Not to scare anyone, but as you may have noticed, Los Angeles isn't the safest place on earth. For a good while, it was the homicide captial of the USA (I believe that the honor has moved on to Chicago at the moment). Anyway, use common sense: don't walk around downtown LA at night by your self. Don't leave your car unlocked and don't leave expensive items in your car. As a side note, most of the violence in Los Angeles is due to gangs. Thus, most of the violence is directed towards gang members. But of course, anyone in certain neighborhoods can get caught up in something they have nothing to do with. I mention this not to scare anyone, but just to let people know: people really DO get shot in South Central, Compton, Watts, East LA etc. Are those people tourists? Probably not. Is everyone in downtown LA trying to shoot someone? No, absolutely not. Just use common sense, that's all.
