Gun violence is trending downward this year in the city of Racine.

According to the Racine Police Department, no one has died due to homicide in 2024 to date. It’s a massive turnaround from 2023 when the city saw 13 people die by homicide.

“I attribute its reduction to law enforcement and efforts by our community partners,” said Chief Ramirez in a statement to TMJ4. “Regardless of the downward trend, there are still victims of this violence. The Racine Police Department will not scale back its efforts in reducing gun violence.”
