Crime in Baltimore City
On Friday, November 21, police reported that 120 people had been killed in Baltimore in 2025, compared to 176 at the same point in 2024. There have been 278 gunshot injuries this year, down from 369 during the same timeframe last year.
Data from the CBS News Gun Violence Tracker shows approximately 2,200 victims of gun violence in Baltimore City within the past 12 months, including deadly shootings, non-fatal incidents, and threats involving firearms.
Over the past year, 446 people have been shot in Baltimore City. Most victims were between 22 and 25 years old. During that period, 33 people under 25 were killed in shootings and another 141 were injured.
In early November, Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott highlighted the city’s decline in gun violence for 2025. He said Baltimore has seen a 31.7% drop in homicides and a 22% decrease in non-fatal shootings.
The mayor also noted declines in other crime categories, including an 11% reduction in aggravated assaults, a 30% drop in auto thefts, a 34% decline in carjackings, and a 29% decrease in robberies compared to last year.
“This progress is not a coincidence,” Mayor Scott said. “The reductions we are seeing are the direct result of everyone – the brave men and women of the Baltimore Police Department, our community violence intervention ecosystem, my Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement, the Office of the Attorney General, the State’s Attorney’s Office, and most importantly, our residents – working together toward a shared vision for a safer, stronger Baltimore.”
