According to sun-times tracker, September has ended with 70 murders, placing it right on track with a prediction I made in previous post. Now that the last of hot months has come to pass, the remaining three months should be less tense.(Notwithstanding of the time when the city seen a record 117 homicides for November during the most murderous year ever).
Meanwhile, St Louis unlike most cities this year is struggling with back to back daily homicides. https://www.ksdk.com/article/news/cr...8-269679eee00c
Good news is that if homicides continues to cool off going into the last 3 months it should end around 2015/16-2019 numbers.
New Orleans becomes murder capital of America, overtaking St. Louis
New Orleans has seen 52 homicides per 100,000 in 2022 as of Sept. 11.
Here are the top 4 cities with the highest murder rates in the country and it’s been that way for a while now “ unfortunately “
#1 New Orleans
#2 St Louis
#3 Baltimore
#4 Detroit
The bottom half is surprisingly
#5 Cleveland
#6 Las Vegas
#7 Kansas City
#8 Memphis
#9 Newark New Jersey
I wonder what happened to cities like Gary Indiana & Little Rock ?
Little Rock AR have around 60, Gary 40, Hartford, CT 28, Paterson NJ 18, York PA 16
Camden, NJ and Chester PA saw decline in homicides
Wilmington, DE is at 13 homicides
Wilmington, DE by gunfire this year. it is reported 86 people being shot this year in Delaware's largest city.
These numbers are down from 2021, which saw the most homicides by gunfire — 39 — in a single year. At this time last year, 115 people had been shot in Wilmington — 25 of them fatally.
Atlanta is now actually down from 2021 for a change, even though only by 1 (120 compared to 121 the same date of 9/24 in 2021). Hope that continues or better yet widens the spread.

Gary, Indiana has so far logged 48 homicides. The population is 68,000. Although some estimates bring it to around 66,000. But going by the 68,000 population metric, it means Gary's Homicide Rate is around 70/100,000 per capita so far this year.
These are the homicide rates for Gary, Indiana over the years for context
They must be only looking at cities with a pop of 300K & up. If not than someone overlook Jackson at 62 per capita.
Yep, always overlooking Jackson, and prematurely saying New Orleans is the murder capital is also weird.
