Incidents show that the vast majority of our Murders are/involve:Black Males, 20-39 yoa (20-29 & 30-39) Lacking formal education, Having a positive toxicological screening, Have some previous interaction/relationship with the suspect, A criminal past is indicated,Occur in the northern corridor of the City,Of the arrests/wanteds known, it is theorized that the suspects mirror this information,Ease of access to firearms

*Not since the mid 90s have murdered exceeded 200/year. As is depicted in this and the following slide, the rate of murders fluctuates.*Depicts the rise and fall of the murder rate. *With the exception of January and December 2013, we were well below the 5-year average for murders in the city. *The Homicide Section has transposed the above information from the former 9 Districts to Six. As is evident, the majority of the murders occurred in the former 6-7-8 Districts (now Districts 5 & 6).*On a 5-year average, June & October appear to be the most violent months. Easily this could be correlated to children getting out of and returning to school and forming alliances; however, information later presented shows this not to be true.*The age range of 20-29, leads almost every year. Followed by 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 17-19 and finally 0-16.*36 of our victims from 2013 were not City residents. It is therefore theorized that a large number of our suspects are not residents of the city; if information relative to prior criminal history, education, employment, toxicology, etc.. are the same!!!*The majority of our victims have not completed high school.*This information is eye opening. Over 95% of the victims toxicology results were positive. Some victims have more than one type of substance in their system. It is believed that suspect toxicology is the same.*This table mirrors the victim page as it pertains to age range. The most violent individuals are above 20 yoa followed by those between the ages of 30-39. *The above information pertains to incidents occurring during the calendar year 2013. There are currently 16 wanteds dating back to 2008.*Victims are more than likely to be killed by someone they are acquainted with.16 cases refused, 29 cases issued*Once again, the 9mm handgun is the predominant weapon.
