US-CRIME-KOREATOWN
Police tape is left on the ground near a car attacked by gunfire in a road-rage incident on 01 November, 2006 in the Koreatown section of Los Angeles, California. The driver and passenger, standing by the car, escaped with only minor injuries. A series of high-profile murders, including the recent shooting deaths of three people in a restaurant, has many Koreatown residents afraid to go out after dark and local businessmen fearing a negative effect on South Korean investors and tourists. So far this year, Koreatown homicides have jumped 40 percent as rapes increased 47 percent and robberies 11percent. Koreatown has been growing its trendy section of luxury condominiums, fancy restaurants and nightclubs, and exclusive stores since it was hard-hit by the 1992 Los Angeles riots and gangs persist in Koreatown and the surrounding areas.
