LOS ANGELES — In Latasha Bracks' Watts living room, a cluttered shrine to her three sons and three daughters sits atop a waist-high pedestal near the front window.
There are framed photos of their smiling faces and artifacts from their lives, including her 18-year-old son Pierre Monroe's high school diploma and basketball trophies.
Rising above the keepsakes is a gleaming silver-and-blue urn, shaped like an oversize egg in an egg cup.
