Wallace : A low-level drug dealer in the Barksdale organization. Omar Little : An extremely talented and charismatic-on-purpose stickup man who robs drug dealers. The Stanfield organization is headed by Marlo Stanfield, perhaps the most vicious, most cold-blooded character on the show.
Brother Mouzone : An extremely talented and charismatic-on-accident enforcer-for-hire in the drug trade. The more intricate or nuanced a thing is, the more opportunities there are for Easter eggs. And since The Wire is, in all likelihood, the overall best television show of all time, it would make sense that there are lots and lots of Easter eggs stashed away in it. Rather than use the regular area code, which is what almost all movies and TV shows use because it leads to nowhere, the show writers opted to give Marlo a Baltimore area code.

Later, Wallace unknowingly received counterfeit cash from Bubbles and Johnny Weeks. D'Angelo realizes that the money is counterfeit and chastised Wallace for failing to notice it.
The next day, Wallace was given the same counterfeit dollars by Johnny Weeks, now failing to notice it due to his focus on an unruly customer. Bodie took notice and the crew confronted Weeks.
Though D'Angelo grabbed a real ten dollar bill from Weeks and is willing to let it go at that, the other young dealers brutally beat him and he landed in the emergency room with severe injuries, especially from Wallace having smashed a glass bottle onto Weeks's head. The next time we see him, Wallace is eating McNuggets with Poot and expressing his liking of it. After Omar Little and his gang rob The Pit crew's stash of drugs, Avon immediately places a bounty on them.
Wallace isn't present at either the robbery or the ensuing police raid, in which Bodie endures a beating by the police and many of the Barksdale drug dealers are arrested. Bodie escapes the police and returns to Baltimore, where Wallace betrays the extent of his youthfulness to him by playing with a toy in Bodie's sight.
Since Wallace was supposed to be on guard duty at the time, Bodie smashes a bottle in Wallace's proximity, causing a minor injury on the latter's forehead.
After, while both Wallace and Poot are visiting an arcade, Poot recognizes Brandon Wright , Omar's boyfriend and accomplice, on the pinball machine.
He points him out to Wallace, who decides to pass the information on by calling D'Angelo. Both Wallace and Poot wait outside the arcade for Russell Bell to arrive.
They abduct Brandon and later torture him to death. His body is then displayed on the hood of a car, coincidentally outside of Wallace's residence. After Poot and Wallace gather food for children in their home, the young dealers visit the crime scene of Brandon's body. Poot is merely sickened somewhat by Brandon's mutilated corpse, but Wallace is overcome with moroseness and guilt. For most of that day, Wallace voices his disdain of the display to D'Angelo, who reminds him that murdering Brandon is " This only serves to sharpen Wallace's feeling of blame.
He approaches D'Angelo and expresses a desire to return to school. D'Angelo is friendly and supportive and gives him some cash. Poot soon finds that Wallace has spent the money on drugs and is pining away at home. Stringer was still effectively in charge of the Barksdale empire at the start of the season, and had become even more businesslike in his thinking, forming a retail co-op with Proposition Joe and other rival dealers, and running meetings with his underlings according to Robert's Rules of Order.
Stringer was also shown to have been involved in political donations, giving money to consultants and politicians including State Senator Clay Davis in order to facilitate the development of a building of condominiums.
However, despite Stringer's best efforts to reform the drug game and make the transition from a criminal to a legitimate businessman, he found his efforts hindered by Avon. While Stringer wanted to move into a strictly financial role of financing a package, then using the profits from that package to make legitimate business investments, Avon, fresh out of prison, was determined to remain a gangster and go to war against the fledgling drug lord Marlo Stanfield in order to take his corners from him.
As Avon's war against Marlo spiraled out of control, Stringer found himself in danger of being cut off from Prop Joe and the co-op's good supply, and discovered that Clay Davis had in fact simply pocketed the money Stringer had been giving him, without doing anything to speed the construction of the condominiums. Beyond the two being at odds over how to run their empire, Avon accused Stringer of not being hard enough to be in their business anymore.
Angry at the accusation, Stringer then reasserts his attitude by stating that he's the one who set up D'Angelo's death as D was starting to break down and would have given everyone in the Barksdale organization up as soon as he could have. Stringer and Avon saw their relationship fray as Stringer revealed this to Avon, and while Avon eventually seemed to be able to live with this, things were not quite the same between him and Stringer after that.
As Stringer saw his legitimate ambitions imperiled, he moved quickly to return Avon to prison. To that end, he betrayed Avon to Howard "Bunny" Colvin by revealing the location of his safehouse to Colvin, in the hopes of getting Avon out of the way long enough for Stringer to quiet things down. However, Stringer himself was betrayed simultaneously by Avon, when Avon sold him out to Brother Mouzone and Omar Little who sought vengeance against Stringer for engineering a conflict between them.
Shortly after Avon made the deal, he and Stringer enjoyed one last drink at Avon's harborside condominium, both men knowing they had betrayed the other, but reminiscing about old times and acting as if they were still the best of friends. The next day Omar and Brother Mouzone tracked Stringer to his development site. While Stringer is angrily meeting with a conversation with developer Andy Krawczyk, Omar interrupts the meeting by shooting his bodyguard dead.
Stringer runs through upstairs for his life or symbolically running away from the gangsta life , only to encounter Brother Mouzone. Omar and Brother Mouzone confront Stringer, who tries to offer money so they can let him go. Omar explains that Avon gave information about his whereabouts. Stringer, realizing that he can't get them to change their minds, orders them to carry on their task, which Mouzone shoots first into his chest several times before Omar opens fire from his shotgun, finally killing Stringer.
The day after Stringer's death, the Major Crimes Unit raided Avon's safehouse, where he and and his henchmen were found along with major artillery. McNulty delighted in showing Avon the search warrant, which names Stringer as the source of information.
Because Avon was on parole, and the additional charges, he was sentenced to twenty years. With Avon and most of his men imprisoned, and Stringer dead, the Barksdale organization crumbled. After Stringer's death, Detective McNulty and the police searched his apartment. The apartment was extremely clean, stylishly furnished and tastefully decorated.
