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.

Raymond Davis, a 22-year-old black man, was fatally shot in the 6600 block of South Vermont Avenue about 12:30 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 9.
Davis, of Inglewood, was standing outside the Safari Bar when shots were fired, and one of the rounds hit him in the stomach. He was pronounced dead at a hospital. Witnesses said they saw a man leave the area, driving north on Vermont Avenue in a black vehicle.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Los Angeles Police Department's South Bureau homicide unit at (213) 485-1383; during non-business hours call (877) LAPD-24-7.

man, this is heavy. a few seconds before this shooting, i went into the jons market off kenmore and catalina which is only a few blocks down. by the time i bought my guava juice and came back out the block was being taped off and an ambulance was rushing away. i'm 23..... this hits close to home. i may have even seen this dude in his final minutes out of the corner of my eye as i crossed 3rd. 6th and vermont is in plain view from me.. RIP.
