Another eight lives lost to violence last week, bringing our 2022 homicide total to 148 – this represents an increase of 155% relative to 2019, 97% relative to 2020, and 53% relative to 2021

• A 55% majority 2022 of homicides have occurred in either the 7^th District (34%) or the 5^th District (21%)

Shooting incidents are 92% higher relative to 2019, but remain 7% lower relative to 2021 – note that this does not reflect the number of shooting victims

• Again, most 2022 incidents are reported in either the 7^th (30%) or 5^th (20%) Districts

We are seeing smaller increases relative to 2021 in carjacking incidents (+6%), though we are still 191% higher relative to 2019

• The 7^th District has the highest number of reported carjacking incidents, accounting for 27% of 2022 reported carjackings
• There is a somewhat even distribution across the 5^th District (16%), 6^th District (14%), and 1^st District (14%), with only the 8^th District reporting fewer than 10 in 2022 YTD

Overall, armed robbery is up 32% relative to 2021, 57% relative to 2020, and 22% relative to 2019. It is the only category in which we have seen a higher rate of increase relative to 2021 than to 2019.

• This is the most equally distributed type of violent crime across the 8 NOPD Districts.
• The 3^rd and 7^th Districts each account for 17% of armed robberies, the 1^st District accounts for 15%, and the 5^th and 8^th Districts each account for 14% – crimes of opportunity!

District-level data will be posted on our social media platforms in more detail over the next several days.

Stay safe and have a great week!
