The New Homicide Report

The Los Angeles TImes has a new updated version of their  Homicide Report which is now in a new interactive map format. You can type in your or address or zip code and it links you up to the latest homicides in that particular area. They feature descriptions/age of the victims along of cause of death. I personally read a lot of crime stats and keep up with the latest crime news so this new feature is useful. Here is an example of the latest report of homicides in San Pedro.

I  happen to know a few names on that list which is sad, but lets hope the crime statistics stay down. May all them souls rest in peace.
