St. Louis police data: Nearly 60% of homicides committed since 2017 are unsolved

[link removed]



Nearly 60% of homicides that occurred in the city of St. Louis since 2017 have gone unsolved, according to data provided by the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department. And even though the department's clearance rates improved in recent years, more than 750 of the murders which occurred since 2017 remain unsolved.



The figures are striking for a city with one of the highest homicide rates in the nation.



The analysis comes after a multiyear battle with the police department over public access to clearance records. APM Reports and St. Louis Public Radio first requested the data in 2020. APM Reports sued the department in 2021.
