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.

Why don't you print the total number of homicides in LA county anymore?

The year to date number of homicides in L.A. county was generated by our Homicide Map, which had technical issues when we launched the redesign of latimes.com.
I will write a post today with the most recent number, as well as an explanation for how we calculate it.
