Baltimore reached a grim milestone on Friday, three months after riots erupted in response to the death of Freddie Gray in police custody: With 43 homicides in July, the city has seen more bloodshed in a single month than it has in 43 years.

The 43rd recorded homicide was Jermaine Miller, 18, who took a bullet to his head just before noon the day before.

With his death on Friday, this year's total homicides reached 187, far outpacing the 119 killings by July's end in 2014. Non-fatal shootings have soared to 366, compared to 200 by the same date last year. July's total was the worst since the city recorded 45 killings in August 1972, according to The Baltimore Sun.

Probably let them lay in the street a few hours so they can report them for next month

McNulty could have gotten these bodies counted against Baltimore County if he was on the case.

That's how you do #100days100nights.

Rolling 100s and other LA gangs should be taking notes.

That number is far too low. They need to step it up.
