An article in The Washington Examiner yesterday compared 2011 and 2010 figures on young homicide victims:
More young people are ending up homicide victims … Of the first 34 people killed in the city in 2011, 13 were 21 and younger. A year ago during the same time, there were 32 slayings, and 10 victims were 21 or younger.
Earlier this month Homicide Watch reported that in the first four months of 2011 a much larger proportion of homicide victims were 21 years old and younger than in the same period last year.
You can find more information about this year’s homicide victims and an interactive timeline of young homicide victims below.
