Wowser:
The Times does its best to track homicides in L.A. County each week, using the coroner's weekly report as a starting point. We routinely inquire about cases that do not appear on that list that we have reported in print or on our blogs. We also try to reconcile police and sheriff's data with coroner's reports, which is how we learned of this homicide.
