How is the city's murder rate faring this year?

[artds]

Does anyone have stats on the number of homicides that have occurred in the city this year?

Are we on pace to have more or fewer this year than in previous years?

Don't know, but pillow fight statistics are way up.

Below is the answer to your question, lifted verbatim from the March 26th Time Magazine article entitled, Detroit Tries to Get on a Road to Renewal: 'Asked recently about a dip in the city's murder rate, a mayoral candidate deadpanned, "I don't mean to be sarcastic, but there just isn't anyone left to kill."'
