Omar Devone Little is a fictional character on the HBO drama series The Wire, portrayed by Michael K. Williams. He is a notorious Baltimore stick-up man, frequently robbing street-level drug dealers. He is legendary around Baltimore for his characteristic duster (under which is hidden his trademark shotgun), bulletproof vest, facial scar, and habit of hauntingly whistling "The Farmer in the Dell" when stalking the streets. When people see or hear him approaching, they run away and will often warn others by shouting "Omar comin'!" Omar is popular with viewers for his strict moral code, which involves refusal to harm innocent people or use profanity (which sets him apart from most other street-level players), and his homosexuality and privately tender nature, held in obvious contrast from typical notions of masculinity attached to violent criminals.
