Covering “Ghettosides” in South L.A.
In 2006, journalist Jill Leovy started a blog called “The Homicide Report.” Her goal was to document every murder committed in L.A. County — all 1,000 of them. She spent two years embedded with homicide detectives, talking with victim’s families, witnesses and suspects. Now Leovy talks about her book, “Ghettoside: A True Story of Murder in America.”
