Synopsis: On June 3, 2020, LAPD Officer Nathaniel Beck, assigned to the Community Safety Partnership, fired five shots toward partygoers at a South Central block party. One bullet hit a man in the face. LAPD never disclosed Beck’s CSP assignment. Detectives then used a search warrant to investigate a shooting victim and never returned it to the court, leaving no public record. The Blue Hand, by Ben Camacho and Jayrol San Jose, follows what happened after the gunfire stopped.
