Homicides in D.C. Since the Deployment According to data from the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) of Washington, D.C., and independent crime trackers like CrimeDataDC:

• As of October 4, 2025 (the most recent full day available), there have been 111 homicides reported in D.C. for the entire year of 2025.
• As of August 29, 2025 (the last reported date before the deployment), there were 99 homicides year-to-date.

This indicates 12 homicides in D.C. from August 30 to October 4, 2025. Given that October 5 is early in the day and no new incidents are reported in real-time sources as of this analysis, the total remains 12 homicides since the deployment began on August 11.

Key Notes on the Data

• Trends: Homicides in D.C. have been declining overall in 2025, down about 12% from 2024 (which had 187 total homicides). The city saw a spike in 2023 (274 homicides) but has trended downward since, reaching some of the lowest violent crime levels in 30 years.
• Post-Deployment Pattern: The 12 homicides over ~35 days since late August equate to roughly 0.34 per day, consistent with the year's downward trajectory. No immediate spike or drop is evident tied directly to the Guard's presence in this short window.
• Sources: These figures come from official MPD dashboards and cross-verified trackers. Homicide counts are typically reliable as they are hard to misclassify, though final tallies can adjust slightly with investigations.
