Activity Overview
In "The OG," the FBI is investigating a series of gang killings. Don Eppes suspects that these killings are more than random acts of retaliation, so he asks for Charlie's assistance. Based on information about how the gang members are connected to each other, Charlie decides to create a mathematical network to model how information travels in the gang. From this model, he hopes to determine who may be the next victim and which gang member might be assisting the killers.
