Newton, 3rd in 3 days

South-Central Los Angeles: Freddie Castro, 21, a Latino man, was shot at about 7:40 p.m. on Monday, June 18, at 4041 Morgan Ave. in LAPD's Newton Division. Another Latino man was wounded in the shooting but is expected to survive. Drive-by shooters surprised the pair, who were on foot. The killing was the third in LAPD's Newton Division in three days.

I lived in South Central Los Angeles from 1996-2003. I was never shot. Crime seems to be out of control these days in the city of Angels? What can people do to prevent crime I wonder? Or is it just media reporting crime and not focusing on real news?
