Fatal shootings rose by 53%, with December shootings totaling 50, compared with just 19 a year earlier. According to the Cook County Medical Examiner s office, 78% of the gun violence victims were Black. The county also reported a record 16,049 total deaths in 2020 a huge jump largely due to coronavirus fatalities. In May, Chicago experienced its deadliest Memorial Day weekend in five years, with 49 people shot 10 of them fatally. On May 31 alone, there were 18 homicides, more than any single day in memory, according to The Associated Press. The increase in violent crime has been blamed on myriad factors, including the stress of the COVID-19 pandemic, state and local restrictions, an unprecedented economic crisis, and the deaths of Black men and women at the hands of law enforcement.
