== Recent Events ==
*Denzel is a full-member of the Leanbois.
== Prison and Facing Death ==
Denzel faced the death penalty for the murder of Deputy Michael Dias. He was advised by his attorney, Adrienne West, that if he accepted a "plea deal" that his life would be spared, and he would serve 60 years in prison. 
Members of the Leanbois visited him in prison, and tried to convince him to escape during his trial. However, Denzel already accepted his fate, and he told Buddha, Ricky, Ellie, Siz, and Speedy that he was taking the plea deal, and would do his time. 
His friends left the prison heartbroken, yet still determined to try and save him from custody; however, when the Leanbois arrived at the courthouse, there was heavy security. They gave up on their plan, and watched as Denzel accepted the plea deal. Judge Dennis LaBarre sentenced Denzel to 60 years, including time already served. 
While awaiting a court case in prison, Denzel co-founded the Beatdown Crew, a prison gang dedicated to smuggling contraband into and out of Bolingbroke Penitentiary. 
He was eventually informed about his court case, which was previously denied. He was released on parole and ordered to not commit any crimes for three years.

== Departing Los Santos ==
On September 8th, 2020, August Vakarian gave Denzel a phone call, asking for a meeting. Once they met up in person, she asked multiple questions about the truth of Ricky Robins. After Denzel came to the realization that she knew everything about what actually happened to Ricky, he held her up with a Draco, and demanded how she found out. She outed Curtis Swoleroid and Eugene Zuckerberg as the people who told her, and Denzel walked her down to the very end of the pier. Louis Baton and Apples came down to the pier, and were also held up by Denzel. 
After talking for a while, Apples realized that Denzel really did kill Ricky; and Denzel took a line of cocaine, knowing what he had to do would be hard. "Cellar Ricky" came down the pier on a bicycle, and once she was held up, she claimed that Apples had told her to come down. Denzel freaked out in a fit of rage, mowing her down with his Draco. Shortly after, he told Apples to "look his wife in the eyes one last time", while shooting her down. Louis and Apples tried to calm Denzel down, but Denzel responded with, "wrong place, wrong fucking time, Louis," before he shot him in the back - killing him. After Apples and Denzel had a final one-on-one conversation, he gave Apples time to have a final moment with his wife, before also shooting down Apples.
Denzel regretting what he had done, and enraged by Curtis' and Eugene's actions, decided to call Speedy and confide in him. After getting himself cleaned up, and getting the blood off of himself, he called Saab to discuss everything. Saab continued to reiterate to Denzel that it wasn't the time to go after Eugene or Curtis. Denzel angrily insisted they do it now, but Saab talked him down. They came to the agreement that if Saab helped Denzel get Lauren Forcer, that he would wait to go after Eugene and Curtis. Shortly after, they met with Ellie Dono where Leanbois all began, in the shack in the desert. The three of them called Kanye Mushkin, and prepared to blow up Lauren before leaving Los Santos, following Lang Buddha's recent departure. 
=== One Last Job ===
Once the four of them were grouped up, and had gathered the weaponry (including the C4), they went on the hunt for Lauren. They found her at a traffic stop, held her at gunpoint, and quickly threw her in the trunk. They took her up north to sign her off duty so she couldn't be tracked; and on the way, Lauren and Denzel had an in-depth discussion about their "relationship". Denzel wanted to take her to where he killed Michael Dias, near the entrance of Benny's. 
On the way back into the city, Denzel confessed to gunning down all four people on the pier earlier in the day; and specifically confessed to killing Louis Baton. When they arrived at Dias' place of death, Denzel cut Lauren's pinky finger off, and then placed the C4 at her feet. Denzel demanded that Lauren beg and plea with him to let her live, but he eventually he turned his back on her. Stating a simple, "light her up," Ellie and Saab shot her , and Denzel pressed the detonator for the C4. 
The group quickly drove off from the scene, but Denzel wanted to go back and spit on Lauren's blown up body. When they arrived back at the scene, Owen Svensen was just making his way into Benny's, and thus no cop was witness to Denzel spitting on her. After a description of the vehicle leaving the scene by an EMS worker, Brian Knight discovered the group in Paleto. They had a brief shootout, and managed to get away after making sure they were no longer being followed. Denzel, Ellie, and Saab stole a boat, tweeted out "Farewell" photos, and sailed to Mexico. 
Denzel has at least one count of murder (for Louis Baton) on an active warrant for his arrest when he returns to Los Santos.
