Gang Crimes Spike In San Diego | Greg Moran, Lyndsay Winkley

After a year of declines, gang-related crime in San Diego has spiked in recent months with the city logging twice as many homicides as the same time last year and 20 percent more gang-related crimes overall. A spate of shootings, retaliation attacks and other crimes has put the raw number of gang-related crimes this year far ahead of the number through July 2018. Police statistics show there were 463 gang-related crimes committed through June, up from 385 during the same period last year. That increase of 78 crimes is reflected in nearly all categories. https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/public-safety/story/2019-09-02/gang-crimes-spike-in-san-diego
