Its rate is already like 25/100k. I think that's also the city with the infamous Toy Box Killer, one of the most disgusting people to ever live on the planet. Sounds like a nice place to visit

All of this an example of how annexation/city-county consolidation can mask or dilute certain statistics in comparison to cities that don't/can't annex or consolidate with its county. So, it can be an apples versus oranges comparison. This is why people need to look deeper in regards to such comparisons.

Well, at this time (homicides):

This year => 151
2015 => 146
2014 => 134
2013 => 141
2012 => 205

... See, you have to go up to 4 years ago to see a higher homicide count than this year...
