Donnie Andrews Biography
Donnie Andrews is one of the most popular and richest Activist who was born on April 29, 1954 in Baltimore, Maryland, United States.
Andrews became a stickup artist who robbed drug dealers, but his code of ethics included never involving women or children. He was known to police for armed robbery and drug dealing in the 1970s and early 1980s in Baltimore. In 1986, local drug kingpin Warren Boardley convinced Andrews (who needed to support his heroin addiction) and Reggie Gross to take on the contract killing of Zachary Roach and Rodney “Touche” Young. Filled with guilt, Andrews surrendered himself to Ed Burns, a homicide detective with the Baltimore Police Department. Working with Burns, he agreed to wear a covert listening device, which he used to implicate Boardley and Gross in the killings.
In 1987, Andrews was sentenced to life in prison for the two murders. He was denied parole on his first attempts, but continued to study, ended his addiction to heroin, and helped other inmates by running an anti-gang workshop.
Larry Donnell “Donnie” Andrews (April 29, 1954 – December 13, 2012) was an American criminal and anti-crime advocate. He was the inspiration for the character Omar Little on the HBO series The Wire.
