The charts below represent homicide data between 2015 and 2025. All of the information concerning these homicides has been pulled from newspaper and media reports. The information presented here is not official and may also be understated.
A note on "Weekday vs Weekend." I define the workweek as running from Monday to Thursday and the weekend from Friday to Sunday.
A note on "Time Period." I divided the day into 6 time slots, A through F. A = 12 AM to 4 AM, B = 4 AM to 8 AM, C = 8 AM to 12 PM, D = 12 PM to 4 PM, E = 4 PM to 8 PM and F = 8 PM to 12 AM.
A note on "Approach Method." This captures, when available through news reports, how the attacker approached the victim. For example, was it a drive-by, or did the assailant(s) drive to the scene, exit the vehicle, and then attack? In both cases, I would categorize it as ‘Motorcar.’ Alternatively, was the attack carried out on foot, such as a fight that broke out in a bar or an attacker approaching the victim on the street? This variable is subjective, as it relies on the specific details available from media reports.
