Some dirty cops blackmail CJ under the threat of framing him for a recent cop’s murder. Tragically, she was a casualty in a fatal drive-by shooting. From the crack epidemic and gang wars to the relations with the cops, the infamous riots had a strong influence on the game.ĬJ’s story begins as he returns to Los Santos following the death of his mother.
