Federal Reserve Heist[]
When Sal Marcano was planning to rob the Federal Reserve, Danny’s father Thomas were on board, hoping that it would score some favors with him and get him Pointe Verdun back as a territory. He insisted that Danny be involved, despite not doing this before. His role included him and Ellis getting their hands on a boat, which is used to haul a large industrial drill through the Underground Canals beneath the Reserve’s Vault. Once in place, they drill up through the vault floor, where Lincoln and Giorgi can drop the money.
After that things didn’t go off as planned. Lincoln and Giorgi were overwhelmed by the guards above, and Danny used some dynamite to make the hole bigger, giving his friends a way out. But the blast was too strong, and the whole vault came crashing down on top of them, injuring Danny's leg under the debris. Unable to walk, he was carried by the group while they made their escape. They eventually made it to French Ward, where they used a car provided by Sammy Robinson to escape.
Death[]
After the heist, the group went back to Sammy’s Bar to celebrate and divide up the haul. It wasn’t long before Sal Marcano and Giorgi showed up to join in the drinking and collect their cut. As the group drank about their new fortune, it wasn’t long until Giorgi suddenly pointed a gun at Lincoln and fired. He then turned to Danny firing a shot in his head, killing him instantly. The bar was then set on fire as the Marcanos left, burning Danny's body beyond recognition. Not able to view the body after his death, Thomas and Nicki were devastated. He was laid alongside his mother Sarah at Saint Agnes Catholic Church in Pointe Verdun.
