Flint town at 19 homicides until may 31st, a 73% increase compared to 11 at the same time last year: link. Looks like social distancing and having to stay inside did not have a positive effect on crime in Flint.

I don't dig into things like this but from time to time try to see if somebody is reporting on YTD numbers. Cleveland.com usually starts tracking and including the numbers once the city reaches 100, which usually is late summer/early fall. (September/October).
With that; looking like that 100 mark may come earlier this year. I think there have been about a dozen since Memorial Day weekend probably pushing it toward 60 already so it's looking like it will be around 70 at the halfway mark and historically, the murder rate seems to increase the second half of the year.
Plus, Cleveland has not seen much deviation for at least the past 8-10 years ... always seemingly somewhere around 125 to 135. You'd have to back to the end of the crack era (mid 90s) since the city has been around 150. But 2020 has been that kind of year where it looks like Cleveland, and many others, could end at decades plus high totals.
