Biography[]
Crow ran show selling supplies for followers of Santeria. He was also a ruthless drug dealer in the Bronx, who solicited at-risk kids as couriers. Crow shot a customer named Shorty Esposito in front of young Elias Barrera, so Elias kept the gun to protect himself from Crow. When he saw Crow outside his elementary school, he pulled a gun to shoot him, but the bullet killed a girl named Carly Jackson instead. Elias was on trial for murder, but when the gun was tied to Shorty's murder, the investigation was reopened.
Crow was questioned and tried to point the finger at other dealers in the neighborhood. In the meantime, he cut the throat of his affiliate, Antonio "Sweetness" Strada, killing him to silence him. Elias eventually revealed his motives for the shooting, afraid to be killed by Crow and only knowing his street name. When the suspects were narrowed down Elias wore a mask to walk with police to the three suspects and identify them by their voices. He was to squeeze Detective Elliot Stabler's hand when he heard who Machete was, and he did so for Crow. Crow was arrested, even in spite of trying to bribe the detectives.
Crow would face strong prison sentences for his crimes. Elias was absolved of charges for killing Carly, but another kid, Thomas "T.J." James, shot him in revenge.
Trivia[]
- The shooting of Carly Jackson is inspired by the shooting of Kayla Rolland.
