September’s Forty
Posted on October 1, 2013
Back on September 1st, we said: “Looking ahead to September, we’re going to forecast 40 (+/-4) homicides and 195 (+/-15) shot and wounded.”
Now that September is in the books, the month tallied 40 homicides and an additional 154 shot and wounded. Like August, we were “dead” on for homicides, but slightly aggressive in our shot and wounded call.
The 40 homicides by the numbers:
- 34 males
- 6 females
- 30 (75%) shot
- 5 (12.5%) stabbed
- 28 average age
- 9 teenagers
- 21 under age 25
- 11 shot in the head
- 16 shot in the torso
- 16.3% shot-to-kill ratio
- 1 police involved
- 23 different neighborhoods
- 8 killed on Team Englewood
Looking ahead to October, once again we’re going to forecast 40 (+/-4) homicides and a lower 145 (+/-10) shot and wounded.

Keep it short and to the point. Name calling and similar stupidity will be deleted. If you insist on writing several paragraphs, start your own blog.
