Stats do NOT include on/off-duty police or other law enforcement and are not limited to firearm related incidents; fatal stabbings are also included. Previous years’ stats reflect totals for entire year.
Is your neighbor cutting the grass without a mask and gloves? Do you know of a church holding Sunday services without permission of non-essential politicians? Are you tired of people not living in total fear? If you answered yes to all of the above, maybe it’s time to join the Chicago Authoritarian REporting Network (CAREN). Proudly displaying this 11×17″, matte finished poster in your home or shuttered, non-essential business will let others know you’re not playing.

Sites we like.
As a small percentage of idiots ventilate one another with reckless abandon, we diligently record, document and illustrate every non-essential event. However, during this time of a global pandemic and the onset of Great Depression v2.0, we ask that you support your local charity instead of our stupid site.
If you feel to need to support the Chicago Scanner community, we ask that you please support those who provide everyone with up to the minute news and information – Spot News, Chicago Scanner & CrimeIsDown.com.
We compile our own dataset using the following sources: Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times, Homicide Watch Chicago (no longer updated), DNAInfo Chicago (out of business), Chicago Redeye Homicide Tracker (no longer updated), NBC5 Chicago, Chicago Tribune’s Shooting Tracker & Homicide Tracker, Cook County Medical Examiner, CPD’s Historical Data Set, City of Chicago Data Portal, Chicago Police Department Arrest Record Search and CPD CLEARMAP.
Community areas and neighborhoods are determined by the Chicago Tribune’s Boundaries App and/or Crimeisdown.com’s most excellent Incident Map.
Editor’s note: All murders are homicides, but not all homicides are murders. We count homicides, whereas the CPD counts murders. A homicide, or a non-fatal shooting, regardless of type or by whom, within the city limits of Chicago counts towards our total metric, including anything on the expressways. CPD-involved, ISP-involved and justifiable homicides all count. Reckless homicides may count if the Medical Examiner rules that the cause of death was a homicide. Suicides do not count. Additional definitions can be found on the Glossary page.
