Euphoria Season 3 Finale: Alamo Brown Killed in Duel After Rue’s Overdose
The Season 3 finale of “Euphoria,” titled “In God We Trust,” concludes with the death of Alamo Brown, played by Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, who is shot dead in a strip club duel. Earlier in the episode, Alamo kills Rue by giving her painkillers laced with fentanyl, knowing her addiction will likely cause her to take them. When Ali (Colman Domingo) discovers Rue’s overdose, he confronts Alamo at the Silver Slipper and initiates a duel. Alamo violates the agreed-upon rules by attempting to fire early, but his gun does not go off because his right-hand man Bishop (Darrell Britt-Gibson) had removed the bullets. Ali then shoots Alamo three times in the chest. In an interview, Akinnuoye-Agbaje explains Alamo’s motives, including his theatrical enjoyment of the kill and his use of Rue to recover incriminating evidence from Laurie’s house. The actor notes that while Alamo saw something of himself in Rue, her betrayal and his distrust ultimately led to her death.
