In PEOPLE’s exclusive sneak peek, Lieutenant Bishop gathers her police force as she passes along important information about a recent shooting that left the squad “raw.”

“Listen up,” she says before passing out papers. “Gang’s just ID-ed Delgado’s shooter, Eddie Watson. He and the piece of s— driver Juan Cortes are still believed to be in the city, but likely trying to flee.”

As Traci reads the information with a concerned look on her face, Bishop informs the group that the shooter is a member of the “East Barrio clique, street name, Maniac. I’m not making that up.”

“Detectives are still trying to ID the female passenger. We think she’s a minor being trafficked, which could have been motive for the shooting,” she continues. “If you get eyes, any one of you, on either Watson or Cortez, you do not engage alone. Understood?”

The officers reply with a firm, “Yes, ma’am!” and Bishop gives her team a word of warning.
