I'm open to being convinced otherwise, but when crimes like a motor vehicle theft where the owner of the vehicle gets run over and killed in the process, is filed as property theft, not a violent crime, I'm not sure I believe these numbers. Maybe my understanding of some of these criminology terms is off, but some of these crimes and how they are filed doesn't pass the smell test for me.

Does this actually happen? In this situation the carjacking is guilty of murder, the death would be recorded as homicide, and I'm pretty confident this would be counted as a murder in our crime statistics.

That's in reference to the incident on Vernon Street NW in March, CCN 22032803.
