Cleveland is around 120 after a violent weekend (3 dead, at least 19 shot), so probably will finish right around the 130 it has been at the last 4 or 5 years.
That's tragic. Pittsburgh is still at 33 as of 12/09/2019. We have almost identical populations. I'm not sure if Pittsburgh is having a "fluke" good year or if Cincinnati is having a "fluke" bad year since we're usually pretty comparable with homicide rates as well. Maybe our population has just declined a lot further than what census estimates suggest, or maybe we're gentrifying our problem children out to the suburbs more rapidly than some think.
Looking at numbers for Cincinnati, they don't seem too different from what they have been getting for murders throughout the 2010s.
Pittsburgh generally has had fewer murders than Cincinnati annually, but the different this year is quite large. Allegheny Countys murder total will almost assuredly be down from last year as well when it was at 112. We're at 91 county wide for the year at the moment and might finish below 100 forv only the second time since 2014.
That would be a good guess, 4th police district specifically (where the initial nightclub shooting then the retaliation shooting both took place that the focus of the article I linked were on). It's the 4th District, which has been marred in gang-related killings in recent years, that has led the city from going from around 100 to 130 per year recently.
Not that the westside is immune to violence, but it's mainly the hotspots on the eastside that drives up Cleveland's murder rate (though that's not a Cleveland-specific problem).
Austin is still at 34... I can't find anything up to date, from a reliable source, on any other cities.
Pittsburgh is also at 34. Then again Austin has about thrice our population, so that's very impressive for Austin!
