Speaking Sunday night at the scene of the city’s 171st homicide, KCPD Spokesperson Sgt. Jake Becchina said the city’s current number of homicides is more than the department ever considered.
“It’s an absurd number,” Becchina said as he addressed the media in the 6800 block of East 98th Terrace.
Before 2020, Kansas City’s deadliest year on record was in 1993 with 153 homicides. The city surpassed that number in October.
NYC and Boston saw two of the more impressive declines. Boston for its speed.
Boston murders 1990-153
Boston murders 1999-31
NYC murders 1990-2245
NYC murders 2018-289
And I wonder what NYC boroughs have always pushed the Murder rate ? I'm thinking it used to be Manhattan because of the drug wars in Harlem and then the Bronx,
But I always hear about Brooklyn being the most dangerous area.
