LA Homicides have dropped to near 1970 levels according to this Associated Press story. Part of the drop has been attributed to an LAPD gang-intervention program utilizing former gang members.

Sex Offender Melvin Jones was sentenced to 50 years in prison after pleading guilty to stabbing an eleven-year-old boy to death last year, as reported by Baltimore Sun reporter Julie Bykowicz. Jones, who was previously convicted for molesting another boy for more than a year, met his next victim's family shortly after his release from prison in 2002. Irvin Harris was an A student who played Pop Warner football. His body was found behind a church with 14 stab wounds in the chest and several on his arms and hands, indicating that the boy fought for his life.
