Who are the victims of the 1992 LA race riots?

In 2012, the LA Times made an online database of 63 riot deaths. The links on their website are now broken. However, we figured out a way it can still be accessed. Click here.

The list contains:

Blacks: 28
Latinos: 19
Whites: 13
Asians: 2
Middle Eastern: 1

Three Blacks and four Latinos were killed in self-defense shootings. One Black was killed by a stray bullet from a law enforcement self-defense shooting.

One of the deaths is a White male who died in his home of a drug overdose. One is an 83 year old Black male who had a heart attack at his home. The LA Times says that these deaths are from the stress of seeing the rioting. However, this is a bit of a stretch.

Three of the Blacks died in car wrecks. The LA Times attributes these to the riot because they occurred at intersections where the street lights were out.

Whites:

1. Matthew Haines, 32, and his nephew were pulled off their motorcycle, beaten, and shot. Haines died while his nephew survived.
