Another two for Montreal, bringing the city to 17 homicides for the year (+1 from 2021). Usually we're at around 9-12 by this time of year, but yeah... dark times for the city.
The man responsible for these two killings + 1 in Laval in the past 24H was shot dead by police this morning (good). In an often never seen thing in Montreal, all targets were random people, not gang related.
There has been a huge influx of guns coming into the country from the U.S, but the lack of resources to stop them has lead to an uptick of gun violence (add mental health issues from the pandemic and severe lockdowns).
Philly is currently even seeing more murders than what it had this time last year.
Earlier this year it was showing improvement, like Chicago. If I remember correctly it was closing the gap during the summer months.

I remember in the earlier months of this year Houston had a huge lead over last year, but looks like it's closed the gap and within single digits (numbers and percentage) if not lower than last year now.
Fort Worth is at 67. Currently on pace for a total similar to 2020 and 2021.
