Lamar Henderson was a friend of Jefferson Pierce.

History

Lamar was a decent kid living in gang-ridden Brick City. He faced constant pressure to join one of the local gangs and was shot in the arm by a member of the Royal Family for false flagging another gang's colors. Jefferson Pierce saved him. Lamar was again targeted by the Royal Family. This time, Pierce was hospitalized and another teacher was killed. Lamar was worn down by the constant pressure and joined the Home Crew to protect himself and his grandmother. He stopped a fellow Home Crew banger named Strapper Kane from shooting at police. His actions stopped a massacre and possible gang war. Lamar and his grandmother were forced to leave Brick City for fear of retaliation from Strapper and the Crew.
