Biography[]
Currie is known to have had a wife and a child around the early 2000s. Prior to this, Officer Currie had set up a deal with Yvonne "Vee" Parker, whereby he would arrest rival drug gangs to eliminate Vee's competition in exchange for money.
One afternoon, Vee prepares Currie food. During this time, he tells Vee he saw her foster child RJ seemingly setting up a new drug gang. This concerns Vee, who seduces RJ. After they finish having sex, she sends him to the store. She then tells Officer Currie to encounter RJ. He stops him, and tells him "catch" whilst throwing a gun at him. Officer Currie shoots RJ, and has his death covered as self-defence.
It is unknown what happened to Officer Currie after this, but based on the fact RJ's murder was treated as self-defence, it is unlikely Officer Currie faced any repercussions from this.
Victims[]
- RJ - shot, staged death as self-defence on Vee's orders after he was thought to be starting a rival drug ring.
