Baton Rouge, LA set a record, but not the kind of record they were hoping to set. That is my guess anyway. 3 dead in string of deadly shootings over Thanksgiving week: 'It's getting worse and worse' | Crime/Police
Now at 134 homicides since Jan. 1, Baton Rouge has well surpassed 2020's previous record of 114 killings with still more than a month left in 2021.
Some longtime residents around this week's shootings said the uptick is noticeable.
There are various details on the year's most recent murders, and a few shootings. And then there is a quote from someone who works in the neighborhood where one of the murders took place.
When the man arrived at his workplace early Wednesday, he said much of the street was flooded with police and crime scene tape.
He said the body lay just yards from an adjacent strip of businesses.
The violence, he said, "it's getting worse and worse."
That can be said about a lot of places.
