I'm not trying to act like I know this brother, but being from Bmore, I will tell you if you are from the east or westside of town, you heard of him. This is who 'the wire's' character Omar was based off of. His name is Donnie Andrews, RIP. He was not gay, but he did rob drug dealers and gamblers as his hustle. He was not to be taken lightly. He died from heart failure at age 58.
