New Orleans Violent Crime Claims Three Young Brothers

NEW ORLEANS - AUGUST 04: Family members weep at the funeral of three brothers, Kendall Stephen, 21, Kareem and Kadeem Stephen, both 16, killed in the gang-style murder of four people last week August 4, 2006 in New Orleans, Louisiana. The brothers had only returned to New Orleans two weeks ago following their evacuation to Houston after Hurricane Katrina. The city had few murders for many months following Katrina, but the total began to rise sharply in late spring, with 21 murders reported in just one month, including a quintuple killing in mid-June.
