How come every time someone gets shot in the Florence-Graham area, they have to write “Man shot near South Gate”. Why not just put “Man shot in unincorporated Florence-Firestone”? South Gate always gets a bad wrap for shootings that didn’t even happen in their city.
Because it provides a geographic location to the area. Unincorporated LA County could be anywhere.
