Wirepoints released its homicide report, Chicago, New Orleans were the nation’s murder capitals in 2022 – A Wirepoints survey of America’s 75 largest cities, in March 2023. The research found Chicago had the nation’s largest homicide count, at 697, while New Orleans had the country’s biggest homicide rate at 74.3 per 100,000.
The data further showed New York City had 5.2 homicides per 100,000 and ranked #64 nationally. Columbus’ homicide rate per 100,000 was higher, at 15.4 and ranked #30. For total homicides, New York City ranked #3 with 438, while Columbus ranked #22 with 140 homicides.
It should be noted that one of the major take-aways from the report was Chicago’s extreme outlier status as the homicide capital of the nation under the leadership of Chicago District Attorney Kim Foxx. Kim Foxx is Bragg’s ideological counterpart in the Windy City, where 2022 homicides rose nearly 40% over pre-covid, pre-George-Floyd 2019.
