The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office says there have been 677 homicides so far this year.

Murders and shootings are up 52% from the same time last year in Chicago.
With more than three months remaining in 2020, there have been more homicides in Cook County, which includes Chicago, than in all of last year, according to a report.


The vast majority of the 2020 homicides — 565 — occurred inside the Chicago city limits. The medical examiner’s office said all but 92 of the victims were shot to death, and that of the 677 homicide victims, 521 were Black and 102 were Latino

As long as the same side leaders stay in office.....it’s not going to change. Someone a while back wrote a great piece on this subject talking about the gangs and the drug issues.
