A robbery gone wrong has riled up an otherwise quiet night after Robert “The Turk” Schmidt, an alleged soldier in the East Los Santos mob, was murdered in Mirror Park on Tuesday morning.


At around 01:00 AM on Tuesday, shots were fired in the alleyway behind American Cuts & Trims on the crossing of East Mirror Drive and Mirror Park Boulevard. Nearby police responded to the scene and found the lifeless body of Robert Schmidt, 47, on the stairway leading up to a backstreet apartment. Bystanders described the scene as gruesome and gory.

 

Fleeing from the scene was Anthony O’Mara, a known loan shark in the East Vinewood—Mirror Park area, who is suspected of involvement in the murder of Schmidt. O’Mara was arrested, however those who caught a glimpse of the scene reported that the perpetrators had arrived in a black sedan and with screeching tires, and departed in the same manner. Locals reported that the apartment itself was regularly used for backroom gambling such as poker.

 

Schmidt, a reputed member of East Los Santos’ organized crime scene, was considered a loyal soldier in the MacArthur crime family in the 2000s and ran a profitable operation involving vending machines, though most of his criminal activities had dried up at the turn of the decade. Most of his former crew were arrested and indicted for racketeering and violent crimes. Schmidt developed an alcohol problem and had gone off-road since then and was allegedly in debt for over $50,000, a number that continued to rise throughout his gambling ventures. 

 

O’Mara has denied any involvement in the murder and has instead described the night’s events as a robbery gone wrong. “We played some cards with a few friends like we do every week,” he said, and claimed the perpetrators arrived and forcefully took their evening’s winnings. However, with the recent release of two top dogs in Schmidt’s old criminal circles and an increase in mob activity in East LS, police have indicated the murder may be some sort of spring cleaning in the underworld—despite the lack of any direct evidence for such claims.
