@BaltimoreBanner when it fell down
15 murders have taken place in January - five of those in one day. This makes 4 consecutive months under 20 murders. Projecting the annual total from one month is a shaky proposition but January is also part of a recent downward trend so maybe not. It would be 177, down 33% from 2023.
@nytimes baldly asserting his liquidity *while he's also on trial for fraud*
Going a full year without 30 killings in a month and 3 straight months of under 20 killings are both benchmarks not met for the entire Mosby-Hogan murder epidemic.
The final 3 months of 2023 were all under 20 killings. If the average for that quarter holds for all of 2024 that would be 204 killings in a year, which would be a 22% drop from 2023.
The final number of homicides recorded in Baltimore in 2023 was 262. That's a 21.8% reduction from 2022. Nationwide there was a large drop in 2022, but the city was immune to the national fluctuations in violent crime during the pandemic. Something happened.

Quit my job yesterday. 2 years with no cost of living increase and they expect me to take a pay cut. Bye.
@
[email protected] well the good news is i do not deign to do that.
November is another milestone in homicide reductions in Baltimore - we now have two consecutive months which did not reach 20 homicides. It's been 5 years since that happened. Projected annual total is now 264, a 21% reduction over 2022.
