the increase is because there has been an increase in domestic violence in DC, they are not random shootings. Not to mention you can't really prevent domestic violence except through education, which takes forever to get results
I don't want to hear excuses. Murder is murder. Domestic violence isn't an excuse.

Obviously murder isn't a good thing. But it paints the city inaccurately because when people say the murder rate went up, people begin to think the city is dangerous & that these murders happen out on the streets & are random, like how the city used to be

First off you're using Fox as a source, & we know they try to paint cities horribly to get people to move to suburbs. & did you even read the rankings? because there was a Baltimore city ranked at #15. Also, Baltimore is seen as a dangerous city because of the heroine trade because people who are just walking down the street could get shot by someone apart of the heroine trade if he missed who he was aiming for. But no one walking down the street in DC is going to be accidentally shot by someone domestically abusing their spouse. Either way we should agree to disagree because this could go on forever
&, I am not 100% sure, but I think those numbers exclude part time residents like university students. GWU takes up a large portion of Foggy Bottom. GWU has 25k students, so that is a huge missing chunk
The report does not state the center point of the one-mile radius that it measured from in downtown DC. I am interested in knowing what the center point was.

it seems to be a poor measurement because downtown DC has a much larger footprint than downtown Baltimore, but measures both through a one mile radius

In the 90's DC had the reputation as the murder capitol case closed! 400 murders a year, let's not
forget! No one even likes to talk about the PCP trade In DC causing much of the murders. One would be in just as great of a risk being shot walking down a street in NE or SE , than in West Baltimore

DC downtown has more office space than it does residential. Downtown Baltimore is a more active and vibrant area due to the abundance of residential options

well, it does gives an apples to apples comparison - that is a one-mile radius of the central part of each city's downtown area. On that comparison alone, DC's downtown density is comparable to Baltimore's downtown density (i.e. Baltimore's downtown population is not 4x DC's downtown population as the poster led us to believe).
Also, a one-mile radius from 9th and G Street NW, for instance, would not include GWU because it is outside of the circle.

While DC has a higher employment density than Baltimore in the one-mile radius, DC matches Baltimore's residential density at the same time in the same space. That speaks volumes to how much more dense DC is than Baltimore in the downtown area.
