District\u00a0Attorney Report<\/a>, homicides in Brooklyn are down 37 % compared with the same point in 2025, while shooting incidents have declined 16 %. Brooklyn accounted for\u00a022 fewer homicides, representing 47 % of the city’s overall homicide decline\u00a0and 24 fewer shooting incidents, making up 85 % of the citywide shooting reduction.<\/p>\n“For New York City’s most populous borough to go 29 consecutive days without a murder, during the summer months when violence has historically been at its highest, is an extraordinary achievement that would have been almost unimaginable just a few years ago,” said District Attorney Eric Gonzalez.<\/p>\n
The only homicides in July occurred on July 1 and July 2. No additional killings were reported until Aug. 1, when a woman was found dead in a suspected domestic violence incident. The previous record for the longest homicide-free stretch was 24 days in October 2016. The office also noted that July’s monthly homicide total excludes cases reclassified from previous years.<\/p>\n
Other major crime categories have also declined, with burglaries down 14 %, grand larceny auto down 12.5 %, robberies down 10 % and reported hate crimes down more than 21 %. Reported rape is the only major crime category that has not declined this year, according to the report.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A record-breaking drop in deadly violence marked another milestone in Brooklyn’s ongoing public safety gains.
