A new book called Ghettoside focuses on the mostly unnoticed Black gang-related homicides in L.A. The AP reports: Reporter Jill Leovys riveting account of a relentless homicide detectives investigation of a senseless 2007 killing in Watts in which a gentle and good-natured 18-year-old was gunned down after being mistaken for a target in a gang rivalry. Ghettoside, a term picked up by police from a Watts gang member to describe his neighborhood, embraces both the locale of the violence and the culture and mind-set that impedes police from bringing killers to justice. Terrified witnesses who cooperate with investigators are labeled as snitches and often are subject to intimidation and fear for their lives. The hero of Ghettoside, veteran detective John Skaggs, cut his teeth during the Big Years of the early 1990s, when the number of killings was far higher than it is today. His people skills, ability to detect lies, and knowledge of the folkways of the ghetto serve him well as he works to nab the killer of Bryant Tennelle.
