For the 13th consecutive year, the city of Chicago once again reigned as the nation's homicide capital in 2024 with 573 murders. Ted Dabrowski, the president of Wirepoints, believes that the illness has festered for too long. Even as overall murder rates across the country dipped, Chicago also claimed the top spot for the highest murder rate per capita among big cities at 21.5 per 100,000 population. That's three times the level of Los Angeles and nearly five times that of New York City. "It means we have a real problem and we're sick," Dabrowski told The Center Square. "Until we get serious, this murder problem is going to be a drag on the city in terms of attracting people, attracting businesses and, worse, it's going to keep chasing people away and chasing businesses away. It's something we have to get our hands around." |
