LOUIS - St. Louis saw a historic decrease in crime in the first two months of 2025, with 15 homicides through March 2, 2025, a decrease of 16 compared to the same period of 2024, a year in which the city saw the fewest homicides in 11 years. Violent crime was down across the board, including a 36% decrease in burglaries, 42% decrease in auto thefts, and 53% decrease in shooting incidents. “One life affected by violent crime is one too many, which is why it is extremely encouraging to see the amount of violent crime continue to drop drastically in St. Louis,” said Mayor Tishaura O.
