I rewatched the first season.
Bunk sleeps with a woman (when he tries to burn his clothes) who is played by the same actress who plays Miss Anna (Randy’s foster mom) in season 4. Not sure if she’s supposed to be 2 separate characters. She’s listed as 2 characters on IMDB.
The time frame is a little weird on who killed the security lady, Nakeesha Lyles. You’re meant to assume that Wee-Bey did it since he was their only real trusted hitter at the time with Bird locked up and Stinkum dead. Wee-Bey eventually pleads guilty to killing her (and even to killings that he didn’t do).
But in the 11th episode, The Hunt, is when Wee-Bey takes D’Angelo to his place and tells him to feed his fish before they go to Philly. Wee-Bey grabs his stuff, and it seems they went to Philly right after that. Stringer wanted them to take care of this ASAP and was stressed.
The 12th episode, Cleaning Up, is when Levy basically tells Stringer & Avon to kill the security lady and anyone else that can hurt them. She gets killed not too long after. Wee-Bey should have been in Philly by then, so who killed her?

I know there was a ton of actors from The Wire on We Own This City. I didn’t realize that one crooked cop of WOTC was in season 1. McNulty has him look for Wallace because he knows he’s in danger, and gives the cop and his partner a bunch of beer and food.

The reasoning
In the first court scene in the first episode, String and the hitters are in the courtroom to intimidate the witness. Including the man in the spoiler.
When things go left later in season and Kima is shot, Avon tells Weebay to erase Littleman before he hides out.
When they speak to Levy, about the other loose ends, Bay is gone. It's assumed that Avon tells SPOILER to hit the security guard woman before he turns himself in for involvement in Kima getting shot.

He was also already locked up. It was in the 11th episode (The Hunt) when McNulty and Rhonda go to Levy’s office. McNulty puts Rhonda on the spot and claims her office will look into Levy’s finances if Levy doesn’t give him up. Levy asks Rhonda if this is true and she reluctantly backs up McNulty. They then argue outside, and this is when Dominic West’s British accent slips a bit.
So later in the episode, Levy brings him in and has him plead to a lesser charge of scamming Orlando of money by selling him baking soda.

I don’t understand how this works. Shouldn’t this make Fruit’s numbers look better?
He stole $1,000 worth of drugs from Cutty and probably sold all of it. Wouldn’t he be adding some of this money to the “reported” totals to make himself look better to Marlo? (I’m guessing he pocketed the rest).
I think they would have warred regardless. Marlo was swinging his golf club and told Bodie and his people to leave. They didn’t leave, and got attacked with bats. Stringer was told about this and did nothing except try to negotiate again with Marlo. Marlo had no interest and was ready for war, but Stringer had no interest in war.
Once Avon was out, he was going to war for his corners, even if Bodie’s crew hadn’t been beaten down. He was pissed about how much territory they lost.

He was greedy, selling cuttys stuff off first and keeping the extra money. Tho I doubt theyd war iver losing a g of sales which is like 20 min work. That should not have started anything really.If the numbers were down that bad then it had to be the terriroty thing not him making a extra g on the side. Tho its a cool lil sidepiece of info.
