Yikes. Poor Cincinnati. It has an almost identical population to Pittsburgh, yet we are only at 45 so far for 2021. I thought 45 was way too high, too, for a city of just over 300,000.
Cincinnati has double the population of Dayton and 4 times as many homicides. Probably drug related and paroled felons who are not supposed to have guns getting them anyway.
NYC, LA, Miami, Boston for example won’t see wild murder rate like 1970s-1990s because they going through gentrification. The hoods in Chicago, Philly, Baltimore, Houston, Dallas, New Orlean, Jackson MS, Saint Louis are less gentrified.
Portland, Oregon(67 homicides 2021) is on track to break a record, as gun violence in the city is showing no signs of slowing down. They said 1987 was a record year for homicides, with 70 that year. Data shows that as of August this year, there were more than 830 report shots fired call.
"This is the most violent time in my career. This is the highest level of gun violence I've seen," Lt. Ken Duilio of Portland Police said. He's worked with the bureau for 24 years and said he knows the violence can't be stopped overnight.
San Jose 37---there was mass shooting earlier in year
In all of Jefferson County, there have been 131 homicides including the 75 in Birmingham.
Tacoma 23
City have responded to more than 250 shootings and 314 people have been victims of a shooting so far this year. Cincinnati had responded to 66 homicides so far in 2021.
Canton, Ohio is at 15
Between 2000 and 2009, the city averaged about nine homicides each year. The number reached 14 in 2009, when detectives handled two triple homicides.
The city saw 2017 as the deadliest year in Canton history — at least since 1965 they were to investigate 17 homicides in 2017.
Eleven homicides took place within the city in 2018 and 12 in 2019.
Saint Paul 29
Tuscon, AZ 64
Trenton, NJ 22 and Paterson, NJ 23

Albany, GA 11, Columbus GA 52, Macon-Bibb County 33, Savannah, GA 25
The US last year endured the highest increase in murders since the FBI started tracking national crime records in 1960, a report said.
In 2020, there were about 5,000 more homicides across the country than a year earlier — for a total of roughly 21,500
Despite the astronomical rise in murders compared to 2019, the number of killings is still far below the rates experienced in the US in the early 1990s, the report said.
Murders up 10% this year compare to 2020
The number of homicides in the United States was 6.55 per 100,000, compared to just 5.0 per 100,000 in 2019.
The largest previous increase was in 1968, with homicides increasing by 12.7 percent in a year.
However, the actual number of homicides per capita is well below the peaks recorded in the 1980s and early 90s.
The homicide rate in 2020 is about one-third lower than the peak of 10.2 homicides per 100,000 in 1980.
Cities like Chicago and Philly see late 1990s homicide levels.
