Cockroach Hamilton

"Dontrell "Cockroach" Hamilton. New-school uptown player. Scarfe tainted his conviction, so they had to let him go." "That uncouth nigga got 20 mil laying around?" "Runs an off-book casino. Might not have the pedigree yet, but he has the high-rollin' rapper and athlete clientele."

- Shades and Mariah Dillard

Dontrell "Cockroach" Hamilton was a criminal previously arrested by Misty Knight and Rafael Scarfe. As Scarfe's unethical methods had tainted his conviction, his sentence was voided and he was released and immediately returned to crime, confident that nobody would dare arrest him. He was murdered by Bushmaster, who displayed his severed head on a pike at the Shirley Chisholm Complex entrance to send a message to Mariah Dillard.

Fabricated Arrest
"Story of my life. Running from the police. Slapped up by the police. Beat up by the police. Framed by the dirty police. Thrown in jail by Rafael Scarfe for some shit I didn't even do."
