The city is at 138 as of this morning. Highest start to the year in two decades, although at least as a minor ray of light the month over month increase has gone down from a 100% increase in January to something like 60% in February and 25% in March.
Maybe your numbers are from that heyjackass site or whatever it is that tracks all deaths and not just homicides as they're counted by the FBI and used as comparisons amongst jurisdictions? That site tracks self defense, justified police shootings, etc.
I am using heyjackass (which is now reporting 147). What site do you recommend?
I don't have a site that's updated daily, but going off official police department/FBI reported stats for homicides. I just know it's currently 138 because it was released today in the news for the 1st quarter (well for the 30th, not today).
Denver still at 9 homicides (population: 685,000)
Omaha at 4 criminal homicides (population: 450,000)
Lincoln 2 homicides (population: 270,000) Lincoln only 1 homicide all of last year
Inkster, MI 4 homicides (population: 25,000)
San Bernadino 16 homicides (population: 210,000)
Richmond, VA 17 homicides
Jackson 18 homicides (population: 170,000)
Birmingham 25 homicides (population 210,000)
Kansas City, MO 21 homicides (population: 460,000)
Las Vegas Metro: 38 homicides (Las Vegas Metro jurisdiction is 1.5 million people)
Dallas, TX: 44 homicides (population 1.2 million)
I am using heyjackass (which is now reporting 147). What site do you recommend?
It's my understanding that the trouble with HeyJackAss is that it includes things like self-defense killings. I usually use the Tribune's tracker. Crime in Chicagoland -- chicagotribune.com
