What do you mean by "transformed"?

By the way, I have been following L.A closely and I noticed during the year 2018 as months went by, homicides were decreasing

Transformed as in lowered, like a transformation for the better.

I am not doubting LA's drop in crime and homicides, I am just saying its too early in the year to make a call about NYC or LA having more murders.

Fair enough. Maybe all the rain and cold weather in LA this year has kept some of the gang bangers off the street. Still pretty incredible, especially when it's still at only 20 despite a triple murder in a gated community in Chatsworth last week (not a random crime, drugs?- police aren't saying much, other to say it was targeted, the victim buzzed the murderers through the gate, and there is no threat to anyone else).

I looked a little harder and found that Seattle has 3, or a rate of 0.41 per 100K:

Portland's crime stats were a little behind, and they only update them on the first business day after the 25th of each month. We should get more stats tomorrow, but looks like for January 2019, Portland had 2 homicides, bringing the rate to 0.31 per 100K. I know there was a potential homicide in early February there, so possible it's at 3 now (would be 0.46 per 100K if true), but we'll see maybe tomorrow:

Jacksonville just had its 31st homicide so far this year. Up about 40% over last year, which was at 18 thus far. Tampa is at 6 and St Pete holding steady at 3.

I guess the low numbers so far this year is the one benefit this awful weather pattern we've had of wet and warm or just cold. Though even last year with the domestic terrorist at the synagogue Pittsburgh was still down in murders for 2018 over 2017, so I'm thinking a lot of the issues now are in the poorer areas east and in the Mon Valley along with a handful of city neighborhoods.

True.

Make that 5 for Montreal. Already five homicides by February is much more than usual. Around this time it's between 0-2 by the end of February.
