On Monday, Jan. 25, 2010, The Times launched a new version of the Homicide Report. You have arrived at the old blog.
Readers can no longer post new comments on this site, but we encourage you to join the conversation on our new site. The updated Homicide Report features an interactive map and searchable database of the more than 2,600 homicides in L.A. County since January 2007, when Times' reporter Jill Leovy first started this blog with the goal of covering each one.
Comments prior to Jan. 26 will, at least for now, remain archived here, with links provided in the new database.
If you have any questions please feel free to e-mail homicidereport@latimes.com, and we will do our best to respond.

Compton: A Latino man was killed near the southwest corner of Wilmington Avenue and Cherry Street in Compton on Tuesday evening, June 5, at about 8:09 p.m. A black man between the ages of 20 and 23 pursued him on foot and shot him, according to sheriff's deputies. Investigators called the motive gang-related. They seek tips. (323) 890-5500.
I simply cannot believe anyone was murdered in Compton, of all places! What's the world coming to?
