The year of 2021 ended as one of the most violent on record in Chicago, as a rise in the number of shootings left more people dead than in any single year in a quarter century, according to statistics released by the police department on Saturday.
According to the department, 2021 ended with 797 homicides. That is 25 more than were recorded 2020, 299 more than in 2019 and the most since 1996. And there were 3,561 shooting incidents in 2021, which is just over 300 more than were recorded in 2020 and a staggering 1,415 more shooting incidents than were recorded in the city in 2019.
Other cities have also seen an increase in the number of homicides. But Chicago, as it has in previous years, ended 2021 with more homicides than any other city in the United States, including New York and Los Angeles, both of which had recorded at least 300 fewer homicides than Chicago for the year as of late December, according to police data from those cities.

Apparently no one cares. If it’s not about masking or vaccines, it’s not an issue.
Well, the responding EMT's could be required to put a mask on all victims and give 'em a Jab right there at the scene.
Think of the lives that would save!
Black lives become irrelevant when you’re working on your “gangstah” body count.
Heyjackass reports 845 homicides with 793 of those being gunshot wounds.
How many were killed per year in the Capone/mafia era. I bet
the bad old days don’t seem as bad in comparison.
Mayor Lighthead only cares about Masks and Vax - she has pulled Police off Criminal duty and assigned them to ticket and fine local family owned businesses for not enforcing her Mask Mandate.
In January, she will assign even more resources to enforce her insane Vax mandate - but there is zero resistance in Chicago to her Tyranny - most are going along with the maniac.
Those of us who are familiar with the neighborhoods in Shitcago can look at the list and can conclude that the overwhelming majority of these homicides were black on black crime.
#blacklivesmatter ... apparently not.
I would like to know, of the 3561 shooting incidents and/or the 797 murders, how many arrests were made?
Maybe it not really a crime in Chicago.
Maybe it (is) not really a crime in Chicago.
You have a good point.
Sorry, but it's safer in Kabul... 🤓.
