Excerpt from 12/29/2022 Inquirer:

Through Tuesday, the city had recorded 512 homicides this year, slightly lower than last year’s record-breaking total, but higher than any other year in at least six decades. Most of the victims were young Black men, with the violence intensely concentrated in neighborhoods where poverty, blight, and other systemic disadvantages collide. 

The number of people who were shot and survived — nearly 1,800 through Monday — also rivaled last year’s record-setting pace.
