London (UK) reached 100 murders for the year on September 22.

Here's a list of all of them.

https://inews.co.uk/news/uk/london-v...far-this-year/

Earlier in the year it was in the news that with almost identical populations London was ahead of NYC for murders, its that still the case or has NYC pulled away now with more than 100?

city murder rates

St. Louis had 6 murders in a 24 hour stretch Sunday. Brings total to 130 as of 9/24/2018. Keep in mind the population of the city is only 309,000.

Pretty bad end-of-summer for Detroit. And in general crime news, with the end of summer comes a switch-over to a focus on solving unsolved homicides and looking for possible wrongful convictions.

Quote:
With warm weather waning and detectives poring over old murder cases to look at possible wrongful convictions, Detroit police officials have redeployed officers to the department's Homicide Section to help investigate killings.

Six detectives and one sergeant were added to the Detroit Police Department's Homicide section this week, and a new City Wide Support Squad was formed, Chief James Craig said Wednesday.

"We had upped our deployment at parks, and we also had added manpower downtown to address some concerns there," he said. "But now that we're moving from the warmer months, we're reallocating some of those officers to homicide. This is something we do all the time.

"We had talked about increasing the number of homicide investigators because we added an inactive case unit to work with the Innocence Clinic (to look at old cases for possible wrongful convictions)," Craig said.
Detroit (as of 9/26/18):

2018: 197
2017: 208

-11 (-5.2%)

I'd use the city's data portal to fnd the 2016, but since they switched over systems in December of 2016, it's impossible and useless to try. Whatever the exact number, it was higher than 2017 and 2018. Anyway, with the FBI numbers released for 2017, the city's drop in homcides placed it rate per 100,000 third nationally for big cities (40/100,000), now significantly behind St. Louis (66/100,000) and Baltimore (56/100,000).

STL and KC are violent cities. I was in KC in August and they were taking about something like 22 shootings that included 5 murders over one weekend.

I'm fairly sure males cause about 95% of the world's problems.

I've noticed that doing business in both cities. Is there a city though in either the Midwest or South that does not have a higher crime rate? I know the Upper Midwest is lower crime (Minneapolis, Omaha, Des Moines) but are there any outside of those areas?

That's true, but then again males also conceived, designed and built 95% of our modern cities and technological civilization.

Corpus Christi is up to 24 murders for the year, and that's higher than the 22 they had for all of last year.

I don't know (haven't looked it up), but maybe OKC?

I live in Denver now and the crime rate (especially homicide) is way lower than the violent cities.

its 103 homicides for cleveland as of oct 8.

they added more temporary detectives to assist.

last year 50% of the cases were solved:

https://www.cleveland.com/metro/inde..._adds_fou.html


aside from the appalling murders themselves, i thought that was kind of shocking that half were unsolved.

however, i saw there were 33 homicides in dayton in 2017 and 14 went unsolved by the end of the year, so maybe around half of the murders do go unsolved, at least initially. no doubt as time goes by more are solved, but it seems not always very quickly.
