Cops: Beverly Hills

We need to hear from you.
Today during our spring member drive, put a dollar value on the trustworthy reporting you rely on all year long. The local news you read here every day is crafted for you, but right now, we need your help to keep it going. In these uncertain times, your support is even more important. We can't hold those in power accountable and uplift voices from the community without your partnership. Thank you.

Yesterday morning a pair of gray-haired exterior painters was attacked in Beverly Hills. The first one was attacked by a guy with a knife and his partner jumped in to help; the second painter was stabbed and killed. It is, of course, awful.

It's the first murder in Beverly Hills since 2001. And we can't help but wonder: could 2006 be the year for Beverly Hills Cop IV?
