Now to put Baltimore's current 192 murders in perspective, Chicago has a projected 2017 murder rate of 25 murders per 100K residents, Baltimore is looking at 55 murders per 100K.
"... 97-year-old man ... found slain in his home in East Baltimore."
"Officers ... discovered Wadell Tate unresponsive with trauma to his body. He was pronounced dead at the scene ..."
" .... police spokesman said, “I’m just not certain if hell is enough for this type of person who inflicted this type of harm on a 97-year-old.”
".... He lived in the Darley Park neighborhood in the same house for 61 years...."
"Tate’s wife died three years ago. A family member said she believed Tate had been targeted."
"The neighborhood [along with a large portion of Baltimore] has been declining over the past few years, forcing many people to stay in the home after dark ..."
"Tate’s killing pushes Baltimore’s homicide rate to 192 this year."
