AUSTIN (KXAN) — Seven months into 2021, Austin has tied its 2020 total for homicides, at 48. With five months left in the year, the city could surpass that number.

The latest homicide took place Friday, July 23. A man who had been stabbed called 911 and drove to a nearby gas station in south Austin for help, police said. He died shortly afterward.

Forty-eight homicides is the most homicides recorded in at least the last three years. In 2018, there were 35 homicides. In 2019, that number increased to 38. In 2020, the homicide count jumped again, but this time by 10.

So far in 2021, the Austin Police Department has announced 31 arrests in 25 homicides. In three cases, the suspect died. In the very first homicide of the year on Jan. 11, a man was arrested but charges against him were dropped pending further investigation, according to the Travis County district court.

The April 18 shooting counts for three homicides, as former law enforcement officer Stephen Broderick, 41, shot and killed three people, including his ex-wife and adopted daughter.

All but eight homicides were shootings of some sort.
