Your guide to the 'Upon Reflection' case in L.A. Noire. Follow Officer Cole Phelps and Ralph Dunn as they investigate a shooting and track down a suspect.
Alright, so you're diving into L.A. Noire and just picked up the 'Upon Reflection' case. This is your very first one as a Patrolman, so let's walk through it together. You'll be partnered up with Ralph Dunn, and your patrol car is Unit 14 Adam.
### Crime Scene
You'll get a call about a shooting at 6th and Industrial Street. When you arrive, Detective Floyd Rose from Homicide will brief you. The victim is Scooter Peyton, shot twice in the head. Rose mentions a witness saw a Caucasian male fleeing the scene after ditching the weapon. He's not too concerned about solving it, calling the victim a 'lowlife'.
As you search the alley, keep an eye out for clues. You'll find one of the game's readable newspapers on some crates to your right. At the end of the alley, look for a bloodstain on the door. That's your first clue, and it'll be logged in your notebook.

Head a bit to the left of the bloodstain, and you'll spot another clue: an open windowpane. Look through it, and you'll see the reflection of a gun on the rooftop of the building next door. Climb up there using the drainpipe you'll find around the corner.
On the roof, you'll find the weapon itself: a Smith & Wesson revolver, serial number S71893.

Dunn will want to just turn the gun in, but Cole wants to do a bit more digging. Ask Dunn about nearby gun stores; he'll point you to one just a couple of blocks away. Head back to your patrol car and set the gun store as your destination.
### Central Guns
At Central Guns, the owner will identify the gun as a Smith & Wesson Model 27. He'll tell you that these are special order items and show you his order book. Look for the gun with the serial number S71893. Bingo! It was sold to Errol Schroeder, who lives at 203 South Gless Street.
