The following is violent crime, not just homicides. Also, it is for metro areas, not cities, although I find that to be a more apples to apples comparison, as comparing a city like Columbus, which encompasses parts of trhee counties due to township annexation, is not comparable to older cities ringed with old suburbs, like Cincinnati and Cleveland.

2006 Metro Area Violent Crime Rates

The ones I know:

Clevelands at about 34, which is 7.76/per 100k homicide rate so far.
Youngstowns at about 8, which is 10.96/per 100k homicide rate so far.
Lorains at about 2, which is 2.94/per 100k homicide rate so far.
Elyrias at about 1, which is 1.82/per 100k homicide rate so far.

Weve been through about 3 1/2 months of the year, so multiply the numbers above by about 3.5 and you should get the year homicide number and rate, if it stays at this same pace:

Cleveland- 119, 27.17/per 100k.
Youngstown- 28, 38.36/per 100k.
Lorain- 7, 10.29/per 100k.
Elyria- 4, 7.27/per 100k.

The US average is about 4/per 100k.

2006- 119
2007- 135
2008- 102
2009- 34 (so far)

This has been a violent year all over the country. Those three cops shot down in Pittsburgh, the 14 killed in Binghamton, NY, Alabama, NC, and more. I know shootings happen a lot, I think the news might be talking about them more because of the economy, maybe saying that it has something to do with them all.

Warren usually averages about 5 per year (I believe there were 11 a couple yrs. ago). I can only remember 1 so far this year and it happened the other day on Wick S.E. Neighborhood rattled - TribToday.com - News, Sports, Jobs, Community Information - Tribune Chronicle - Warren, OH

Do you remember any others???

Here is Youngstown's 8th East Side shooting leaves one dead - Local & Regional News - Vindy.com, The Vindicator

5 or 6 did sound very high to me for Warren this time of the year. That sounds more like a yearly total.

I guess its possible because Warren can get rough in places though, but I doubt its that high yet.
