As other large cities see gun violence spiking this year, Philadelphia now ranks second in total number of homicides among U.S. cities. It falls behind Chicago (433), but outpaces larger cities like New York City (227) and Los Angeles (157).
Police Chief Outlaw said the top issues driving gun violence here are:
Existing rivalries between gangs and groups;
Competition for territory to sell drugs;
“Beefs” between individuals; and
A rise in the likelihood for individuals to carry firearms.
Krasner listed poverty as a significant cause of the city’s violence, saying “Poverty equals bullets.”
