One bullet hit a man in the face. LAPD never disclosed Beck\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gIxtRFPi0LA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click here to watch the trailer \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/westsidestorytellers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Visit this Official Selection&#8217;s Instagram \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/westsidestorytellers.com\/blue-hand\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Visit the official website \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: SOFF<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2026 Official Selection: Featurette &#8211; Documentary An LAPD officer fired toward partygoers at a South Central block party.
