Officials: Drop in homicides attributed to multiple strategies

A culmination of strategies contributed to a decrease in homicides in Baltimore, the mayor told 11 News. Baltimore is closing out 2023 with a drop in homicides of almost 21% compared to last year. Mayor Brandon Scott told 11 News it's oversimplifying to give credit to one group or strategy, saying it wasn't one thing, but a network of strategies that cut homicides from 327 in 2022 to 259 in 2023, as of Friday morning.
