Homicides in the region decreased 9 percent — the first drop since the start of COVID-19, echoing a nationwide trend
Last year, killings within the city of San Diego declined by 10 percent, from 56 killings to 51.
Octavio Rodriguez, principal criminal justice researcher for the San Diego Association of Governments, or SANDAG, said the decrease could be indicating a leveling off or even a return to the steady decline seen pre-pandemic. Police are seen outside Mike’s Market in the Mountain View neighborhood where a shooting left one person dead on Feb. 15, 2022.
Pirrello said he’s also seen an uptick in random violence against elderly victims. “That’s concerning, and I think it’s related to the mental health crisis,” he said. It’s not clear what prompted the stabbing death of Stanley Stephens. One friend who lived on the same Escondido property said Stephens was amiable.
On Mondays, Stephens would text Reid with a recap of Reid’s Sunday sermon and share how it had affected him.“He was brilliant, he was funny, and he was highly loved at our church,” Reid said.Last year’s homicides in San Diego County included 11 children and teenagers. They accounted for about 1 of every 10 of the victims.
Edwin Barrera, 18, and Gillian Aguilera, 16, were both struck by gunfire and died as a result in National City on Oct. 28, 2022.
