2018 Homicide Clearance Rate

Legal Outcome	Homicides
No Suspect Charged	479
Suspect Charged	89
Murder-Suicide	7
Police-Involved	6
Self-Defense	4

The clearance rate is a calculation of Total Homicide Suspects Charged/(Total Homicides – Police involved – Self Defense – Murder/Suicides). Regardless of how many people are charged in relation to a single homicide, it’s only counted as one suspect for calculation purposes. The rate has nothing to do with criminal proceedings and convictions (or lack thereof).
