What we know

In An Extended Look, Rockstar doesn't put a rank or a first name on screen for Méndez, at least none that the subtitles pick up, and we haven't seen one in any other source. Around 4:56 and 5:05 someone chews out his own people for failing to handle a bunch of dealers, then orders the place cleaned up. The transcript only covers what's said, so it doesn't prove who's speaking. At 5:14 Méndez's name comes up and someone asks whether he spotted them; the answer is "no, no way". We can't confirm it. He is named as someone they don't want to run into; that is our reading of that line. Raymond is caught up in the raid: the transcript has him named between 2:21 and 3:52. Engadget describes the setting as a run-down apartment complex, without naming the place.

Where it's been seen

In the still attached to the entry, Méndez is shown in profile in a dark interior with green-tinted light. He wears safety glasses, a coiled-cable earpiece, a black tactical vest over a white pinstriped shirt, a goatee, a mustache and some gray at the temple. Behind him stands a bald man in a green top, blurred. There are patches on the vest but none of them is legible, so no badge or rank shows. The exact moment of the still isn't recorded; what is said comes from An Extended Look.

What nobody knows yet

• ?What rank does Méndez hold, and does the game ever put it on screen?
• ?Does he show up beyond this mission, or is he a one-scene antagonist?
• ?Does his line about cops protecting each other from Trailer 2 belong to this same character?
