After years of delays, the LAPD and the FBI will open a homicide library where old murder cases will be stored and digitized.
Alfred Baylor was standing in front of an apartment building near West 110th and South Main streets in 2004 when shots were fired.
In addition, researchers are studying more than 4,500 of the digitized murder books to identify why investigators were and weren’t successful in solving cases. The effort began in 2012, when the department’s South Bureau, along with the FBI, began organizing and digitizing murder books. Quickly, investigators realized the potential.
“It’s striking when the iron’s hot is really what it comes down to,” said LAPD Det. Mark Hahn, who heads up the unsolved squad in the bureau.
