Background[]

Season 4[]

He worked with Donut and Randy Wagstaff to deliver flyers on election day. He later began to sell drugs with Namond, Donut, and Byron. Despite being the youngest of his friends he is consistently the most profane. After attempting to steal from Namond, he is savagely beaten by Michael.

Kenard is seen working Michael's new corner with Dukie. Kenard attempted to sell drugs to Roland Pryzyblewski, who was observing Dukie from afar. ("Final Grades")

Season 5[]

Kenard shows a fearless attitude, even in the presence of Omar Little, who is highly feared among drug crews throughout the series. Omar is spotted by Kenard while he walks around corners owned by Marlo, hobbling because of his injured leg, robbing Marlo's dealers and dumping their re-ups down sewer drains and challenging the young drug lord to face him in the streets. Kenard is seen with a group of children, holding a feral cat down with a bottle of lighter fluid nearby. He follows Omar into a Korean-owned convenience store; Omar pays little attention to Kenard, giving him only a sidelong glance and dismissing him as a child. Kenard shoots Omar through the head, killing him. ("Clarifications")

Kenard is seen being led away in handcuffs by Detective Crutchfield, the lead investigator in Omar's murder. ("-30-")
