Ricky was a hired gun for Summerhouse gang leaders Dushane Hill and Gerard "Sully" Sullivan, along with Jamaal Green and Gerry. The three accompanied Sully in his mission to track down members of the rival London Fields gang, especially de facto leaders Jamie Tovell and Kit.
Jamaal is mistaken for Sully and killed when youths alert London Fields of the group's location. The remaining three, along with Dushane and Dris Wright, plan to ambush the gang at a safehouse. Recently-escaped convict and founding member of the London Fields gang Morris "Modie" Gregory, along with Jamie, and Sully's estranged cousin Jermaine Newton (also Modie's brother-in-law) storm the safehouse to assassinate Dushane and Sully. During the firefight, Ricky and Gerry are shot to death by Modie and Jermaine.
