Murders spiked nearly 30% in 2020 across the country, according to the FBI. Major cities across the country continue to face high murder rates and violent crime two years on.
New Orleans is one of America’s most beloved cities and party towns, but this year it was battered by violent crimes. There have been 251 murders as of this month, according to Nola.com, which works out to a rate of five murders per week.
New Orleans is now expected to take the top ranking among cities across the country for highest murder rate. The murders so far recorded this year are a more than a 13% increase compared to all 221 murders recorded in the city last year, and a 52% increase in murders compared to 2019 - which notched the lowest number of murders in the city since 1971.
