Murder at record low in the East End in 2014

Don’t let this get lost in the mayhem from Southside in the upcoming year-end recounting of the city: the number of homicides on the East End is at a historic low in 2014.

With 2 weeks left in 2014, there have been only 4 killings in the East End this year.

The previous low was 9 (in 2009 and 2012). Ten years ago, there were 27 people killed in the East End; twenty years ago there were 34.
