36 homicides were reported in April 2022, compared to 21 from 2021 and 24 in 2020, Los Angeles Police Department Chief Michel Moore said Tuesday.
36 homicides were reported in April 2022, compared to 21 from 2021 and 24 in 2020,"This is at least a four-year high," Moore told the Los Angeles Police Commission.
The police chief said the driving factor in the increase in violence is "a spasm of violence" within LAPD's 77th Division area, where 11 homicides occurred in April, compared to one in 2021 and five in 2020. The 77th Division includes Athens Park, Chesterfield Square, Gramercy Park, Hyde Park, South Park- 51st and Menlo, Vermont Knolls, Vermont Park, View Heights, Morningside Park and West Park Terrace.
"Significantly, it's a 61% increase and an additional 49 shooting victims in the month of April compared to 2020," he added.
