Overseas Network, September 19th According to the " New York Post " report on the 18th, a few days ago, the tourist city of Louisiana, United States, New Orleans was born in the "Murder Capital" due to the surge in murders. Data shows that 205 homicides have occurred in the city of New Orleans this year (2022), a surge of 141% from pre-pandemic.

The surge in crime rate and poor law enforcement have made New Orleans the city with the highest homicide rate in the United States, which has far surpassed violent cities such as St. Louis, Chicago, and New York.

According to the New Orleans Metropolitan Crime Commission data, there have been 205 homicides in the city so far this year, an increase of 46% over the same period last year (2021). As of last week, 52 homicides occurred in every 100,000 residents in the city. New Orleans’ homicide rate this year is almost three times that of Chicago, which has previously attracted attention for frequent gun violence cases.

In addition, due to the shortage of staff in the City of New Orleans Police Department, the average response time for emergency calls is 2.5 hours. (Overseas Network Li Meng)
