The last three homicides were buried in the deeper news, not on the main headlines section any more.  

Not surprising that they don't want the public to easily monitor the homicide rate in Lost Angeles, since it's climbed to record levels. It's at a steady rate of more-than-one per day (closer to two-per-day) in August so far with no signs of abatement.
