Yahoo! Picks - bringing you the best of the Web since 1995

One week ago in Los Angeles, a Latino man was gunned down on Marconi Street, a black man was shot on East 88th, and a third male (race undisclosed) collapsed in a West L.A. apartment lobby, dying shortly thereafter to the paramedics' mystification. Welcome to the City of Angels, where the sun shines, the surf rolls up, and the L.A. County Coroner's office releases a weekly list of citizens who have been murdered by their fellow residents. In an effort to overcome "selectivity in homicide coverage," the L.A. Times has launched The Homicide Report, a remarkable and moving collection of the coroner's list, victim profiles, background on cold cases, and details on new homicides whose details remain "sketchy." Forget the TV shows and movies. This is the real thing.
