Grim Reality: 2013 Chicago’s murder rate is already set to be higher than 2012
Its only been two weeks into the new year and statistics are already showing a grim reality of Chicago’s crime rate
Its only been two weeks into the new year and statistics are already showing a grim reality of 2013 Chicago’s murder rate. Last year, over 500 people were murdered and statistics show the city might surpass it this year.
In the first six days of this year, 12 people were murdered in Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s Chicago. That’s two ahead of last year’s six-day total. And at two a day, it puts us on a pace for 730 this year, which would be our highest total since 1997.
To date, there have been 13 killed. While the number is an estimate, officials expect the number to increase during the summer months.
Here are a list of victims provided by Gawker:
Octavius Lamb, 20
Kevin Jemison, 29
Devonta Grisson, 19
Myron Brown, 30
Ulysses Gissendanner, 19
Michael Kozel, 57
