To date, as of Tuesday, the year 2022 has a count of 187 homicides, which is down 3%.
The city launched the One Safe Houston program in early 2022, resulting in the reduction of crime in many of the city’s crime-ridden hotspots, except for the city’s homicide count.
At least, that was the case for the first three months of this year. However, as of May 31, there was a change. To date, the city of Houston’s homicide count saw its first 3% drop.“I’m not here at all to say it’s a mission accomplished. I’m not here to say that. What I am here to say is that with this initiative, it is working, it is effective, it’s having an impact,” Turner said.
