Milwaukee homicides down 35% since 2022

 
HeadlineMilwaukee Journal Sentinel, 12/31/2024
A second straight year with a significant drop in homicides in Milwaukee has done little to soften the pain for families impacted by the worst kind of violence. 
The city is on pace for just under 140 homicides this year, according to data from the Milwaukee Police Department and Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office. That's a hefty drop from the COVID-19 pandemic era, when there were about 215 in 2022 and about 172 in 2023, but still lags behind the years prior to that period.
