Turning his focus to the future, Mr. Rico has outlined an expansive set of plans. He intends to develop his flight school, particularly the skydiving section.

Following his resignation, the Department of Justice released an official statement.

“The DOJ would like to recognize the effort and diligence the now former District Attorney, Cuba Rico, applied to his role. Mr. Rico represented the State of San Andreas as a Criminal prosecutor but also managed the personnel in his department. He mentored and provided them with ample opportunities for personal growth. He was instrumental in his role as a sounding board for policy changes and improvements in the manner in which the LEO community performs reporting and evidence management.”
