===Brief===
==Reward==
A European gang - the one that [[Carl Pearson]] worked for - is going to rob a bank, and Mr. Black doesn't want that to happen. Therefore, he wants you to kill each of the gangsters in the nine minutes before they pull off the heist.
The reward for completing the mission is [[Money|$]]4,000 and the mission [[Check Out At The Check In]] is unlocked, if the mission [[Shakedown (GTA VC)|Shakedown]] has also been completed.


===The Mission===
==Trivia==
For this mission you are provided with a (unique) white [[PCJ-600]], a sniper rifle, and an Uzi, which are waiting for you down the road from the telephone. There are six robbers you have to kill, here's who they are, where they are and how to neutralize them: Bear in mind that you have a time limit of nine minutes to kill them all, and if you don't make it you fail the mission of course.
* The name of this mission is likely a combination of the words "auto" and "homicide".
* The mission has a time limit of nine minutes, or nine in-game hours.
* A unique silver [[PCJ-600]] can be collected by the player after the mission starts, located next to a hedge on the way to [[Mike Griffin|Mike Griffin's]] location.
* The [[Securicar]] driven by Dick Tanner is super-heavy until the mission ends. To be able to drive it, the player has to snipe him out from a distance.
* The [[Bobcat]] driven by Marcus Hammond and Franco Carter in this mission has a unique black and metallic red paint job.
* The PCJ-600 driven by Charlie Dilson has a unique blue paint job.
* With the exception of Mike Griffin, all of the European gangsters in this mission have names referring to characters in rival sandbox games. [[Dick Tanner]] is a reference to Tanner from the [[:wp:Driver (series)|Driver series]], [[Marcus Hammond]], [[Franco Carter]] and [[Charlie Dilson]] are references to Mark Hammond, Frank Carter and Charlie Jolson from [[:wp:The Getaway (video game)|The Getaway]], and [[Nick Kong]] is a reference to Nicholas "Nick" Kang Williams from [[:wp:True Crime: Streets of LA|True Crime: Streets of LA]].
* Pedestrians with the same character models as Griffin, Tanner, Hammond, Carter, Kong and Dilson appear during free roam and throughout Vice City.
* Mike Griffin could be a reference to [[wp:Nick Griffin|Nick Griffin]], a British nationalist politician.
* Mike Griffin's name may also be a reference to the game [[:wp:Mace Griffin: Bounty Hunter|Mace Griffin: Bounty Hunter]].


1) '''[[Mike Griffin]]:''' Mike Griffin is working on a billboard in Vice Point. Drive to the blue target on the radar, get out your sniper rifle, aim at Griffin, and shoot him in the head. Easy.

* [[Autocide/Walkthrough|Mission walkthrough]]


2) '''[[Dick Tanner]]:''' Dick Tanner is working for [[DBP Security]], and he will be in an armored van; therefore, you will need a rocket launcher or an M60. Drive to the DBP Security central and pull out the [[rocket launcher]] (don't get too close: he'll try to drive away) and shoot him. If he drives out, just remember that when he gets out, he'll run for his life and ''then'' you can kill him. One could shoot him in the head through the windshield and it would be just as effective. This is a reference to the ''Driver'' series' protagonist, Tanner.

3) & 4) '''[[Marcus Hammond]] & [[Franco Carter]]:''' They work as carpenters and are outside the Vice Point Jewelery Store. You will need a sniper rifle. Park down the street from them and make sure that you are not too close; otherwise, they will run away. They are inside a [[Bobcat]]. Shoot the driver first- or at least a tire- and when the passenger gets out, shoot him as well.

5) '''[[Nick Kong]]:''' Nick Kong is on vacation on his yacht near Washington Beach. Drive over near the target and pull out the sniper rifle, aim at Kong who is on the yacht close to a house near [[Avery Carrington]]'s compound. This is an easy target (as long as you don't get blinded by bushes) so you should be able to snipe him.
6) '''[[Charlie Dilson]]:''' He is out riding his [[PCJ 600]] on Ocean Drive. You'll find him driving back and forth along the streets that run north and south in Washington and Ocean Beach. It should be quite simple to snipe him here. If you let him get too close he'll race off and you'll have to chase him on your bike. Doing a drive-by might be difficult, so one must be careful.
If you kill all of the gang members within the time limit, the mission is complete.
