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.

I knew him he was my friend...he was.a kind man...a good father...n a good neighbor....he always greeted him with a smile n knotted back as u pass by...he always shown tough because being in that kind of neighboorhood u gotta show toughness..sorrounded by 2 distinct gangs...
That market was in the border line...he always had people around.either to talk to him or just to stand around...but that tragic night, became lonely nights now
Till this time we don't know what happen or who did it...n we r prayin that the people who did this will come thru...cause at they end they will pay for their prize.
