With only 600,000 residents in Baltimore police recorded 338 homicides as of Tuesday, following a week of relentless gunfire that saw eight people shot — three of them fatally — in one day and nine others — one fatally — another day. That total is up from 309 in 2018 and four shy of the 342 killings tallied in 2017 and 2015, the year when the city’s homicide rate suddenly spiked.
By comparison, New York City with 8 million citizens has, surprisingly, recorded 304 murders to date.
