Piece Description

Host In: Over the past several years overall crime in the city of St. Louis has dropped dramatically, almost 30-percent. One particular crime however is way up--homicides. The city is averaging nearly one murder every two days. A primary cause of this deadly spike is a proliferation of gangs and gang culture. In the first of his three part series on gangs in St. Louis, Adam Allington takes us behind the scenes with some of the city's most violent street gangs. SOQ @ 5:37 Music out at 6:36
