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.
We’ve set up a Substack channel where we’ll be posting longer form content that doesn’t necessarily work on the site. Subscribe if you like, or not. Additionally, we’ve established a small presence on Telegram and have a toehold on a number of smaller, alternative social media platforms: MeWe, Odysee, Rumble, Minds and GETTR.
Aside from the occasional live stream and videos some platforms find acceptable, most of our video content can now be found on Odysee. Warning: some of the images found within the Gallery may be graphic. View full Gallery

Carjacking data comes directly from the CPD’s own data set, so add 20% to obtain the true numbers. Carjacking and arrest tallies are directly related to either the IUCR codes of 0325 & 0326 only. Other auto related crimes are not included. Previous year data sets represent the entire year’s tally.

Hosting: Tired of shitty hosting services? We moved over to Nexcess last year and have had nothing but a positive experience. It’s never too late to start that cat blog you’ve been dreaming about. This referral link helps pay for our hosting fees and in turn you get a quality host.
Email: You get what you pay for and that includes email. Proton Mail is a quality email platform with an ad-free privacy bent. This referral link helps pay for our email fees and in turn you’ll get a free month of service.
Ad Blockers: We do make a few pennies from ad revenue, so if you wouldn’t mind whitelisting us if you run an ad blocker that would be super.
Brave Users: click on the BAT triangle in the address bar to either send a tip or make a monthly standing contribution. If you’re not using the Brave browser, you should be.
We compile our own dataset using the following sources: Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times, Homicide Watch Chicago (no longer updated), DNAInfo Chicago (out of business), Chicago Redeye Homicide Tracker (long gone), NBC5 Chicago, Chicago Tribune’s Shooting Tracker (no longer updated) & Homicide Tracker (declared dead), Sun-Times Homicide Tracker, Cook County Medical Examiner, CPD’s Historical Data Set, City of Chicago Data Portal, Chicago Police Department Arrest Record Search, CPD CLEARMAP, Various CPD Dashboards, ISP Expressway Shooting Dashboard and the needlessly woke Chicago Violence Reduction Dashboard.
Community areas and neighborhoods are determined by the Chicago Tribune’s Boundaries App (defunct) 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.
