Theory: The face on Uncle Jack's door is Red Dead's Everett Morgan

The claimUnconfirmed

At about 1:17 in Trailer 1, as Jason and Lucia push through the door of Uncle Jack's Liquors, a large line-drawn face is stuck to the glass: long hair, heavy brows and a thick, drooping moustache. Within two weeks of the trailer, a Reddit user posting as elnathh set it next to the wanted poster for Everett Morgan, a bounty target in Red Dead Online, and the comparison spread through GTA news sites.

How it holds upUnconfirmed

The moustache and hair are a genuinely close match, and Rockstar does cross-reference its own games. But the sticker sits on a store called Uncle Jack's, and a face on the door of a shop named after a person is most naturally read as the owner or mascot. Everett Morgan is also a minor character. Rockstar hasn't said anything, so this stays a theory.
