Omar Little and associates - wikipedia Omar Little and associates Omar Little 's Crew Founded by Omar Little Years active 1994 -- 2008 Territory Baltimore, Maryland Ethnicity African American, Hispanic Criminal activities Armed robbery Rivals Barksdale Organization, New Day Co-Op, Stanfield Organization The following are characters who have worked with Omar Little on the HBO drama The Wire. Omar and his associates make their living robbing drug dealers. For the first three seasons, he mainly targets the Barksdale Organization. Later, he goes after the Stanfield Organization, culminating with a robbery of the entire New Day Co-Op. Omar himself never goes after any citizens or non-drug related people, nor do the rest of his crew who follow him. The others who work with Omar are often Baltimore stick - up artists whose motive for siding with Omar is the money associated with robbing stash houses. As Omar is gay, many other members of his crew are also of an LGBT background ( Omar 's boyfriends in addition to Kimmy and Tosha amongst others ), while other members are of a heterosexual background and side with Omar due to his feared reputation among Baltimore drug dealers.

'' Omar is unanimously disliked and feared by several drug dealers throughout the city as his heists hit them hard, while his moral code keeps him on good terms with some Baltimore police. His bold robberies make him a hero amongst corner and neighborhood kids, and he proves to belong to the class of Wire characters with integrity and intelligence, including those like Omar who make mistakes, but own up to and learn from those errors in judgement. Butchie Main article : Butchie `` Mostly blind '' Butchie is Omar Little 's bank and advisor. He runs a West - Side Baltimore bar. Omar 's boyfriends Brandon wright Played by : Michael Kevin Darnall Appears in season one : `` The Buys '' ; `` Old Cases '' ; `` The Pager '' and `` The Wire ''. 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. Dante Played by : Ernest Waddell Appears in : Season two : `` Hot Shots ''. Season three : `` All Due Respect '' ; `` Dead Soldiers '' ; `` Straight and True '' ; `` Homecoming '' ; `` Moral Midgetry '' ; `` Slapstick '' ; `` Reformation '' and `` Mission Accomplished ''. Dante becomes Omar Little 's new boyfriend in the year following Brandon 's death and joins his stick - up operation. He is jealous when Omar adds Kimmy and Tosha Mitchell to the crew. In season three, Dante accidentally kills Tosha while fleeing a heavily guarded Barksdale stash house after a failed attempt at a stick - up ( confirmed by commentary from David Simon and further dialogue in Episode 7 ), exacerbating the rift between Dante and the surviving Kimmy. Dante is kidnapped by Brother Mouzone and his associate Lamar in an effort to locate Omar. Dante provides them with the necessary information after enduring a beating, notably less brutal than which Brandon was able to endure. He is released after the conclusion of Omar and Mouzone 's successful conspiracy to kill Stringer Bell. Dante was then replaced by Renaldo in season four but there was no explanation given for his departure after season three. Renaldo Played by : Ramón Rodríguez Appears in Season four : `` Home Rooms ; '' `` Refugees ; '' `` Misgivings ; '' `` A New Day ; '' `` That 's Got His Own ; '' and `` Final Grades. '' Season five : `` Not for Attribution ''. Renaldo is Omar 's partner in season four and appears assisting him in the robbery of various drug dealers. Renaldo owns a taxi that he and Omar frequently use for surveillance of their targets. Renaldo is the show 's first main Hispanic character and introduces other Hispanic characters into the show to assist in the robbery of the New Day Co-Op in the episode `` That 's Got His Own ''. Following the heist Omar and Renaldo leave Baltimore for an idyllic retirement in Puerto Rico but Omar is compelled to return to Baltimore when Butchie is killed and Renaldo is not seen again after Butchie 's death. Others John bailey Played by : Lance Williams Appears in season one : `` The Buys '' ; `` Old Cases '' and `` The Pager ''.

Season four : `` That 's Got His Own '' and `` Final Grades ''. Kimmy and Tosha Mitchell were lovers and associates in robbing drug dealers. Omar Little returned to Baltimore and persuaded them both to join his crew. Kimmy was adept at infiltrating drug dealing operations, using a number of disguises including posing as a nurse to Omar 's disabled veteran. Tosha was accidentally killed by Omar 's boyfriend Dante in a heist on a Barksdale stash, leaving Kimmy distraught. She then decided to leave Omar 's crew, stating that there were easier people to rob than the Barksdale organization. Kimmy reunites with Omar in an elaborate plot to steal Proposition Joe 's large drug shipment meant for his co-op. Following the successful heist, Kimmy takes her cut of stolen drugs and tells Omar that she will now retire from this profession.
