How many homicides were there in the usalast year?

As of my last update in October 2023, the final number of homicides in the U.S. for the previous year (2022) was reported to be around 22,000, continuing a trend of elevated homicide rates seen since 2020. However, for the most accurate and up-to-date statistics, it's advisable to consult official sources such as the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting Program or the CDC.
