5 people CJ surprisingly didn’t kill in GTA San Andreas

CJ doesn’t kill everyone who wronged him in GTA San Andreas.

He is surprisingly ruthless for a GTA protagonist, killing a good number of named characters who oppose him. If CJ doesn’t kill the character, chances are someone else will. Interestingly, this is part of the inspiration for this article.

Some of the characters listed below are important, but they are also characters that CJ doesn’t kill. He may be indirectly involved in their deaths, but he’s not the one pulling the trigger, so to speak. Sometimes the characters he intends to kill never die.



Five people in GTA San Andreas were not killed by Chief Justice.

#5 – Mike

Mike is a very supporting character in GTA San Andreas, whose sole purpose is to act as Salvatore Leon’s bodyguard. He doesn’t appear in any other GTA games, which would mean if he had to die in GTA San Andreas, that’s fine.

Surprisingly, the Chief Justice never killed Caligula for searching his palace. Mike appears in both the introduction and Freefall as nothing more than a background character, unrelated to the plot.

#4 – Officer Hernandez

The GTA series is home to several servants who end up being nothing more than fodder for the main character. Surprisingly, Officer Hernandez doesn’t end up as one of them, but is a character that clashes with Frank Tenpenny’s antics.

Predictably, this means CJ won’t kill him in the end. Jimmy Hernandez was instead killed by Eddie Pulaski (who happens to be the only member of CRASH to kill CJ directly).

#3 – Mike Torino

Given that Mike Torino later became a trusted ally of CJ’s, it is logical that he would eventually be killed by CJ. However, he debuted in GTA San Andreas as an antagonist associated with the Loco Syndicate.

There’s even a mission in which CJ believes he killed Mike Torn by shooting at a helicopter in GTA San Andreas. However, it is revealed that Torino was not on the flight and CJ never killed him.

This is a real change in GTA San Andreas, which is why it can be considered so surprising.

#2 – And location

In a way, OG Loc can be considered the Karma Houdini in GTA San Andreas. This makes Mad Dog’s life miserable and he escapes relatively unscathed. He returns the book of poems to Meadow Dog after a silly chase, but then disappears without a trace in GTA San Andreas.

Big Smoke was his manager and was eventually killed by CJ, so OG Loc is likely to get something special after finishing GTA San Andreas.

Given that the Chief Justice kills most of the opponents he faces, it is quite surprising that he…
