There were 29 homicides during the month of March, 10 fewer than were reported in March of last year.
Additionally, the department says there was a similar decrease in the number of shooting incidents and shooting victims.
Statistics
Homicides have dropped by about 17 percent this year, with 108 incidents compared to 140 during the same three-month period last year. Shooting victims have decreased by nearly 30 percent, from 687 to 486, according to the Chicago Tribune’s shooting database.
