Jay Hamilton

Background

Jay Hamilton is Manny Escuela's cameraman in Grand Theft Auto IV. He follows Manny everywhere, filming footage for a documentary about Manny's supposed crusade against drugs in South Bohan.

Events of Grand Theft Auto IV

Jay is present for Manny's missions, filming Niko as he kills dealers in Escuela of the Streets and Street Sweeper, and Niko loses patience with the camera on more than one occasion. When the documentary is finished, Manny complains that Jay made him look bad.

Jay's job gets him killed. He accompanies Manny to Elizabeta Torres' apartment, hoping to film her, and the paranoid dealer shoots both of them. In Have a Heart Niko drives their bodies to a doctor who harvests organs. Niko can also dump the bodies in the river instead, but he will not be paid.
