Heyjackass even reports 753 homicides currently. They provide detailed information about each homicide like exact time and block or address so their numbers are probably accurate. If the current trend continues, Chicago will end up with around 850 homicides by the end of the year. It is such a troubled city.
HeyJackass includes self-defense, police shootings, and other non-traditional homicides. Tribune is reporting 709 as of today.
Don't worry, the terrorists will hit 750 in a few weeks.
Three University of Chicago students have been murdered this year. Hyde Park is surrounded by war zones, and there's been no shortage of violence brought to you by its visiting neighbors, but three murdered students is absolutely shocking at one of the world's best universities. The criminals and their enablers are having quite the successful year there.

Shootings are up significantly, ~1068 shooting victims, but a large number of shootings are being hidden by coding them as "injured person". Which is keeping the overall stats down, same thing is being done with the number of murders, by counting them as "NEGLIGENT MANSLAUGHTER" which are not included in the murder total.
If it were the size of Chicago is would have around 1327.

You're both not accounting for geographic size which throws these types of comparisons way off. Chicago is 3x the geographic size of Baltimore (225 vs. 81 sq/mi). NYC is 4x the physical size.
You can't just multiple "x" cities population and call it a day. You have to take into account geographic size of the cities in question when directly comparing them at parity.
Baltimore has ~1.2 million people and something like 330-340 murders in the same geographic area as Chicago. If it was the "size of Chicago" it would have virtually identical homicide metrics population/land adjusted.
Same would apply to cities like Philly, DC, Memphis, Cleveland, St. Louis or Oakland.

27 for the metroplex so far this month and 448 this year not including Negligent manslaughters. There's been a lot of Negligent / nonnegligent manslaughters across the D/FW this year involving vehicles.
