A lot of these deaths may be gang related. There is a "No Snitch" program that encourages people not to come forward with info about crimes such as these. If a person rats on a gang member the gangs often retaliate by killing a family member. Sad situation.

This is a really good article. And being that I'm from the bay area California I can relate to this article in alot of ways. The police always ask people to come forward and help participate in solving crimes, but then they don't protect the ones that come forward. Police honestly fail to understand that retaliation is for certain in situations like that.
