Tariq St Patrick (played by Michael Rainey Jr) was revealed to the one who snuck into Truth to take out Ghost (Omari Hardwick). The father and son were at loggerheads for a long time, however, when Ghost asked Tariq to turn himself in for Ray Ray’s death, the teen thought there was no other choice but to kill his own dad. Ghost was seen lying on the floor bleeding out as his close friend Tommy Egan (Joseph Sikora) held him in his arms. But could it all have been part of a big plan to fake Ghost’s death?
One fan is certain Ghost knew what Tariq wanted to shoot him and took steps to stop him from killing him.
Fans know Tariq hid a gun given to him by Dre in Truth so he could retrieve it later after Ghost’s party.
But one viewer believes Ghost swapped the loaded gun planted by Tariq for his own weapon loaded with blanks.
They explained this could have been done when Ghost does his nightly inspection of Truth before every event.

This is why Tasha (Naturi Naughton) warned Tarig to go back to Truth to collect the hidden gun before Ghost found it.
The fan is certain Ghost would have replaced the bullets with fake 9mm bullets which aren’t fatal but will convince Tariq he has murdered his father.
As a result, when Tariq went back to retrieve his gun, he picked up the one Ghost had planted during his inspection.
Ghost’s gun looks different to the one Tariq used – Ghost’s had a silver mark on the side of it whilst the one Tariq hid was all black.
The fan believes this is why Ghost was waiting on the balcony in Truth after he switched off all of the lights – so he could see if Tariq really would try to kill him.
When they came face-to-face, Tariq can be seen taking out the gun Ghost planted with the hopeful Lieutenant Governor not even flinching when his son went to shoot.
Due to changing the bullets, Ghost knew there wouldn’t be any serious damage other than his fall from the balcony.

So could Tariq have been deceived by his own father?
It’s worth noting Ghost’s body wasn’t seen after he was seen bleeding out on the floor of Truth.
There was no autopsy, no funeral and no one was asked to identify Ghost’s body.
So it was possible for Ghost to have faked his shooting before fleeing New York to start a new life without any of the drama.
