After a controversial city employee salary database (plus one for overtime) and an LAUSD salary database, the Daily News is at it again, this time with the LAPD's most wanted.

"Some 207 people are wanted by the Los Angeles Police Department for 15 types of crimes ranging from DUI to fraud to murder," the Valley based paper says. "Of that number, 196 are men, 11 are women. About 80 percent, or 167, are Hispanic, 21 are white, and 13 are black."

You can browse by name, sex, race and crime.

In the image to the right, starting at the top left: Larry Bazuaye for identity theft, Suzanne Agnes Berron for grand theft, Vahagan Akopyan for murder and Sallvador Magana Barajas for attempted murder.

You come to LAist because you want independent reporting and trustworthy local information. Our newsroom doesn’t answer to shareholders looking to turn a profit. Instead, we answer to you and our connected community. We are free to tell the full truth, to hold power to account without fear or favor, and to follow facts wherever they lead. Our only loyalty is to our audiences and our mission: to inform, engage, and strengthen our community.

Right now, LAist has lost $1.7M in annual funding due to Congress clawing back money already approved. The support we receive from readers like you will determine how fully our newsroom can continue informing, serving, and strengthening Southern California.
