Lansing’s Gun Violence Decline

Lansing’s gun violence has plummeted since 2021—fatal shootings down 70%, overall shootings down 58%—thanks to a powerful partnership between police and community groups. The Mikey 23 Foundation leads the charge by teaching youth trade skills and guiding formerly incarcerated adults toward jobs and mentorship, breaking cycles of crime. Other key players like the Lansing Empowerment Network, The Village, Moms Demand Action, and Brotherhood Against Drugs are also making strides. For families like Miranda Hinton’s, who lost her son Marcus Jackson to violence in 2020, these numbers offer hope—and proof that community-driven solutions are building a safer, stronger Lansing.
