City/Metro Homicides of 2022 (living, crime, people, pros)

[MurphyKing54]

A 28 y/o man was shot and killed last night in Portsmouth, on the edges of Prentis Park. Another showed up at the hospital 30 mins later with non-life threatening injuries, don't know if they were connected or not. That's 24 for the year.

There's been 10 people shot since Friday across HR, a pair of double shootings in NN and Hampton contributes to half of the total.

Wilmington DE reports 8 as of July 27 down from 16 same time 2021. Almost 50% decrease. I believe the rate was in the 50s for 2021

Milwaukee still having an absolutely horrendous year! 135 homicides through August 1st, up 38% from 2021.

Boston has >2 million people in the same geographic size as SD.

Youd think there would be more dangerous exurbs outside the city limits. Brockton with 4 is the most i think.

Since Atlanta is my city, if it's having a bad year then I'm having a bad year, which I am but for many other reasons that would be off topic for this thread.

Houston - 272 according to Lexus Nexis or 231 to the beginning of June from Houston police. Numbers include homicides to negligent manslaughters.

Some Cali, Arizona, Western in general and DFW area suburbs likely have zero with over 100,000 people.
