History
The only real major event that took place in Harwood was the Harwood Slaughter of 1971. Here, notable Forelli Family hitman, Tommy Vercetti, was sent to assassinate a rival gang member. However, Tommy was set up by his boss, Sonny Forelli, and a group of hitmen arrived to kill him. Tommy, however, shot his way out of the ambush, killing all 11 enemies. After being arrested during his getaway drive, he was sentenced to 15 years in Liberty City Prison for 11 counts of homicide, and received the alias "The Harwood Butcher" as a result.
In 1998, during the events of GTA Liberty City Stories , Joseph Daniel O'Toole after changing sides from the Sindacco Family into a Leone Family member, is lured to be "made" shortly after the slaughter of the Sindaccos out of Portland, in a ceremony at Harwood. However, it turned out to be a trap and Leone made man, Mickey Hamfists killed O'Toole.
