Stacia Glenn: In Tacoma, homicide numbers are up and the solve rate is down
News Tribune, Tacoma, Wash. 1/10/2021 Stacia Glenn, The News Tribune (Tacoma, Wash.)
Jan. 10 The number of homicides in Tacoma skyrocketed last year, and detectives solved fewer than usual.
It s the first time in three years Tacoma police did not solve all homicides in the city.
There were 32 homicides in 2020, including the death of Manuel Ellis while being restrained by officers. Eight of those cases remain unsolved, giving the Tacoma Police Department a 75 percent clearance rate.
That s the second lowest the department has had in 16 years. The lowest was in 2017 when detectives did not solve four of 12 homicides, making the clearance rate 66 percent.
