Los Angeles, CA
Starting this week, on the L.A. Times Blog, crime reporter Jill Leovy will be covering the previous week's homicides as reported to the L.A. County Coroner. With the names they will be posting some information they've managed to pull together about the men and women appearing on the report.
This has been a long time coming and I'm glad the Times is doing this. We become numb to the daily tragedies that happen in this city, retreating into the comfort of statistics. So much easier to see a gang death as an easy label, than it is to see it for the truth; one more life snuffed out that could have been so much more.
