Friday the 13th[]
Rico was a tall, muscular Puerto Rican man with multiple tattoos across his body. He was the lover of a black woman named Alisha Jackson, and both of them worked as camp counselors at Camp Crystal Lake. Rico and Alisha were having sex in one of the cabins when he noticed two of his co-workers, Jerry White & Nate Hobbs spying on them through the window. Rico flew into a rage and ran naked out of the cabin in pursuit of them. (Friday the 13th 2) Rico later demonstrated even more aggressive anger management issues, when he got into a physical altercation with Brian Evans and Ryan on the roof of a barn. The fight resulted in all three falling off the roof into a pile of hay. (Friday the 13th 3) Later, a panic-stricken Sally Thomas approached Rico, Alisha, and the other counselors, telling them that Jason Voorhees had killed her friend Mike Burns. They also found Jerry and Nate's heads in Mike's jeep. The group began running around the camp site either looking for a way to leave, or seeking a way to survive being hunted by Jason Voorhees. Rico and Alisha made it to Mike's jeep. Jason appeared and disembowled Alicia with his machete. Immediately afterward, he did the same to Rico. Holding his own guts in his hands, he managed to crawl over to Alicia's corpse and then died. (Friday the 13th 6)
