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.

Sergio Santiago, a 17-year-old Latino, was shot in the left side of his chest July 2 in the 17100 block of Coolwater Avenue in Palmdale, according to the Los Angeles County coroner's office.

Santiago, of Lancaster, was found shot in the street about 11 p.m. July 2, said Ed Winter, a spokesman for the coroner's office. Santiago was taken to the hospital after the shooting and underwent surgery to treat his wound, Winter said.

He was pronounced dead at 12:20 a.m. on July 3. Winter said authorities believe the shooting may have been gang-related.

It is so sad to see that this young man was shot and killed and I hope the killer pays for what he did

maby if people new the truth about the story they wouldnt think the guy who shot deserves to be prosicuted...IT WAS JUSTIFYABLE!!!! i dont think the killer should pay...the kid tryed to hit a girl in the head with a bat and his "homies" 10-15 of them tryed to jump the girl and two guys...so its there fault!!!!! JUSTIFYABLE
