# Yuma expansion — October 18, 2026

29 named victim records: 25 within October 18, 1996–October 18, 2026, plus four older records. Two unnamed reports and three related reports are separate and excluded. Site total: 697; Arizona: 563; California: 134. Location directories: 26 (23 Arizona, three California).

This is a partial archive, not every homicide or an official statistical total. Every year remains unreconciled. No coordinates were invented. Sources describe historical updates, not verified current dispositions. A Yuma mailing address does not by itself establish city jurisdiction. County scenes are held separately where municipal boundaries remain unverified.

## Remaining research

Reconcile the two unnamed stabbing reports, resolve the West Fifth Street boundary question, check later dispositions and obtain a police register for all years. Continue historical cold-case research, including other cases listed by Yuma police. Check the outcome of Trujillo’s post-conviction petition before presenting his plea as a current final disposition. Sources and date bases are included in the CSV/JSON exports. Four historical records precede the rolling window. The La Mesa six are individual victims, not six separate incidents. Older research documents describe previous site versions.

## Deployment

Upload all ZIP contents at the hosting root, including assets, data and city folders. Root index.html is present. Existing styles, scripts, images and other city pages are preserved. Yuma includes unique metadata, canonical URL, structured data, crawlable cards, internal links and a sitemap entry. Indexing is not guaranteed.
