Claude went into hiding after killing catalina because The cartel and most other gangs of Liberty City hate him and shoot on sight.

CJ and the Grove Street Families annihilated the Ballas and Vagos during the Los Santos riots, so he's also kicking ass, and now rules San Andreas.
Toni becomes the new Don of the Leone's when Salvatore got killed, and he orders the remaining Leone members to try and kill Claude to avenge Salvatore.
Victor Vance was killed in the early cutscenes of Vice City, and Tommy killed Lance, so they are finished.
