Beverly Johnson is the posthumous overarching protagonist of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. She is the mother of main protagonist Carl Johnson, his older brother Sweet, their youngest sister Kendl, and their youngest brother Brian. Corrupt C.R.A.S.H. officers Frank Tenpenny and Eddie Pulaski would order the hit on her oldest son Sweet sending some Ballas in a green Sabre to the Grove and they shot up her house thinking Sweet was inside but instead, Beverly was killed. This event is the primary catalyst that triggers the events of the game.
Early Life[]
Beverly raised her family in a house located on Grove Street, Ganton, Los Santos. The family lived in the house through the 1960s but it's possible they lived there longer than that.
She lost her youngest son Brian in a gang-related shooting and Sweet blamed Carl for allowing it to happen. This would make him move cross-country to Liberty City. Beverly sadly lost both her sons that day.
She, like Sweet and Carl, was associated with the Grove Street Families through Sweet leading the gang. The Families had control over Ganton which was the area the Johnsons lived in. It's unknown if she participated any gang activity.
Dialogue in-game with Sweet and Carl suggests Beverly never again spoke to Carl after he departed from Los Santos.
Sometime between '87 and '92 she had to get an operation and Sweet managed to pay by robbing people.
Death[]
In 1992, corrupt C.R.A.S.H. officers Tenpenny and Pulaski put a hit on Sweet just because he refused to sell drugs. They sent some Ballas in a green Sabre to the Grove and shot up Beverly's house thinking they got Sweet but Beverly was instead killed inside the house. Sweet and Kendl ran to the house heartbroken over what happened to their mother. Sweet had to hold Kendl back from entering in the house. He then called up Carl and told him the news. Eventually, corrupt C.R.A.S.H. officers including Tenpenny and Pulaski arrived to Grove Street to investigate. Pulaski mentioned to Carl in mission 89 'High Noon' that her face was hanging off and they started touching her corpse in a sexual manner.
Beverly's death brings Carl back after 5 years in the east coast reuniting with his family and friends Ryder and Big Smoke. The brothers swore to find and kill their mother's killer and they succeeded through the game's storyline.
Trivia[]
- Big Smoke had some giveaway moments in the game that connect him to Beverly's death, such as:
- Throwing the bat he had in his hands on top of the picture.
- Quickly rushing the Johnson brother's conversation about her to get to the food.
