Why was DL killed off in Heroes?

Hawkins (Leonard Roberts) was killed off in Heroes after Season 1 due to a combination of alleged on-set racial tension, a difficult working relationship with co-star Ali Larter, and a lack of Black writers, leading to Roberts' character being written out, though he later returned briefly to wrap up his arc, as detailed in a Variety essay by Roberts himself.
