Paparazzi Purge is a mission in Grand Theft Auto III given to protagonist Claude by Yakuza co-leader Asuka Kasen from her condominium located in the Newport district of Staunton Island, Liberty City.
Mission[]
Claude drops by Asuka's condo and finds a letter left by Asuka saying that a reporter has been spying on them and that she and Maria have taken a little holiday together until he is dealt with. Informed that the reporter is on the bay, Claude goes down to the marina, where he steals a police boat and starts chasing the target, as well as attacking him with the Predator's machine guns.
The reporter will circle around Portland, before coming back to the same marina. If he is not killed by this point, he will disembark, run up the stairs and steal a Stallion, prompting a chase. He will drive around randomly until he is killed by Claude, completing the mission.

Trivia[]
- The player doesn't need to steal the police boat and use it to destroy the reporter's boat to finish the mission; instead, if the player has a sniper rifle, they can use it to destroy the boat. This method cannot be used on some versions of the game, including The Definitive Edition, as the sniper rifle does less damage to the boat, and the mission will fail due to his escaping before the boat can be sniped to destruction.
