Executive Summary In 2015, there were 145 homicides in the City of Milwaukee, which is the highest number of homicides
the city has seen in any year since 1993. This represents a 69% increase from 2014 (86).
This increase follows some of the lowest numbers in decades. Milwaukee averaged 119 homicides
between 1994-2004, while averaging 96 homicides between 2005—2015.
Cities of similar demographics to Milwaukee, including Baltimore and St. Louis, have seen drastic
increases in homicides in 2015. 1
The violence in Milwaukee is “overwhelmingly concentrated in disadvantaged neighborhoods
characterized by high rates of intergenerational poverty” and the “increase in homicides is related to
Argument/Fights between individuals or groups unrelated to other criminal activity.” -Chief Edward
Flynn, NPR, 9/5/2015 2
In 6 of the past 9 years, the area encompassed by zip code 53206 has led Milwaukee in homicides.
“What I can report is that our robbery-related homicides are down significantly compared to last year,
but those homicides that derived from arguments, fights, and retaliation among those people that
have significant criminal records is up over 100%. That by itself is driving this homicide total.” -Chief
Edward Flynn, WPR, 9/5/2015 2
In 2015, there was a 30% decrease in robbery-related homicides and a 58% increase in homicides
stemming from an Argument/Fight.
District 7 led Milwaukee with 40 homicides in 2015. This accounts for 28% of the city’s overall
homicides. The 40 homicides also represent a 264% increase from District 7’s 2014 homicides (11).
In 2015, there were 33 accidental, self-inflicted shootings (1 fatal, 32 non-fatal), compared to 13 in
2014. This represents a 158% increase.

Data Notes & Methodology
Data in this report was retrieved from the OMAP (Office of Management, Analysis, and Planning)
Homicide and Non-fatal Shooting Databases, and counts victims of homicides and non-fatal
shootings.
Homicide data only includes UCR reportable incidents. This data does not include self-defense or
police-related incidents.
Clearances are calculated in accordance with the Federal Bureau of Investigation definition (FBI). 1
The FBI defines a clearance as an incident in which an offender is arrested, or the incident is cleared
by exceptional means.
The total UCR clearance rate is calculated by the following algorithm:
Homicide clearance data was retrieved from the Milwaukee Police Department’s Metropolitan
Investigations Division.
Clearance data is accurate as of 01/08/2016.
Comparable clearance rates are clearance rates recorded by the FBI for cities with a population of
500,000-999,999.
Data for police district density maps capture homicide data since 2005 and non-fatal shooting data
since 2006. All other data captures the date range of 1/1/2007-12/31/2015.
