Midsummer LA murders show stark contrast to Simpson case
Los Angeles grapples with Denise Jones's killing in Watts as national focus stays fixed on O J Simpson. Despite 266 homicides this year, Jones's death drew little media attention. Detectives canvassed the area, posted fliers, and await witnesses, while experts note LAPD clearance rates have declined with rising homicide numbers. Jones, 33, is the mother of four who had a troubled past and was shot seven times in a Watts sidewalk incident.
