Brandon was Omar Little 's boyfriend and a member of his stick - up crew. Brandon mistakenly used Omar 's name in front of Barksdale drug dealers as they robbed their stash in the low rise projects; the name was reported back and started a long running feud between Omar and the Barksdale organization. Avon Barksdale placed bounties on all of Omar 's crew. Brandon was spotted by Wallace and Poot Carr playing pinball at "The Greek 's '' - a restaurant on the west side. They alerted D'Angelo Barksdale to the find who passed the message to Stringer Bell. Stringer arrived with three Barksdale enforcers Marquis "Bird '' Hilton, Roland "Wee - Bey '' Brice and Anton "Stinkum '' Artis. Brandon was captured by Bell 's crew, tortured, and killed, his body displayed in the low rise projects as a warning to Omar on Avon 's instructions. Afterward, Omar escalated their feud, refusing to relent after the ruthlessness shown, repeatedly referencing Brandon 's murder as unnecessarily harsh.
