Biography[]
Wesley Rhoades was a young teenager who often bullied and tormented Michael, who was a couple of years his junior. He accused Michael's sister of being a prostitute and made fun of the fact that Michael's mother worked as a stripper.[1]
After teasing Michael of his plan to make copies of a Rabbit in Red Lounge ad that featured his mother, a fight broke out between them that also included Wesley's friend. The fight was soon broken by Principal Chambers and Wesley was forced to serve detention after class.[1]

After school, Michael ambushed him in the woods and brutally bludgeoned Wesley with a heavy tree branch before leaving him to die.[1]
