So, that there have been 3 homicides in a 12 month period is still alarming, however large the community is. I don't think it's an unsafe community; the murders weren't just random and could happen anywhere. It's just something odd that I noticed. Maybe there is one of those weird "Freakanomics" or "Outliers" type reasons explaining it.

I had to Google Panorama Hills to see exactly where it is, so clearly I dont know much about. However, whenever I heard the name, serious crime always came to mind. Its not necessarily that a Forest Lawn image comes to mind. Its that there's been high-profile killings in the recent past. For example, the pimp gangmember that killed the young mother and her daughter. I seem to recall some shootings as well.
And yeah, this stuff can happen and does happen in a lot of suburbs, like the recent Superstore shooting, but it seems there been a few big crimes in Panorama Hills that hit the news.
