NEW ORLEANS - AUGUST 04: First cousin Steven Thomas and aunt Juanita Thomas weep over the body of Kareem Stephen, 16, one of three brothers 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.
