A note about homicides

While we cross-check our numbers against coroner records, major offense logs, media reports, and any other source available, homicide numbers are subject to change as investigations progress.  Homicides may be reclassified as “undetermined” if the coroner cannot definitively state whether the injury was self-inflicted, accidental, or intentional.  More commonly, deaths initially listed as “unclassified” are reclassified as “homicide” after autopsy. 

In addition to 2023 crime trends, we are continuing to update our 2022 Crime Trend Recap data on the website. Here, you will find neighborhood-district level information, crime maps, and past reports, all of which are regularly updated with new information.
