooperate, he is sentenced to a maximum of 20 years in prison. Log In. To help keep your account secure, please log-in again.

Knowing that Tilghman had a side line in smuggling narcotics into the prison, Avon contrived to supply him with tainted heroin, causing numerous deaths. When the warden began an investigation, Avon came forth as an "informant", accusing Tilghman of the crime.
Narcotics were found in Tilghman's car, leading to his arrest. As a result of his testimony, Avon's first parole hearing was brought forward in exchange for the information. Despite being the one ultimately responsible for the crime, he is due to be out of jail within a year. D'Angelo grows more distant from Avon, refusing to take part in the scheme, and seeming depressed, even turning to drug use. Without Avon's knowledge, Stringer has D'Angelo killed and the scene faked to imply suicide.
Because Avon's arrest was closely followed by the arrest of a Dominican supplier, the Dominicans were suspicious that Avon might have named them to receive a lighter sentence, and the business relationship was brought to an end. Avon recommended secondary sources to Stringer but was unable to secure a quality product. Stringer suggested that they give up a portion of their territory to their rival Proposition Joe.
Avon quickly dismissed the idea, reminding Stringer how hard they worked to seize the territory in the first place. Stringer decided to act behind Avon's back and allowed Proposition Joe to move in despite Avon's order.
Avon responded by contracting the feared Brother Mouzone to defend his turf, which he forces Joe's lieutenant and nephew Cheese to depart from the towers area. After Mouzone had been shot by Omar which Stringer arranged, behind Avon's back , Avon reluctantly agreed to Stringer's proposal.
While Avon is still in prison the high rise towers are demolished forcing the Barksdale organization to return to the streets for territory.
Upon his release from prison, Avon is showered with gifts by Stringer : a nightclub, a penthouse apartment, expensive clothes, and a new SUV. Avon, while appreciative of Stringer's largesse, is outraged that Stringer has let their control over their territory slip as much as it has, and gets involved in a gang war with up-and-coming drug lord, Marlo Stanfield.
Avon employed a woman named Devonne through Slim Charles to find Marlo. She encounters Marlo in a bar, seduces him, and gives him her phone number so they can meet up again. When they later plan to meet up, it becomes clear that a trap has been set and Marlo's enforcer Chris Partlow shoots and kills a Barksdale crew member named Tater and wounds Avon in the process.
