The Colony Island Shootout

The Colony Island Shootout was a fictional small-scale shootout that took place between criminal Joel Wallace and the corrupted division of the Liberty City Police Department, who were sent there to assassinate Wallace. It took place at the cemetery on Colony Island in Liberty City around February of 2017.
== Description ==
Around February of 2017, Joel Wallace, having recently gotten into conflict with the Commission of Liberty City, had decided to relocate back to Los Santos permanently, but before he would leave, he wanted to visit his father Joshua and his brother Luke’s graves at the Colony Island Cemetery. While saying his goodbyes, the Commission had sent the corrupted officers of the Liberty City Police Department who were on their payroll to intercept and murder Joel.
=== Conflict ===
In the middle of saying his goodbyes, the corrupt LCPD officers arrived on site to murder Joel. He quickly retaliated and took cover behind one of the mausoleums. After fighting his way through the cemetery, Joel attempted to run off of Colony Island, only to be intercepted. Joel quickly dispatched the pursuers and ran towards the nearby dockside warehouse, hoping to find some way of escaping. Realizing there isn’t a lot of ways to escape except to swim across the Humboldt River, Joel took position inside the warehouse office and fended off as many cops as possible. After getting an open window, Joel quickly ran out the back and swam across the river all the way into Broker.
=== The Aftermath ===
Joel managed to escape Liberty City and flew back to Los Santos, where he would remain permanently. The Commission eventually gave up their hunt due to Wallace being out of their jurisdiction, but would ensure that returning to Liberty would mean certain death.
