Baltimore's homicides should be 127*. In both May and June respectively, 1 homicide occurred in Baltimore County. That being said, yeah homicides in the city tend to be like that. A bad weekend can erase a calm week or two. It's still tracking for well under 300 homicides so fingers cross it holds.
NOLA on the other hand...
Thanks. Hard to keep track when I'm just going by the official number.
It's 134 (128*) now with one this morning at 2am. June overall is still only at 19 (18*) with 2 days to go, well below 41 last year (or a month like May 2021 with 38). This year so far also doesn't have 1 month with over 30 homicides.
Given that homicides tend to peak in summer, the numbers does track towards <300 this year. Fingers cross indeed, though, all it takes is one bad week.
P.S. Makes me wonder about StL and Memphis as well since we're at NOLA...either way NOLA is just bad.
I think Roanoke, Virginia has 12-13 so far. If anyone wants to inform me on the exact number, I would appreciate it. Things are getting bad. Pre 2020, we usually got around that number for the entire year. We are just about halfway through the year. It seems like we are looking at a 2023 homicide rate typical of cities like Chicago, DC, and RVA. Not good.

One thing I notice about Memphis is alot of critical shooting victims end up dying about week later where as in other cities if they aren't pronounced on the scene they don't end up dying. Does Memphis not have good shock trauma?
Queens is incredibly safe. It’s very interesting that it seems like places with high number of immigrants tend to have low violent crime rates. I’d be interested in seeing a study on that.
deeper familial and community ties
less legal access to guns
underreporting of crime due to fear of deportation/incarceration
immigrant work ethic

It entirely depends on the nature of the shooting(s). Type of gun/caliber, distance, location, etc.
The concept of "golden hour" is is barely 60 years old. Shock trauma underlying foundations have been pretty standardized nation wide ever since so R. Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center opened in Baltimore, so I doubt they're is a lapse in quality Memphis.
