After unprecedented violence over the past several months, homicides in East Baton Rouge Parish have tied the previous record set in 2017 as 2020 promises to become the parish's most murderous year in recorded history.
quote:
Two fatal shootings on Wednesday preceded the news Friday afternoon that another man, who was shot Tuesday night on Scotland Avenue, had died in the hospital. Those killings pushed the parishwide murder count to a historic high — 106 lives lost to violence so far this year, according to unofficial records maintained by The Advocate.

Five people have been shot to death since last week, a rate of killing that dwarfs previous years but tragically has become commonplace in 2020.

Homicides in East Baton Rouge Parish have now broken all previous records after a person was shot and killed Friday afternoon, their death pushing the 2020 murder rate past the previous record set in 2017.
The shooting took place Friday in the 3800 block of Topeka Street, according to Mike Chustz, spokesperson for East Baton Rouge emergency medical services. He said the person was dead on arrival.
They were the 107th person killed across the parish so far this year. That surpasses the previous record of 106 in 2017.

And the mayor who has done nothing at all to stop it will likely be reelected tomorrow night by the same people who are killing each other at this rate.

Wonder if Gravy is going to address this from the front seat of his car?

She had the nerve to insist she was doing a great job on crime just last night in the debate.

My wife and I will be voting for Carter. He wasn't my choice but I'll take him over the status quo.

That’s insane. I didn’t see the update. May have beat it.

Is that dude still updating the BR vs StG thread?

Print the shirts Chicken! Can't wait to pay 38.99 plus shipping!

Those numbers aren’t correct. BRPD is working number 108 on the year right now. There have been another 19-20 in the parish that other agencies have worked.

Nice to see all those highly paid jobs that Baton Rouge tax payers are funding are really making a difference. Wait.......nvm

Wait Broom said she has solved all the murders and has the best chief in the world...
What happened to St. George, why is that lawsuit not been thrown out already.

According to them 107 happened this afternoon
There is no telling what the actual # is

That’s fair. I just skimmed the story. Parish wide is closing in on 130

NEW RECORD

Just about every decent size city has soon murder rates rise over the last 2 or 3 years. Just like every city saw decreases in the early 2000s. It some sort of national cycle of rises and falls and rises.

So if you are keeping score at home, EBR broke the record for homicides, by at least 10, in 2017...Broome's first year in office. This, following 2016 where EBR had the lowest number of homicides in a decade.
NOW, not to be outdone, EBR has broke 2017's record just three years later!! Who said SWB wasn't bringing progress to EBR? We are definitely progressing upwards in the murder totals...while the level of animosity towards the police is at all time highs.
You know, if only the people in EBR could change the mayor. Oh wait! They can. Tomorrow actually!!!!
Kip was the last Democrat I voted for and think, though not ALL great, he did some good things for EBR. Broome is doing everything possible in addition to wasting millions of taxpayer money, to turn the parish in to a barren wasteland.
If you live in EBR and don't go to vote this moron and her cronies out tomorrow, then shame on you.
