INDIANAPOLIS - Indianapolis homicide officers were investigating three unrelated deaths this weekend as the city's murder rate continued to rise.
The deaths, which occurred within just hours of one another, pushed total murders for the year to 124. Police say there have been another 16 justifiable homicides on top of that.
-snip-
An RTV6 analysis of the city's 2013 murder rate compared to Chicago's shows that Indy has seen approximately 10 percent more homicides per capita than the Windy City.
Chicago, with a population of more than 2.7 million, has reported 409 murders and justifiable homicides this year, according to http://www.DNAinfo.com, which tracks the city's crime rate. That puts it at roughly 15.1 homicides per 100,000 residents.
Indianapolis, by comparison, has seen 140 homicides to its 822,000 citizens for a homicide rate of 17 per 100,000 people.

“there have been another 16 justifiable homicides”....
Justifiable Homicide. Why not say it like this, “He deserved killin”? Now that makes more sense. (sarc)
It keeps my Son-in-law busy.
He's a cop there.
You've got high taxes there?
I own a house there. The garage has a bullet hole in it.
It USED to be that way in Indy, but home invasions in 'good' neighborhoods have ended that illusion.
Particularly on the east and west sides of Indy. All near to downtown area. Like many cities, I guess.
Indianapolis proper has become libs and parasites, the suburbs, not so much.
Oh?
From the pictures of most of the perps they sure don't LOOK very Mexican!
It ‘issued’ me!
Oh?
What is he 'doing' wrong?
Yep, there is a lot of that here. You can’t come out of a store anymore without hearing a car blasting Mexican music out of it. Lots of drug and gang activity between blacks and Mexicans.
Ballard is a huge disappointment. He has been turned by the Simon and Irsay bunch, I would not vote for him again for anything.
We have UniGov, which takes in a LOT of empty land. The entire county of Marion is ‘Indianapolis’, except for a few small towns that were already incorporated before the massive realignment.
Wait’ll Indy tries to expand it’s borders outside Marion county.
Then the ‘rate’ will be even less!
The population ‘per sq mi’ needs to be posted: Chicago / Indy
As a fan of Chicago's murder rate I find that information very disappointing........Oh well, there's always next year.
Only on I-465.
(We ARE home to the 500 mile race, you know. Where do you think the drivers get their experience? ;^)
Oh?
What is he ‘doing’ wrong?
To start with, he has totally bought into the green agenda. He also wants us to pay for light rail. He is on the local radio show with Greg Garrison every month or so. Believe me, he is moving left.
No thanks.
When I was a kid growing up near there, we called Indianapolis "Nap-Town" and not as an abbreviation for Indianapolis but a more "descriptive" term that had nothing to do with word "democrat".
That was the issue 45-50 years ago and still is.
I don't know about the TOTALLY part; but I do agree about the rail thingy.
Erika is doing a GOOD job with her propaganda in the Star. That wonderful paper that seems to manage, EVERY Sunday, to find some FAGS living together and show off their home.
Dang!
I don’t remember that!
NAP town to me always meant we were a sleepy little place in the cornfields.
