Events of Grand Theft Auto V[]
Lester Crest, a major shareholder in the rival Fruit Computers, discovered records of Skinner's illegal transactions and decided to eliminate him in order to make a massive profit in the stock market, figuring his murder could easily be attributed to any of the many rivals he acquired over the course of his shady dealings. Lester hires Franklin Clinton to carry out the assassination, informing him that there is a prostitute that Jackson frequents on Fridays. Franklin spies on the prostitute in an alley on Mutiny Road in La Puerta and waits for Skinner to arrive, upon which he kills him.
