New Orleans is fortunate to have Jeff Asher who is becoming one of the better neutral observers of crime data in the country. He wrote about this 5 months ago. It’s a good read on the topic. No answer given but explores most of the possible reasons stated in this thread.

The most logical explanation to me is that big national factors caused gun violence to explode in New Orleans from 2020 to 2022, and big national factors are causing it to go down now. New Orleans is like every other American city, only more so. Murder rose 30 percent nationally in 2020 and stayed at that elevated level in 2021 and 2022, but murder in New Orleans more than doubled between 2019 and 2022. Murder fell 12 percent nationally in 2023 and is falling even faster in 2024, and murder is falling at a much faster clip in New Orleans.

was there for Mardi Gras and it just felt palpably safer than I can ever remember. Noticeable police presence and even some national guard type of guys/equipment also
This was upgraded to a seer 1 security event after the terrorist incident, right?
