Portsmouth is now at 15 after a double shooting in the Dale Homes projects, leaving one dead and another in critical condition. Had 9 this time last year, which I already thought was bad.
Now 16, the person didn't survive and succumbed to their injuries in the hospital.
I would not get excited about Portland yet. Both cities used to average about 30 a year and have a long way to go to recover from their summer of '20 embrace of lawlessness and criminals.
Miami has seen 5 homicides and 11 shot so far in 2023 but first two months of the year it was 4 homicides and 10 shot that historic low. I wonder if rising rents pushing residents out of Miami ?
In the first two months of this year there have been just four homicides in the city of Miami — a historically low and probably unsustainable pace but also part of a long and often overlooked trend
Miami may never shake its deadly Cocaine Cowboys reputation in some quarters but — at least judging by the murder count — the city is far less dangerous than it was decades ago. The last two years combined recorded just 97 homicides — the lowest tolls since 1964 when the city had about 100,000 fewer people. If this year’s pace continues, which police and crime analysts suspect is a long shot, it would cut even those low annual numbers in half.
So far this year, 10 people in Miami have been shot. A year ago at this time, the number was 34
Miami recorded 49 homicides in 2022. With a population of about 440,000 according to the U.S. Census Bureau, that was better than most cities of similar size. For instance, Atlanta, with about a half million residents, saw 170 murders in 2022 alone, a slight increase from the previous two years when the city totaled a combined 321 homicides.
Miami has had fewer than 60 homicides each year going back to 2016.

The city has seen fewer homicides so far, but the county is seeing an uptick in murders, shootings and violent crime. Miami also under-reports murders and violent incidents*
According to the crime map
City of Miami Murders: 5 (might be slightly undercounted)
Shootings: 24

27 for a county of 2.7 million including the city of Miami isn't that bad either.

Sure, but the whole hooplah about it being safe and some utopia now is hilarious considering county wide, it's outpacing last years numbers already.
A few others happened, so it's at about 30 right now.
