Murder headline misleads readers

Regarding this March 11 headline, “Man charged in mobile home death”: I wonder why the editors focused on the type of residence in which the death occurred.

Had the alleged murder occurred in a single-family home of traditional construction style, would we see that in the headline, “Man charged in single-family home death”? I think the implications being made here are rather irresponsible and are attempting to lead the reader to some unsubstantiated conclusions.

If there is a point the editors would like to make regarding crime and socioeconomic status or lifestyle or whatever, the opinion page is the proper place for such discourse, not the front page.

In addition, I believe it was a young woman who died, not a mobile home.
