Los Santos Meteor Newspaper
''"Police are scratching their heads as to what caused a violent shootout in Puerto Del Sol yesterday that left several gang members dead. The recent rise in gang crime continues unabated. An alley off Magellan Avenue in Vespucci Beach was turned into a war zone and the battle then spilled out onto the surrounding streets. Police are uncertain if this means drug wars between Hispanic gangs have reignited, or if this was simply a deal or an altercation gone wrong. The Vagos are known to have long-term turf wars both internally and with the city's other major street gangs, including the Aztecas who have been largely forced out of Los Santos into Blaine County, the Ballas and the Families. No one is clear on what caused this massacre, with LSPD spokesman Lee Whitless stating "We are desperately searching for someone to blame. We haven't found anyone yet, so we are probably going to try to say something silly like "it's the fault of junk food or pollution", simply for something to say."''

''A quiet cul-de-sac erupted in gang violence as a bloody massacre left several Vagos gang members dead. A trail of devastation and no clear idea what happened or why. Police don't know if this means drug wars between hispanic gangs have reignited, or, if this was simply a deal or an altercation gone terribly wrong. ''

Trivia

 * A part of this mission was seen in the gameplay trailer. Around 0:40 to 0:46, behind Franklin was a photo of Simeon hanging from the wall, as Employee of the Month. But in-game, Franklin was rewarded as Employee of the Month. The possible reason for this was so that Rockstar wouldn't show any spoilers, revealing Franklin as Employee of the Month. But in Simeon Yeterian's random event, Simeon's Employee of the Month photo will be hanging on the wall.
 * The scene with Franklin and Lamar at the Car Wash was also shown in the gameplay trailer.
 * The Vago who bought the bike can be spared by shooting him off his bike before he drives away. He seems to have higher health than the other gang members so this could even be performed with a shotgun.
 * Sometimes shooting the gas will not award the player with the "trail blazer" gold medal requirement, effectively making this mission impossible to recieve a gold medal on.
 * After the mission Complications, Franklin can find the Bagger at his safehouse.
 * At the beginning of the mission Lamar will talk about Franklin's haircut. It also happens on The Long Stretch if Franklin didn't get a haircut.
 * An internet news article from Los Santos Meteor after this mission, says that Lifeinvader is going to "make history again with a new product launch this week", which means that the events of this mission and Friend Request happens in the same in-game week.
