With the number of homicides throughout Bernalillo County on pace to tie or surpass last year’s record high, the Journal is introducing an interactive informational map showing the locations of this year’s killings.

As of this writing, the year-to-date tally of 43 homicides in the city limits is slightly ahead of last year’s 40. By the end of 2017 there had been 75 killings — the highest in recent history.

In the county there were an additional five homicides so far this year, a number that already matches last year’s total.

The map is sorted into two categories: solved (either by arrest or the death of a suspect) and unsolved.
