Who is Joey Leone?

Joey's father is Salvatore Leone, who heads the Leone family. Rather than climbing the family ranks, he sticks to smaller jobs and runs a car garage in Portland. GTA Wiki notes that his stepmother is Maria Latore.

In Grand Theft Auto III, released on PlayStation 2 in North America on 23 October 2001 according to Wikipedia, Joey is one of Claude's Mafia contacts. GTA Wiki lists these jobs:

The hit on Mike Forelli is part of the Leones' feud with the Forelli family, and the Chunky Lee Chong job is aimed at the Triads. Through Joey, Claude also meets Toni Cipriani. See GTA III missions for the full list.

What happens to Joey after Salvatore dies?

It is not known. GTA Wiki says Joey is last seen at the meeting Salvatore calls before the car-bomb plot, and the game never shows him again once Claude kills his father.

Is Joey in San Andreas or Liberty City Stories?

Only by name. GTA Wiki says he is mentioned in San Andreas, and that in Liberty City Stories Salvatore talks about wanting Joey to marry a classy woman and asks Toni to find good cars for him.
