Samantha Giles' A Force to Separate considers each person listed by officials as homicide victims in Oakland in 2006 in the order of the discovery of their death. The total number of homicide victims for that year was 148, the highest total in more than a decade.

Deep Oakland is pleased to announce that a selection of this ambitious work is now available for view here.
