From what I counted and the death tonight of a male subject who walked into St. Joes hospital talking, and then died, there has been almost 30 murders in the city itself.
This does not include the pockets of the city that are really in Stockton but are considered the county. I could be off, but I know that I my count is not that far off. If we have 30 murders this year one person out of every 8833 thousand has died of a murder this year alone in our city. Mayor Ann Johnston will deny that Stockton has a high murder rate, and that those people who make the statistics showing just how low are city is getting, because they have never visited Stockton--their data is suspect or incorrect.
Tonight alone there has been two stabbings, and at least two shootings, with one person dead as a result. I would say this would be considered a violent night, this does not even take into consideration all the domestic calls, or robberies, or other violent crimes.
