LSU researchers are reporting a link between homicide, blighted property and convenience stores in the Baton Rouge area.
The study found that a quarter of all Baton Rouge homicides took place in an area that makes up about 3% of the city. Researchers discovered that homicides in the capital city are most likely to occur where there's a dense concentration of blighted buildings in close proximity to convenience stores.
