James Queally, Los Angeles Times
From his staff web page, where you can read his latest work:
“James Queally is a staff writer for the Los Angeles Times. A Brooklyn native, he spent five years covering crime and police news for the Star-Ledger in New Jersey. In that time he profiled Frank Lucas, the drug kingpin who inspired the film “American Gangster,” and wrote a series of stories that revealed how the state’s largest police departments failed to solve thousands of nonfatal shootings, which led to policy changes. He is a die-hard Knicks fan lost in Lakerville.”
