Probably one of Obonzo’s “unaccompanied minor” drug dealers that he recently released from prison.

So now he gets rung up on attempted murder along with the various other charges and he goes away for a really long time. Hopefully he gets situated in the skinhead wing of the prison and gets an early release due to assumption of room temperature and a general horizontal disposition.
