Autocide is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City given to protagonist Tommy Vercetti by Mr. Black from a public payphone outside the Washington Mall in Washington Beach, Vice City.

Mission

Tommy Vercetti receives a phone call at a public payphone outside the Washington Mall and receives instructions from Mr. Black to kill members of a European gang, currently undercover in the city, before they rob a bank. Vercetti then locates and kills Mike Griffin, who is working as a builder on a billboard outside the Washington Mall. Vercetti then locates and kills Dick Tanner, who is working as a security guard for DBP Security. Vercetti then locates and kills Marcus Hammond and Franco Carter, who are working as carpenters and are located in a Bobcat close to the Jewellery Store in Vice Point. Vercetti then locates and kills Nick Kong, who is posing as a tourist on a boat close to Avery Carrington's construction site.
