Although murders are lower than a year ago compared to 2016, the level of violence still exceeds those of recent years. In 2016, there were 277 murders.<\/p>\n<p>As of December 28, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phillypolice.com\/crime-maps-stats\/\">514 people<\/a> Philadelphia was the capital of homicide. This number is down by 7% from 2021 when a record 562 people were killed, but it is higher than the 499 deaths in 2020, and 356 deaths in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Philadelphia isn\u2019t the only city in Pennsylvania to see a higher homicide rate, as Pittsburgh has had similar problems. As The Center Square reports, however, state Republicans have begun impeachment proceedings against Larry Krasner (Philadelphia District Attorney) as a result. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecentersquare.com\/pennsylvania\/pennsylvania-house-votes-to-impeach-philly-da-larry-krasner\/article_5bbd6664-65e0-11ed-aae5-1bda3ffc2f0e.html\">previously reported<\/a>Partly due to the increased violence under his watch.<\/p>\n<p>The House Select Committee hosted public hearings that were critical of Krasner but also of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecentersquare.com\/pennsylvania\/philadelphia-mothers-of-murder-victims-testify-cite-failures-of-da-police-council\/article_b1d8de28-4021-11ed-b3ec-efacc3fdacdb.html\">Philadelphia police, city council, and the mayor\u2019s office<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Since Krasner took office as district attorney in 2018, murders have gone up 46%, if 2022\u2019s figure doesn\u2019t change. Krasner has traced the increase in homicides to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecentersquare.com\/pennsylvania\/philly-da-krasner-calls-house-subpoena-anti-democratic\/article_3b5ee6e4-2324-11ed-86c0-73f0a790827f.html\">effects of the pandemic<\/a>As well as the lack of access to education and employment,<\/p>\n<p>The death toll, and violent crime in general, is already a point of contention for the city\u2019s mayoral race. Declared candidates took to Twitter to promise to do more than outgoing Mayor Jim Kenney who is term-limited.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs of Tuesday, there have been 512 homicides this year. That is beyond unacceptable &#8212; it&#8217;s outrageous,\u201d Allan Domb, former City Councilman and mayoral candidate, has been elected to the City Council. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/VoteDomb\/status\/1608485531729412096\">tweeted<\/a>. \u201cI&#8217;ve said it before and I&#8217;ll say it again: we haven&#8217;t &#8216;turn[ed] &#8220;the curve&#8221;\u2019 on gun violence as Jim Kenney has said, and we won&#8217;t without new leadership in City Hall.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMore than 500 homicides for the second year in a row,\u201d Rebecca Rhynhart (former City Controller) is the mayoral candidate <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RebeccaRhynhart\/status\/1605655524204167168\">tweeted<\/a>. \u201cMy heart breaks for our city and the countless people and communities impacted. We can\u2019t get back what was lost, but if elected mayor, I promise to turn this around and put an end to the violence devastating our city.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLike last year, Philly recorded 500 homicides,\u201d Derek Green is a former City Councilman who is running for mayoral office. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DerekGreenPHL\/status\/1605955792359723008\">tweeted<\/a>. \u201cAs the only former prosecutor running for Mayor, we need a leader who has fought crime to make our City safe. #ExpectMoreDeserveBetter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Many shootings in Philadelphia have been relegated as a nuisance. <a href=\"https:\/\/controller.phila.gov\/philadelphia-audits\/mapping-gun-violence\/#\/?year=2022&#038;map=11.63%2F39.97486%2F-75.18837\">relatively few hot-spot neighborhoods<\/a>These are mostly found in Philadelphia&#8217;s west and north sides.
