At least 67 people have been shot, 11 fatally, in shootings across Chicago over the three-day holiday weekend so far, police said.
The shootings took place on the West Side, in Lincoln Park and on the South Side, where violence at a Father’s Day gathering in a park left two men dead.
At time of writing 265 victims have been killed in Chicago in 2023. And that’s fewer than last year. But check this website for updates. Information about homicides is released daily by the city of Chicago. The release of homicide victims’ names is delayed by two weeks to allow time for the victims’ families to be notified of a death by Chicago police. The homicide figures do not include killings that occurred in self-defense or in other circumstances not measured in Chicago police statistics. Homicide data from Illinois State Police, which patrols the city’s expressways, also is not included here.

So it comes as some surprise to read this!
MoneyGeek’s annual analysis looks at the most recent crime statistics from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to estimate the cost of crime in 263 cities with populations greater than 100,000 across the United States. The analysis pairs reported crime statistics with academic research on the societal costs of different types of crimes to estimate the cost of crime for each city. Using these same methods, MoneyGeek also found the safest small cities in the U.S. in a separate analysis.
Look, no Chicago!
