Last May was the make it or break it month for significant reducing over 2024 and we ended up with 20 homicides for the month. We are at 2 after 11 days this year. If we finish May with under 40 (33 now). Good chance at 110-120 for the year

Benton Park/Soulard neighbors might need to get serious about pursuing redevelopment of the gas stations in those neighborhoods. Lots of instances in the last couple years concentrated at gas stations in otherwise safe neighborhoods.

May was a huge month for the city - great reduction in homicides over last year May! Let's hope it all continues at the same rate! 
Also, might I say its crazy there's not more reporting on the statistical crime reduction... with all of the clickbait crime articles, you think someone could write an article about the reduction fairly easily to lure people into that article...
