While most American cities are seeing a massive spike in homicides, Boston is having its safest year in most likely a whole decade. Other cities need to emulate what Boston is doing
St Louis at 83 after a early morning homicide in Compton Heights one of the more safer neighborhoods in the city.
Hopefully this weekend STL would not turn to be that violent unlike 2020.

Yeah, it seemed like Boston actually had worse years pre-pandemic and improved in the last few years, opposite trend of most cities. I don't know the latest numbers for Jacksonville, FL but I believe it also had a similar trend.

I thought Jacksonville had the highest rate in FL as recent as a couple of years ago, but saw a drop last year.
4 killed on the first day of July. Two were in the Loop, as already mentioned; then a 17 year old girl was shot and killed in Little Village when a male on a bike pulled up on her; and lastly a man in his 20s in West Englewood.

Pretty amazing that Boston possibly could end the year with no more than 30. Strange time we live in when Portland has more than that and three times as many homicides half way through the year. In comparison to that, Boston is looking more like a Canadian city of comparable population, midway in between Vancouver and Winnipeg in terms of total and per capita.
