(lapdonline.org) Wilmington sits at the southern edge of Los Angeles near the ports, and shootings there often fall into overlapping investigations handled by patrol officers, gang detectives and hospital notifications when victims reach emergency rooms before police reach a scene. LAPD’s public crime and CompStat pages say the department uses direct crime-data feeds and weekly statistical reviews to map and track incidents across neighborhoods. (lapdonline.org) No arrest was announced Sunday, and LAPD had not posted a separate newsroom release about the case on its public news page as of April 20. The investigation remained ongoing.
