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.

Risher was sitting in his parked car at 2:05 a.m. when three people walked up. At least one person shot him several times, witnesses told police. Risher was taken to a hospital, where he died a short time later, police said.
Detectives have no motive in the killing, though they said they think it could be gang-related.
Anyone with information about this killing is asked to call LAPD 77th Division Dets. Armando Bernal or Ernesto Mendoza at 213-485-1383
