        I think you're right, and now that I look more closely the first one was before midnight so it doesn't count either. Only three people died on New Years' Day, and one of them died of a stab wound a few minutes after midnight so I guess the murder technically didn't happen that day. It looks like only two actual murders happened that day. Lame

          Chicago (pop. 2.7 million) had its first murder of 2012 in the early hours of January 2nd. Gang-related.

          January 2, 2012 (CHICAGO) (WLS) -- A 19-year-old Harold Washington College student is Chicago's first murder victim of the year. Nicholas Camacho, 19, was out with several friends early Monday morning when they stopped in an alley in the 3200-block of West Lawrence. Camacho was a passenger in a vehicle.

            I was kinda bummed by the thread thinking of the baby Jesus crying, and then

            what I really like is the guy who was shot "six to nine times".

            That is one lazy ****ing pathologist

              Ridiculous. How many murders today in your city?
              None, as normal.

                Ours was on Jan 2 too. A former boyfriend decided to kill his ex-girlfriend and her brother (whose house she was staying at) after which he killed himself. If you want to blow your brains out then just do it but don't take innocent people with you.

                  Some Indian guy was indiscrimately shot in the head on Boxing Day, but nothing since then that I am aware of.

                        But Mogadishu doesn't have Alby, so it wins out.

                          As it turns out, there were over a dozen deaths, although none were murders. They were suicides over the prospects of yet another year in Philly.

                            We had 4 for all of last year, that's for ~250000 people.
