Murders in New York City have reached an all-time low amid a record reduction in major crimes — although there has been a spike in shooting incidents, the NYPD announced Monday.

A total 135 murders were recorded between the beginning of the year and June 30 — significantly lower than the 156 reported murders for the same time period in 2018.

“New York City is the safest big city in America, and it’s as safe as it’s ever been in modern times,” NYPD Commissioner James O’Neill said in a statement announcing the numbers.

“But the hardworking members of the NYPD know that to make our achievements meaningful for everyone we have to make this record-breaking safety a reality in every community we serve. We’re going to do that by continuing to build strong relationships, by relentlessly pursuing those who commit violent crime, by deploying our resources effectively and by constantly evaluating our performance in an effort to do even better.”

The department also reported record lows in reported robberies, burglaries and car thefts for the first half of the year.

Overall crime is down 5.4% for the year compared to the period the year before, though shooting incidents are up 27.1% for June 2019, NYPD figures show.

Year-to-date, shootings have spiked 7.1% — even as murders and felony assaults have declined over the same period — while subway crime ticked up 0.5% and public-housing crime rose 3%, data show.

Gunplay incidents for the first six months of the year shot up from 337 in 2018 to 361 this year, according to the NYPD data.

Manhattan North — which begins at 59th Street — drove the uptick with 34 shootings reported year-to-date in 2018 and 50 in 2019, a 47% spike. The borough had 59 total shooting incidents.

Shootings rose modestly in Brooklyn, Queens and on Staten Island, while the Bronx actually saw five fewer incidents, with 95 reported for 2019.

While Brooklyn only posted five more shootings this year, its 141 incidents for the year are driving the city’s numbers, according to Chief of Department Terence Monahan.

“Twenty percent of the entire city shootings so far this year have occurred in four precincts: the 73, the 75, the 77 and the 79 Precinct,” Monahan said, referring to the commands roughly covering Brownsville, East New York, Crown Heights and Bedford-Stuyvesant.

He did not provide the number of shooting incidents in each precinct but said 28 of them were gang related.

Monahan noted that the department has sent 80 officers to the four precincts as part of its Summer All-Out program.
