Grand Theft Auto IV[]
Manny was introduced to Niko Bellic through Mallorie, in which he hired Niko to kill a group of gangbangers in order to film it all to prove his dedication to the "streets". Soon after, Manny hires Niko to kill more and more gang members just to gain fame.
Some time later, Escuela and Hamilton visit Elizabeta in order to shoot more videos of Manny showing his love of the "streets" and his hatred for crime. Eventually, Manny finds out that Niko is there, in which Elizabeta kills Jay and Manny, by a shot to the head. Their bodies are sold to an organ dealer after their bodies are put into Elizabeta's trunk.
