What happens in the opening scene of the investigation?
It was February 23rd, 2021, when a series of police SUVs pulled up in the alley behind an apartment complex in Compton. The sun had only just started to rise, casting this piercing neon glow over the buildings. An officer with the L.A. County Sheriff's Department stepped out from one of the Ford Expeditions and put on a white face mask. He walked past the dumpsters and through this narrow, gated walkway. It led to the apartment complex. Sneakers dangled from a telephone wire overhead. There on the dead grass between two buildings was this blue and gray patterned rug. It was big, five feet wide by eight feet long. And from a few steps back, it was hard to tell that there was anything underneath it.
As the officer got closer, he put on a pair of blue latex gloves. He lifted up a corner of the rug. And there beneath it was the body.
Do you have a 245?
You're gonna have a 245. Hey, start taping it off.
You're gonna have a 245, he said. Police code for assault with a deadly weapon. Officers started cordoning off the area with yellow tape. They wrapped it around palm trees and around the metal bars over apartment windows and around the basketball hoop on the concrete walkway. The apartment complex had become a crime scene. Tenants began to wake up and mill about that morning, and officers shooed them away.
Oh, can't cross here right now, sorry. Yeah, you gotta go that way. No.
The Compton Fire Department showed up next. One of the firefighters wore a blue hoodie over his uniform and carried a defibrillator. Even he was spooked by what he saw when he approached the body. Oh, shit, he said. And then he wondered aloud what had happened. Did he get shot? Did he fall? A female officer in a khaki uniform stood next to him.
