Nathan’s family has made a website and put up pictures from a camera found after his death which they are seeking assistance in identifying the people and/ or help with information surrounding the days before his death. Some of the pictures were taken here in Venice on the boardwalk. Anyone with information about Nathan’s killing is asked to contact the family through their website or to call LAPD Pacific Division homicide detectives at (310) 482-6316.
