SpotCrime - The Public's Crime Map

Ever wonder where people like JFK, Malcom X, and Martin Luther King, Jr. were shot? SpotCrime has it mapped for you. We have the ability to map and display crimes older than you and me. We're also the only crime map with a 'shooting' icon. On most maps, a shooting is categorized as an assault, however we think it's important to separate out the shootings. After all, a bullet can travel further and faster than a fist. Another feature we offer for each crime we geo-locate is Google Street View . The streets of DC have changed drastically since President Garfield's assassination, but you can still give it a look around with google street view. We've put together a list of shootings below in a SpotCrime Crime List (view the entire list here ). Make sure to scroll down to see a complete list and a link to check out each individual crime on SpotCrime.

Unfortunately in some of these cases art imitates life and the very activities occasionally referenced in the music of certain artists are reflected in real life violence. Tupac Shakur, already the victim of one shooting, was gunned down in Las Vegas on September the 7th 1996. The murder has never been solved. Christopher Wallace better known to the world as the Notorious B.I.G. was gunned down in what perhaps was a retaliation for the murder of Shakur on March the 9th 1997 in Los Angeles. This murder has also remained unsolved to this day.
