Go Philly!
Chicago's tally isn't dropping quite that precipitously, but still solidly trending in the good direction, and now below 2019 YTD! And -27% from the 2021 shitshow.
YTD homicides in Chicago:
2024: 143 (-16%)
2023: 170
2022: 180
2021: 195
2020: 154
2019: 149
2018: 157

I few like the mild Winter might have skewed the Chicago trend line.
It’s a bit weird to spike up 30% in March and fall back to -30% in April.
Jan 2024: 35 (-20%)
Feb 2024: 32 (-30%)
Mar 2024: 50
(+32%)
Apr 2024: 39 (-32%)
