Reply to comment by Separate-Landscape48 in ABC News: "Washington, DC, records back-to-back years with 200 murders for 1st time in nearly 20 years" by Swampoodle1984

Yeah, probably.

Context is interesting. We hit 200 on the second-to-last day of the year. Homicides over all are currently down 11% from 2021. As of June, they were still up 16%, so the entirety of the decrease has come in the second half of this year.

Given the very recent trends, I'd expect that to continue with a big drop in the first half of 2023.
