Homicides and shootings in Denver declined significantly during the first seven months of the year, nearing lows not seen for half a decade.⁠ ⁠ The city is on track this year to see levels of homicides and shootings similar to what Denver experienced in 2019, before crime soared to historic highs during the COVID-19 pandemic.⁠ ⁠ Twenty-five people were killed in Denver between January and July, according to data provided by the Denver Police Department. That is a 41% decrease from the 42 people killed in that seven-month time frame in 2024, and a 58% drop from the 60 people killed in that timeframe during the city’s peak violence in 2021.⁠ ⁠ Read more about Denver crime at the link in our bio. ⁠ ⁠ 📝: Shelly Bradbury, The Denver Post⁠ 📷: Helen H.
