Rue's long road ahead

Fezco is a young drug dealer, while also running a small shop. He is highlighted by the relationship he has with Rue in the series which is described as "friends". It is later known in the series that he thinks of Rue as his sister and acts in accordance to that revelation.

After a dramatic shootout, Ashtray was shot dead in front of Fez.
