C.C. Baker is a violent, insecure young man who lives in Brewster Place. He is always hanging around with his friends and smoking marijuana near the apartment complex. Because he only knows how to relate to women sexually, he finds his neighbor Lorraine’s romantic disinterest in men threatening. One day, when he yells homophobic slurs at Lorraine, their neighbor Kiswana chastises and verbally humiliates him, leading him to vow revenge against Lorraine. He and his friends later ambush Lorraine in a dark alley on the north edge of Brewster Place and brutally rape her, an event that leads to Lorraine’s disoriented, traumatized murder of Ben.
