John "Johnny Spaz" Barbosa is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series, appearing as a minor character in Grand Theft Auto IV.

History[]

Background[]

Barbosa was a 25-year-old Enforcer to the Pegorino Family, led by James Pegorino. He was the youngest Enforcer in the gang and his nickname is 'Johnny Spaz'.

Barbosa had resided in Alderney City, Alderney. He is close friends with Luca Silvestri, working alongside him and Joe DiLeo for Ray Boccino.

Events of Grand Theft Auto IV[]

Barbosa, along with the other members of his sub-crew (Luca Silvestri and Joseph DiLeo), was introduced in the Grand Theft Auto IV mission Taking in the Trash in which Ray sends Niko Bellic to assist them in picking up the Diamonds that Johnny Klebitz left in two Algonquin trash bags in the The Lost and Damned mission Diamonds in the Rough (which took place at the same time as the The Ballad of Gay Tony mission Frosting on the Cake). The foursome were ambushed by unidentified attackers (potentially Gay Tony associates), but escaped. After escaping, Barbosa, along with the other members, betrayed Boccino and Bellic by taking the money for themselves; but Niko killed them and reclaimed the Diamonds for Ray.
