I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'killed by all that' is the definition.
'slain' can be an answer for 'killed' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the remainder of the definition.

'vice around los angeles?' is the wordplay.
'vice' becomes 'sin'.
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'los angeles?' becomes 'la'.
'sin' enclosing 'la' is 'SLAIN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for slain that I've seen before include "Put to the sword" , "Violently killed" , "Killed, murdered" , "Slaughtered" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
