St. Louis is at 132 homicides as of 10/29/23. As long as the city ends the year with less than 159 homicides, which was 2014's total, we will have had our lowest number of homicides since 2013, which had 120 homicides.
Damn that’s amazing. It’s sad the news rather find a new City to focus on instead of showing this
Memphis at 245 murders at the end of September with 316 homicides; which includes vehicular and justified homicides. There's been around 14 confirmed murders since.
Memphis around 259 murders slightly above Cleveland and Baltimore
Cleveland OH has coming in at at least 150 homicides so far in 2023.
Just curious were you saw an update for Cleveland? It's definitely close to 150 now (there was a span of like 9 in two weeks in late September/early October) that was more like the pre-August pace the city was on when it was tracking to finish around 215 to 220.
But I'm still not sure Cleveland is at 150 quite yet. Last I saw was 130 as of September 16. I went through the Cleveland.com archives and counted 15 since then (includes that string I mentioned). That would put it at 145 but I know some were pending so the 150 could be accurate but i hadn't seen anything confirming that.
That two-week flurry ended my longshot optimistic hope that the city could finish around 150. But if things continue to trend like they have been for 11 of the past 13 weeks (1.5 per week), I still think there is a good chance the city ends below the 170 from 2022. That would still be an amazing turnaround considering the total was around 125 in late July.

Baltimore is 225. Staying below DC for raw total for now.
Per 100k Memphis is 41.7/100k and Baltimore is 39.48/100k. Neither are great number at all, and this is with Baltimore having the best year for awhile...
