For years the Los Angeles Times maintained a Homicide Report covering every homicide in LA County .

Location

Date

Cause of death

Name

Age

Race

Was there any police involvement

Some surprises

5% of homicides involving black victims had any police involvement. Police involvement covered everything from unjustified shooting or to an interrupted armed robbery and gunfight . Much more of the later.

10% of the homicides involving white victims had some police involvement.

With the new owners the Homicide Report was no longer updated
