“This quarter, we saw 54 murders across the five boroughs, a drop from the previous record low of 60 set in 2018. When you compare these figures to last year, which had already set historic lows for gun violence, Murders fell by a significant 28% year to date. The murder rate is down by more than 57% in Brooklyn, more than 44% in Manhattan, and there have been no murders on Staten island in 2026.” (01:36–01:41)
