I'd wager most of the 15 will never be convicted even assuming they can even be identified. And those that are convicted, not a sure thing unless they confess or something, will likely serve a few years in prison at most.

PR_Tom is spot on ... the violence, gangs, and other nonsense is exactly why the suburbs continue to remain popular even though one can often find a nice size house conveniently located in the city for way less than in the burbs.

To digress a bit ... in many cities, the areas in the vicinity of any street named after Martin Luther King are typically the most dangerous, and are best avoided whenever possible...

Pop culture:
Streets named for Dr. King often traverse African-American communities within cities. It is a stereotype that any street named after King are rough neighborhoods and are to be avoided. Picking up on this stereotype, the irreverent comedian Chris Rock has said, "If you find yourself on 'Martin Luther King Boulevard', run!" [3]
