St Louis was out of control in 2020 beginning the year with 7 homicides not even the first 2 days then it calmed down a bit even when covid struck it was going to be a below than average year but in April more teen homicide deaths and while not blaming BLM or anti police sentiment but the pandemic, Missouri's lax COVID restrictions, and Missouri's weak gun laws homicides were daily in June, 53 in July, calmed down a bit in august, september, but went up in november and December and nearly broke the modern high of 267 by 4 homicides.
