With more than 500 homicides, Chicago’s violent death total falls for 3rd straight year
Though there were more than 500 killings this year, Chicago is poised to finish the decade with the fewest murders in a given year since 2015 — capping a decade that saw more than 5,200 people killed throughout the city.
As of Monday, the Chicago Police Department had tallied 491 murders on the year. The total is down from the 579 recorded in 2018, the 670 in 2017 and the nearly 800 recorded in 2016. The Cook County medical examiner’s office, meanwhile, has found 510 deaths in Chicago in 2019 were homicides.
“This is a milestone for us, it’s not success though,” CPD spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said Monday.
So far, arrests have been made in 101 murder cases that originated in 2019, according to department records.
The Harrison District on the West Side — historically one of the most violent parts of the city — again had the most murders of the CPD’s 22 districts in 2019, with 71 as of Monday. The Lincoln District on the North Side was the only district in the city to not see a single murder all year.
The deadliest incident of the year occurred in October when, authorities allege, Krysztof Marek opened fire on a family in a condo building on the Northwest Side, killing five. It was the fourth time since 2001 that five or more people were murdered in a single incident in Chicago.

Not even close to truth or reality. Central banks are having issues if you are paying attention…..be careful of what you "hear" anon. Next time ask them if "they" have sauce for their claims.
