January 1st has already seen at least 15 violent deaths that have been reported, though seven of those appear to be gang-members killed by police.
Portland ended with 28 murders and 31 homicides overall; Vancouver with 15 murders.

I've gone back a few pages to quote this but yes, it is truly a monstrosity the year that El Salvador has had.
These are the confirmed numbers for the first 6 months of 2015 with full year projections after the YTD. These were annualized at the time, it's gotten worse like you said;
El Salvador was at 2,865 (5,730). Population: 6,369,224. Rate of: 44.98 (89.96).
Cities;
San Salvador was at 929 (1,858). Population: 1,830,123. Rate of: 50.76 (101.52).
Santa Ana was at 84 (168). Population: 267,150. Rate of: 31.44 (62.89).
San Miguel was at 96 (192). Population: 252,200. Rate of: 38.07 (76.13).
At the moment I can't remember where I got San Salvador's population from. It's close to the reality thats all I know, I'd quote the source if I could find it.
