Did no one tell me we're back in 1993? Homicides in city hit the 90-mark.

It appears that Moore's killing is the city's 90th of the year. As of 10 a.m. on Monday, Police spokeswoman Erica Van Ross said that there have been 89 homicides in the city so far this year. At this time last year, there were 65 homicides. That’s an increase of 24.

Announcement of a revolutionary public school reform effort?

More inducements for pedestrians to be walking the streets and keeping an eye out for such crimes?

What can we do to stop this?
