Baltimore City hit a new record low for monthly homicides in April with five reported killings.

That is the lowest number of monthly homicides since the city began keeping monthly records in 1970, confirmed a spokesperson for the Baltimore Police Department.

On top of that, the total number of homicides in 2025, currently at 39, are the lowest they have been at the start of any recorded year so far.

The administration shared numbers based on BPD data Thursday to show that April homicides were down 31.6% from last year and nonfatal shootings are down 27.1%.​

Los Angeles city in 2024 got over the pandemic spike and back on to the recentish slow decline in 2024.

Los Angeles sees fewer than 300 murders for first time in five years​

After shocking spike in deaths, homicide count is back to pre-COVID level

--

So far in almost 4 months of 2025, up to 4/26 at time of writing, there are 72 murders compared to 106 in the same period last year (and 94 in 2023).

That would track out to ~220 for the year, which would be the lowest in decades.

Thanks, Obama!

SAid it considered "murder rate and property crime" as reported by FBI.
