The Death of an Infamous Thief is a GTA IV machinima that tells the story of Marcus “Shade” Reynolds, a notorious thief known across Liberty City for his cunning and ruthlessness. After a high-profile heist, Shade finds himself hunted not only by the police but also by former allies turned enemies, and the ghost of a former friend, Vincent “Vince” Cruz, whom he had betrayed. Afraid and cornered, Shade’s world unravels in a tense final confrontation in the city’s abandoned docks.
The machinima was originally uploaded to Alvin Soprano’s first YouTube channel, but became lost media when the channel was deleted. It is no longer available for streaming.
