Someone should remind Kali that people don't like the north end because of the high rates other crimes (B&Es, car theft, vandalism and assaults).

Most people are well aware that random murders are rare almost everywhere.

I agree, but if a reduced homicide rate in the North End made even a few more citizens feel more comfortable about investing in the area, that's a positive and worthy of reporting. It has a ways to go, but any reduction in crime is good news.
