Ferris is the main antagonist from the crime film, Boyz n the Hood. He is an OG of the Crenshaw Mafia Gangsters, and a leader of a small group, who are also responsible for the murder of Ricky Baker (caused by Ferris' Triggerman, Ricky's Killer, or Knucklehead #2), the younger brother of Darrin "Doughboy" Baker.
He was portrayed by Raymond Turner.
History[]
Not much is known about Ferris and his henchmen, besides that he is a longtime gangster, who sunk a lot of time and work into becoming an OG of the Crenshaw Mafia Gangsters set of Bloods in Southern Los Angeles, California. Tre is first confronted by Ferris and his henchmen at the streets, with the triggerman pointing a double-barreled shotgun at him as a form of intimidation before driving off.
Not long after, Ferris intentionally shoves into Ricky Baker at a local street racing gathering, which provokes his older brother and opposing Crips member, Darrin "Doughboy" Baker, to step in and confront Ferris and his gang. After a brief confrontation between the two with Doughboy brandishing a handgun, they leave, but not before Ferris opens fire in the air with his own weapon, a MAC-10 submachine gun, causing everyone to leave.
Later on, they are seen circling around Doughboy's street, but not before they drove off. After Ricky gets into a fight against his own brother, both he and Tre leave, with Ferris setting his sights on him, thus engaging pursuit. After Ricky spots the gang, he tries to escape, but is shot in the leg, and then on his back, killing him.
Doughboy arrived too late and had no choice but to haul his brother's lifeless body back home, soon met with serious anguish when Brenda and Shanice see Ricky's corpse, with Brenda blaming Doughboy for his death. Distraught, Doughboy vows vengeance and they drive over to find Ferris, though not before dropping Tre off for him to walk back to his home. Soon enough, Ferris, upon spotting Doughboy's car, makes a run for it, but were soon gunned down by Monster, armed with an AK-47. An angered Doughboy approaches a mortally-wounded Ferris, who he then turns around, he curses at Doughboy before being executed, avenging Ricky's death.
It is also noted that Ferris had a girlfriend, whom he mentions in his final conversation, expressing his plans to visit her after the meal with his two thugs, only minutes before being killed.
Personality[]
Aside from being obviously thuggish, Ferris is also an intimidating figure, especially when confronting Tre for the first time, with one of his men brandishing a double-barreled shotgun pointed at him. He also expresses joy in causing trouble, even firing a MAC-10 in the air to show intimidation. He seems to be very prideful, vengeful, ill-tempered, and even petty, as his reason for killing Ricky and trying to kill Tre stems solely from Doughboy insulting him the previous night. However, Ferris is also cowardly as evidenced when spotting a vengeful Doughboy with his car, with both Ferris and his goons having gunned down before Doughboy finished the job.
Trivia[]
