Nathan Barksdale, the drug kingpin who had a big influence on the HBO show, “The Wire” has died in a North Carolina Prison. The cause of death has not been released as of yet.
Barksdale served 15 years in prison for a battery charge. After serving the 15 he went back to serve another 4 after pleading guilty to a drug conspiracy back in 2014. Barksdale also worked with Safe Streets, which was a anti-violence program that the Health Department ran.
May his soul rest in peace.
