Biography

Oliver originally worked with Carlos Mendez, an associate of drug lord Esteban Calderone, before parting ways and going into business for himself. When Crockett and Tubbs learned of Calderone's hit list, they approached Oliver to inform him that his name was on it, offering him protection in return for his assistance in catching the man carrying out the hits. While Oliver (somewhat reluctantly) agreed and helped the Vice cops arrest the Mendez, he was subsequently killed by the real assassin -- Ludovici Armstrong -- in front of his apartment, making him the seventh of eight victims on Calderone's list.
