"No-Heart" Anthony Little was the older brother of notorious Baltimore stickup man Omar Little.

History

Background

In 1985, a nine-year-old Omar, his brother Anthony Little, and an unidentified older boy planned and executed the robbery of a man at a bus stop. Omar questioned the value of robbing the man and then forced the older boy at gunpoint to return the stolen money.  Anthony expressed bemusement at Omar's actions. The unidentified boy told Anthony that Omar was not "cut out" for their line of work.

In the early 1990s, after bungling a jewelry store heist, Anthony was pursued by the Baltimore Police Department. Unable to serve a prison sentence, Anthony shot himself in the chest. He survived the the suicide attempt and only received a contact wound. After this incident, he earned the derisive nickname "No Heart" Anthony.
