Los Angeles rides a sharp decline in summer murders

"In the two-month period from July 1–Aug. 31, 60 people were murdered in the city of Los Angeles. While that is a tragic loss of life, there is a grim silver lining: It is a 48% reduction from the 89 homicides in the same period last year. It also marks the lowest figure in that timeframe since 2019."
