Right, there have been no reported homicides in the past fourteen days. However, there is no comparison between what happened in the last two weeks to the number of reported homicides over the course of a year. Only if there was a means to compare the number of reported homicides in D.C. over the two weeks leading up to August 11, 2025 could a somewhat fairer assessment be made.
