Memphis Breaks Homicide Record, Again​

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Multiple shootings in a violent stretch of days has pushed Memphis to yet another record number of homicides in 2023, with more than a month left in the year.

The city’s homicide toll is 352 for the year as of Nov. 20, Officer Chris Williams with the Memphis Police Department said Monday.


That number surpasses the record of 346 homicides set in 2021. That year surpassed the previous record, which had been set a year earlier.


Two hundred ninety-eight of the city’s homicides are considered murders by MPD. New York City, with a population of 8.5 million, reported 333 murders as of Nov. 12.

‘Memphis Is In Trouble’: Youth Crime Rattles City​


MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A group of community leaders all gathered together in front of City Hall on Wednesday to voice their frustration with youth crime in Memphis.

13-year-old Charged In Carjacking Outside Animal Hospital​


MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A Frayser woman is traumatized and without a car after she says two teenagers stole her car and threatened her with a gun as she walked out of work.

It happened Nov. 3 outside Northgate Animal Hospital in Frayser around 1:30 in the afternoon.

The woman was too shaken up to talk on camera but said both of the carjackers are teens — and one is just 13 years old.


They attacked despite nearby surveillance cameras, which captured a person running away from a black Kia Soul before coming back and hopping in the passenger seat.

The 13-year-old boy was arrested and charged with aggravated assault and theft of property.
