A 20 y/o was shot to death outside some apartments in the Olde Town area of Portsmouth last night. That's now 37 and ties the all-time record set in 1995. May not be the final count due to justified/reclassifications.
192 homicides in the metro excluding City proper or 192 in the metro including the 144 in Birmingham?
192 is including Bham. Bham metro's pretty safe outside of the parts of the city proper and the western suburbs. This year had a good number of deaths in a prison located in unincorporated Jefferson county, though.
City went like a week without a homicide only to rack up 4 in one day.
Exactly. Can't even get too happy about the break in homicides because you know it's usually short lived. September was a pleasant surprise with only having 13 total for the month.
Tough few days for Portsmouth. A 37 y/o man was found shot to death in the Prentis Park area yesterday evening. Apparently he was shot in front of a quick mart a block away, badly wounded made his way to a nearby home, where he was reported to police as "suspicious". That's 38 for the year and breaks the all-time record set in 1995.
