Background
Lyle Rivas was born in Puerto Rico around 1978 and lived in an apartment in Rotterdam Hill, Broker. A former Spanish Lords member who left the gang, he worked as a mechanic and fenced stolen cars, with connections to the illegal street racing scene. He was a dedicated bodybuilder and steroid user, a habit he shared with his friend Brucie Kibbutz. His cousin is Tom Rivas. His record lists grand theft auto, possession of stolen vehicles and reckless endangerment.
Events of Grand Theft Auto IV
Lyle owes Brucie money and fails to hand it over. In Search and Delete, Brucie sends Niko Bellic after both Rivas cousins. Niko tracks Lyle down and kills him after a chase; Lyle's final words show his shock that Brucie was serious. Once both cousins are dead, Niko realizes the killings were far out of proportion to the debt and largely the product of Brucie's steroid abuse. Lyle dies at 30.
