8-Ball burns his hands during the ambush and is unable to escape, telling Mike to do so before the police arrive.

8-Ball later meets Mike again in a diner, but the two are ambushed by the Colombian Cartel, who are looking to kill Mike following the death of leader Cisco. 8-Ball, with information from one of the prostitutes, sends Mike to meet a bartender, Jonnie. Following this, Mike helps to pimp out three women (including Misty) to 'high-rolling' clients, deliver a package to an angry customer, and extract revenge on Scorelli for 8-Ball. 8-Ball first has Mike dispose of Vinnie's body at the Harwood Autocrusher and Junkyard, as 'they don't ask questions'. Mike returns to 8-Ball following the death of Vinnie and agrees to work for him whilst 8-Ball investigates Vinnie's death, saying he has some ideas of who was responsible. In 2000, he helps old friend Vinnie by creating fake IDs that Mike collected. He established contacts with various people in Liberty City, including businessman Donald Love, who sent Toni Cipriani to 8-Ball at his Pike Creek garage to fill a van full of explosives to be used to destroy the Fort Staunton district of Staunton Island.

By 1984, he started his business across the United States, including in Vice City (initially in Downtown and later in Viceport), in San Andreas (in El Corona, Los Santos) and in Liberty City (in Harwood, Newport and Pike Creek). His father was a hustler who often played pool, hence his nickname. 8-Ball was born and raised in Liberty City.
