Baltimore tops 300 homicides for 7th consecutive year
BALTIMORE (WBFF) — Baltimore surpassed 300 homicides in 2021, making it the seventh consecutive year the city has topped the mark.
Among the victims, Baltimore police officer Keona Holley, a 39-year-old mother of four who was ambushed while on patrol Dec. 16. Officer Holley died a week later after being taken off life support, the day before Christmas Eve.
When questioned about the violence and crime plan, the mayor and commissioner often pointed out the department is getting more guns off city streets than in years past, and that overall violent crime is slightly down in the city.
