Homicide's press conference was thoroughly non-enlightening. Does saying "we don't know anything" count as "addressed"? Does a steadily increasing homicide rate now gone off the charts count as a "spike"? They don't deserve all the blame. It will always be a lot harder for Homicide to clear cases when the department has never had a handle on the gang situation or on violent radicals. He should complain to whoever's been running the Criminal Interdiction Division. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/lmpd-detective-addresses-sharp-spike-in-violent-crime/ar-BB1873WC
