  You can see the location and details of each 2009 homicide (to November) on Richmond Confidential's homicide map: http://richmondconfidential.org/2009/11/09/city-has-recorded-45-homicides-to-date/ I do agree, though, that it would be best to have all of the information on one map. #

This article includes your department's view on a possible gang injunction. The constitutionality of gang injunctions is an ongoing issue. I'd be happy to provide you with the same Q&A forum if you'd like to elaborate on why you think a gang injunction may be beneficial to Richmond and speak to concerns about how it may affect Richmond residents.
