Startling Southside Statistics
posted (October 23, 2017)
No one has been charged for that murder or any of the other 9 city murders in October.

So, with this weekend's two murders, there have now been 25 killings on the Southside since July - and ten recorded in the month of October alone - a high point which has only happened in the span of one month once before, that was in January of 2013. The worrying part is, October still has eight days to go.

Even more disturbing is that according to our figures, there have now been 49 murders on the Southside so far for 2017, which is already a record - since, by our count, the previous high mark for southside killings was 48 for all of 2014.

2013, 2015 and 2016 all recorded murder totals in the law 30's on the southside.
