The Homicide Map has been updated. Go to right tab on top of the map to see the picture gallery.

The Homicide Report took a two-week break at the end of August, and missed at least 47 homicides as a result. HR is still catching up. The number is large but represents only a slight uptick in homicide compared to the rest of the year, not unusual for August.

Hit particularly hard in late August was LAPD Southwest (the police precinct around the University of Southern California) and LAPD Rampart (MacArthur Park), which has been mostly quiet this year but which saw two homicides in one day.
