Ghettoside: A True Story of Murder in America
$18.64 online at Bookshop.org
On a warm spring evening in South Los Angeles, a young man is shot minutes from home, one of thousands of Black Americans murdered that year. The killer vanishes into an SUV, hoping to join the many who are never arrested. Then Detective John Skaggs gets the case and the odds shift. Ghettoside is the story of a quintessential, mostly ignored American murder, one young Black man slaying another, and of detectives whose creed is justice for forgotten victims at all costs: a devastating crime, an intimate portrait of a community bonded in tragedy, and a lens on why murder happens in our cities and how the epidemic might yet be stopped.
