Detroit has far too many homicides, regardless of whether the murder rate is going up or down.
Still, it's good to see the rate go down.
That's not the case so far this year, reports Ryan Felton of the Metro Times.
From January to June 7, Detroit police have recorded 115 homicides, up 6.1 percent from last year when there were 108, the Metro Times reports.
A police spokesperson didn’t return Metro Times' request for comment.
