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.

It is disgusting to me that the people who posted comments only seem to care about this criminal and not the man whose life Mr. Leon and friends took earlier in that same day. This man was a drug dealer like his mother, his mother!!

i will respect gangsters when they dont need guns to fight. when they can be a man and fight with their fists. the only reason they think theyre tough is because of their weapons. without them theyre nothing.

This even more convinces me there is a God. That all the animals of the earth were given those inherent skills for the care of their own. Except for mankind. We have no reasoning skills to instinctively provide care and protection of our own. No more than one could expect from one human being towards another. Otherwise there wouldn't be so much dying at the hands of another in this world.
I believe That's why he created us last and gave us instructions.. the creatures didn't need any they were given those skills.
No...killers have never had any real nurturing or caring love to understand why it's so wrong to act so savagely and care less about taking someones life.
Take one look at society, many people are numb to the violence and fail to see that all people need is caring and love which is provided for some but lies so far away for others.
Rest in Paradise? Hell is filled to the brim with sinners that have no understanding of the harm they have done with their lifestyle.
