"…Thinking of going out for some Korean barbecue? You might want to stay at home. At about late afternoon yesterday, gunfire erupted at the newly-opened Mr. Fuk's Rice Box at Chumash yesterday, turning several patrons vegan and injuring many more. Police say Merryweather Security was present during the events of the shooting, protecting well-known business mogul, Devin Weston. The supposed perpetrator, a lone gunman of possible African-American descent, was seen shooting through the bodyguards and last seen driving a sports car away on the freeway in the ensuing violence. All security personnel at the restaurant is believed to have been killed by gunfire. Minutes later, the body of Franklin Clinton, a Los Santos native, was found dead and completely unarmed along a cliff at the edge of Chiliad Mountain State Wilderness, and a Truffade Z-Type belonging to the late record producer Chad Mulligan was found heavily damaged along an escarpment near the site along with another abandoned sports car. The whereabouts of Devin Weston are as of yet unknown. The LSPD have yet to make a connection between the two events.

The LSPD has officially ruled out the cause of the explosion to be that of a faulty gas pipe leakage. A RON spokesperson has issued an official statement, declaring themselves to be void of any fault on their part and that the explosion was 'perhaps caused by getting high on bath salts and microwaving a plastic sex doll'.

The Speedo gently rolled up the hills in the lazy afternoon, stopping right in front of Franklin's home. Stepping out of the van, Lamar walked over to the back and opened the doors, taking out a box of clothes before casually making his way into the house. It had been two days since he heard the heartbreaking news that Franklin had bitten the dust, and Lamar was still trying to come to terms with his best friend's death.

Placing the box on the table, Lamar was immediately met with the sight of Chop, who barked jubilantly and ran up to his original owner. Kneeling down, he quickly petted the dog endearingly, giving him a bit of joy.

"Hey there, lil' nigga!" Said Lamar, feeding him a nearby dog treat by the table. "How you doin'?"

The dog quickly gave Lamar a sad look.

"Franklin ain't comin' back, dog." Said Lamar disappointingly. "It's sad shit that I don't wanna talk about right now."

Looking around the house with a new sense of wonder, Lamar stood back up and carefully inspected his surroundings, saying just one sentence to the Rottweiler.

"Chop? Time for the beginning of our new lives, homie."
