Cheers: The Wire's Latest Shocker

Michael K. Williams in The Wire by Nicole Rivellli/HBO

Cheers to The Wire for aptly dispatching Omar (the Emmy-worthy Michael K. Williams) with a bang. The seemingly indestructible stick-up artist was suddenly gunned down by a child assassin during an otherwise mundane scene at a grocery store. It's the kind of stunning dramatic moment that made HBO's sprawling urban tableau TV's finest drama during its soon-to-conclude five-season run. May Omar - and The Wire - rest in peace.
