US-CRIME-KOREATOWN
A bull’s eye is the target of multiple floors of golfers practicing their swings at a driving range in the trendy section of Koreatown on 01 November, 2006 in Los Angeles, California. 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.
