Unfortunately, assault with a deadly weapon is up more than homicide is down. More people got shot, stabbed, beaten, etc. this year than last; so far fewer have died, but that's more about luck and good medical care than a crime reduction.
NEWS FLASH: the crime crackdown in D.C. CONTINUES to deliver results.
Homicides this year: 11*
Same date last year: 29
Same date in 2024: 31
That’s a 65% drop!
Safer streets. Real accountability.
*The acts that caused two of these homicides occurred in prior years.
