10 Hollywood Stars You Didn't Know Had Killed People

9. Felicia Pearson

Better known as simply "Snoop" from The Wire, Felicia "Snoop" Pearson is about as far from Hollywood as an actresses can get. Her character on HBO's The Wire has been christened "the most terrifying female villain to ever appear in a television series" by horror aficionado Stephen King himself. On the show, she portrayed one of the most ruthless killers in all of the Baltimore drug trade. Little did anybody know that her real life actually mirrored her on-screen persona. During the early '90s at the age of 14, she was convicted of second-degree murder in the shooting death of a girl named Okia Toomer and sentenced to two eight-year terms, to be served consecutively. She served a little over six years. She came home in the year 2000 and would eventually end up on the HBO show. She later wrote a memoir titled Grace After Midnight detailing her troubled childhood and time spent in prison.
