Homicide Watch Chicago
Chicago Police reported nearly four dozen murders in May, and the city is averaging more than a killing a day so far this year.
The 46 slayings in May, as measured by the Chicago Police Department, are the most in any month this year, but the total is not out of the ordinary. Police reported 47 homicides in May 2013, and 50 in May 2012. There were 40 killings during the month last year.
The true count is much higher.
Chicago has been fudging the numbers the last couple of years. Newspaper did a story on it and it was kicked around Free Republic a bit.
