The City of Milwaukee has officially set a grim milestone once again.
A 43-year-old man was killed near Hopkins and Hampton in Milwaukee around 1:30 Saturday morning in the 4700 block of N. 37th Street.
It’s the 194th homicide in Milwaukee this year. That is a new record for the city, which it has broken each of the last three years.
At this point last year, there were 170 homicides, and 171 in 2020.
Data from the Milwaukee Police Department shows homicides are up 13% from last year.
