Teen shot 18 times while waiting for bus in Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A 14-year-old Philadelphia boy waiting for a bus to take him home from school was shot 18 times and killed Monday afternoon, police said.

Samir Jefferson was waiting at a bus stop shortly before 3:30 p.m. Monday in a North Philadelphia neighborhood when two unknown shooters fired at least 36 shots, a Philadelphia police spokesperson said in an emailed incident report.

Police said Jefferson was shot 18 times throughout his body. The boy died at a local hospital a short time later.

The incident report said no motive for the shooting was known as of early Tuesday. But police officials said the shooting outside of a crowded pharmacy was witnessed by a number of people and at least partially recorded on surveillance footage. Officials told WPVI-TV that they had questioned two persons of interest, but as of early Tuesday no charges had been filed.

Philadelphia has recorded 508 homicides in 2021 as of the end of day Monday, the highest number since at least 1990 and 12% more than the same time last year according to police department numbers. Those homicides include more than 30 victims under the age of 18.

5 people found shot in the head today in two different incidents in Taylor, a northern suburb. They don't think they're connected, and the one in which 4 died was a murder suicide. These were the first murders of the year for Taylor and also brought the total to 11 for Williamson County. This also makes November the deadliest month for the metro now with 17 murders, surpassing September's 15.

But yeah, it's still gonna end up with a very high rate if that 203 figure is correct.

Cape Town has one of the highest murder rates in the world, mostly from gang violence in the poor Cape Flats townships. It usually hovers around 75 homicides per 100,000. Crazy that some U.S. cities are not far from that rate.

Portland's previous homicide record was 72

Denver is at 78 homicides but should end the year less than 2020 which saw 95 homicides in the city

I was wondering about the count but hadn't seen a recent article updating it. I knew it had to be in the low 80s.

The Portland population estimate from PSU for 1987 was 419,810. The previous homicide record occurred that year with a a total of 66.

We're up 35.7% in population since that time with a current population of 652,503.

With 81 murders, we'll need 9 more homicides this year to beat 1987 in per capita homicides. Too close for comfort already, and I hope we don't make it. A sad year all around, especially considering there were only 29 in 2019.

Quebec City is at 4 - a drug dealer got knifed at the end of October (27 to be precise) and double-arson murder a few days ago. Our metro area is also at 4, with a population of over 800K.

Portland has 86 cases after four fatal shootings in the past week:

Homicide investigation underway in N. Portland after person found dead in tent

Quote:
If the man’s death is confirmed to be a homicide, the incident would mark Portland’s 86th homicide of 2021, a record, and the city’s fourth such killing in less than a week.

Two of the homicides came last weekend.

In the first, a man was shot dead Saturday in North Portland’s Eliot neighborhood. Then a man unintentionally shot and killed his cousin after getting into a dispute with others in the parking lot of a Southeast Portland strip club early Sunday, according to police and prosecutors.

A third man was found shot dead in Southwest Portland’s Goose Hollow neighborhood before dawn Tuesday.

87th as of Christmas Eve. We only need 3 more this week to beat our per capita worst.

We're officially living in Biff Tannen's Hill Valley.

Don't really follow this topic normally, but does anyone have Seattle's numbers?
