GTA 1 and 2 Era Character Deaths

The printable version is no longer supported and may have rendering errors. Please update your browser bookmarks and please use the default browser print function instead.

This is a list of deceased characters in the GTA 1/2 era. Deaths will appear in the most logical order. This list does not include unidentified civilians, police officers, or gang members, though it does include several unnamed characters who are the focus of a single mission, though not ones that are only the focus of one part of the mission (for example, in one early mission in GTA 1, the protagonist is tasked with assassinating the unnamed chief of police of Liberty City, but in a later mission, they are told to kill an unnamed cop at the end of the mission, so while the chief would be included on the list, the cop would not, though a more important character, such as Sonetti's lawyer, who appears at the end of a mission, would be listed).

The games are Grand Theft Auto (set in 1997), Grand Theft Auto: London 1969 and 1961, and Grand Theft Auto 2 (set in an unspecified, futuristic time).
