Gun violence in Baltimore
On August 1 this year, a statement from Baltimore Mayor Brandon M. Scott noted that there have been ‘historic reductions in violent crime through July of 2025’.
He noted there has been a 24.3 percent decrease in homicides and a 18.3 percent decline in nonfatal shootings. Up until August 1, 2025, Baltimore had 84 homicides- the fewest in over 50 years.
“The decreases we are seeing as a city are not a coincidence. They are the result of so many partners working together to advance our shared vision for a better, safer Baltimore- both today and for the generations to come,” Mayor Scott said, adding, “From the brave men and women of BPD, to our team at MONSE, to our partners in the Governor's Office, the State Attorney's Office, U.S. Attorney's Office, and the Office of the Attorney General, to organizations working on the ground to prevent violence in our communities, and- most importantly- to residents standing up to violence in their neighborhoods, Baltimore is saying enough is enough. While we continue to see meaningful progress, we know that as long as we continue to lose neighbors to violence, we have to double down, and deepen the work that is driving these historic reductions.”
