In GTA5, You play as an Italian Gang Leader, Tommy Vercetti (Depicted by Ray Loita's monologue) somewhere from 1989 - 2000 which given you're in San Andreas, my guess is 1992 after the events of the original game.
Tommy Vercetti has moved to Los Santos to relax after many years in Vice City to retire from his history of crime. However the local gangs don't like the sound of The Vercetti Gang's leader moving on to their turf and so a war begins which ultimately ends in his reputation being flattened and being beaten and psychologically tortured. They leave him left for dead and broke but Tommy who after months of recuperation and sheer will to never give up, climbs back to the top, exacting revenge on those who left his empire in shambles and killing nearly everyone he knew and loved.
With the help of his lovable sidekick, Cousin Mike who is making ends meet driving buses all day, help Tommy in becoming The King of Vinewood.
