Gabriel Veunte

Gabriel Veunte is a minor character and is a drug lord who heads the Veunte Cartel.

Background
Gabriel Veunte grew up in Colombia and was a major figure in the drug world whose power extends throughout internationally as he and his cartel control the drug trades in the United States and Mexico. The cartel entered a partnership with the Sanchez family in order for them to act as the middle-men in the operation as they couldn't produce cocaine in Mexico, so they had to rely on the Colombians. Gabriel only allowed the Sanchezes a small cut of the profit.

War with Nacho Sanchez
Gabriel and the Veunte Cartel started expanding into Los Angeles County, California, United States where he worked alongside Nacho Sanchez's crew and the Outback MC. When the Hong Kong Triads seek a business partnership during their expansion into America, Nacho was denied this and launched a war between himself and any gangs within the county that was competition, hoping that Nacho would leave himself as the only available partner to the triads. After Nacho destroyed the Baker family's home, attacked the Outback MC's headquarters to kill its leader Roberto Hockstetter to rob them and stolen from the Hombres en Marron and Big Fucking Gunz gangs during their deal, he decides to end Gabriel's control as well and put himself and his crew the forefront organized criminality in the region.

Accompanied by his gang, Nacho travels to Gabriel's yacht where he is partying with his cartel members and invited guests. They attack the yacht and this leads to Nacho confronting a shaken Gabriel with a shotgun, who is shocked by Nacho's actions and questions his intentions. Nacho tells Gabriel that he is taking over the county and that he is now out of business. Gabriel tries to convince Nacho otherwise and that going back to the way things were is not too late, saying that he will be greenlit if he kills him. Nacho feigns accepting Gabriel's deal only to say he's joking unexpectedly and shoots Gabriel in the face with sadistic glee, causing a shrapnel of his skull to go into Nacho's lieutenant, Sebastian Bolsa, unintentionally. Nacho and his crew ransack the yacht for cocaine and leave the massacre they created at sea.
