While homicides were up slightly in Los Angeles County in 2023, a new report from the attorney general's office shows a significant drop statewide.
The violent crime rate in California was up 3% last year compared with 2022, according to to new data released this week, but the state saw a significant drop in the number of homicides, continuing a recent downward trend. A report from state Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta’s office counted 1,892 homicides in California last year, compared with 2,206 in 2022, a nearly 16% decrease in the homicide rate per 100,000 people.
I encourage local partners and law enforcement to review the data and recommit to taking action,” Bonta said in a statement. “While crime rates remain significantly below their historical highs, there is always more work to be done to protect public safety in our communities,” he said. In Los Angeles County, homicides increased 8% last year from 195 to 212, according to the Los Angeles County sheriff’s 2023 Homicide Report. Ninety-six of the cases in 2023 were solved.
