New Orleans set to finish 2019 with lowest murder rate since 1986

It would be interesting to see the breakdown of victims known to the perpetrator, although I am not certain that information is necessarily available.

This data is somewhat dated now, but the breakdown here is interesting:

Only 10% of victims were strangers to the perpetrator and only 13% of the overall number of homicides occurred by gunshot wound. I imagine the numbers might be slightly different in NOLA/the US.
Same
There are the anecdotal instances that Sparkle noted about someone confronting vandals, but the vast number of murders are victim/perp knowing each other and happening in ‘expected’ parts of town
