Austin finished 2019 with 35 murders in the city, the same as 2018, which were both the highest number since 2016 when we had 39. That was a decade high as well that rivaled the highs of the early 90s.
2019 was also the first year that the suburban county murder totals exceeded 50% of Austin's total and was equal to 50% of the Travis County number of 38 where Austin is located.
