Columbus is struggling with crime, like other cities in America. “Unheard of” level of violence has Columbus officials searching for answers
Columbus is the largest city in Ohio.
That city just had its 111th homicide. Last year, that number of homicides wasn't reached until September.
It’s not just homicides that are up. As of July 19, 813 felony assaults occurred in the city so far in 2021, a 20 percent increase from the same day in 2020, when 678 had occurred up to that point.
Another number troubling Columbus Police: the solution rates for violent crimes.
Overall, the clearance rate is about 50 percent. They offer no breakdown by type of crime.
