Homicides in Chicago 2022:There Have Been Close to 600 Fatalities

Homicides information is released daily by the Chicago Police Department. The crime data do not include killings committed in self-defense or other situations common in Chicago.

The number of fatalities in Chicago is approaching 600, but the city’s shootings and killings are staying below previous years.

According to CPD estimates, 580 people have been slain in the city as of the end of October. This represents a 16% decrease from the same period in 2021, the city’s deadliest year since the 1990s, and a 13% decrease from 2020.

The number of homicides so far in 2022

According to CPD statistics, 3,016 persons have been shot on 2,441 separate occasions. These totals are each down about 20% from this time last year.

There were 61 homicides and 250 shootings in the last month alone, matching the amount from October 2021. This included a mass shooting on Halloween night in the Garfield Park area, which injured at least 11 adults and three children.

“The Chicago Police Department’s priority is to improve every facet of public safety,” said Police Superintendent David Brown. “Coordination of our efforts across every level of government and each of our communities is one of the most crucial keys to making and maintaining progress.”
