The year 2021 ended as one of the deadliest on record in recent years in Chicago.
CHICAGO -- The year of 2021 ended as one of the most violent on record in Chicago, as a rise in the number of shootings left more people dead than in any single year in a quarter-century, according to statistics released by the police department on Saturday.
The discrepancy in data is due to variables such as time of incident versus time of death, as well as jurisdiction, according to the medical examiner. For example, if the incident occurred in a previous year while the death occurred in 2021 , it may be recorded differently.
