Number of homicides in Baltimore this year*
*One of the deaths included in this year's homicide count was a person violently injured during a previous year who died as a result of her injuries this year; another was an infant whose death last year was considered a homicide by medical examiners this year. They became part of the 2015 total.
People are killing people in the streets of Baltimore, nearly every day. In 2015, there were 344 homicides—most of them young black men. If you are a young black man in Baltimore, you are 30 times more likely to die on the streets here than if you had grown up elsewhere in the U.S. (The murder rate in the U.S. nationally is five out of 100,000; the murder rate within the black male population of Baltimore is about 156 per 100,000.)
As a city, we seem to have grown immune to the horror of this. We cope. We decide not to read the news because it is "depressing." Or we read about the killings on our streets—perhaps some of us are regular readers of City Paper's Murder Ink, a column started in 2004 by Anna Ditkoff to chronicle the near-daily deaths of our citizens—and we reflexively note the time of death and location and tell ourselves that we are safe. "I would never be on that street at that time of night," we say, and we scurry from our cars or bus stops when it is late and dark with an eye cast back over our shoulders or do our best to corral our young people inside where they are safe at night. Parents of African-American boys, in particular, worry about the violence and struggle mightily to keep their kids safe, fighting a tide of violence that threatens to consume them.
Or perhaps we simply shrug off the statistics about our homicide rate, saying those felled by violence were criminals and gang members who deserved what they got—a complacency regarding the retributive, vigilante justice of the streets. Such a narrative meshes with the jaded disenchantment in a criminal justice system we have lost faith in.
We move through our days believing that we can keep ourselves and our friends and our families safe from the violence in our city. Or for those who have lost a family member in a shooting, there are recriminations, blame, guilt—and for parents, vows that they will do things differently to keep their remaining children safe.
Reporters in the city hear this story again and again.
Some years ago, I interviewed a father, Bernard Williams, whose 17-year-old son was shot by a neighbor here in Baltimore. (The boy and his friends were dribbling a basketball down the street when they knocked into the neighbor's truck and set off the car alarm; the neighbor, annoyed by harassing kids, jumped out of bed and fired a gun from his window, killing the boy.) The father was plagued with guilt. His reflections on his son's death were peppered with should haves and shouldn't haves. He should not have let his son go out after his curfew. He should've had him spend the night at his mother's apartment as they had originally planned. He should've done more to protect his son. He should have been a better parent. He blamed himself for so many things and he struggled to forgive himself—and his son's killer, his neighbor. I interviewed him 14 years after his son's death and he was still haunted by events, would always be haunted.
There is a tendency to try and inoculate ourselves and our families from harm by thinking that we personally could have averted disaster—how much more terrifying to think the violence is random?—and are at fault for failing to do so (like the above father who wrung his hands, wondering why he let his pleading teenage son stay out at a friend's to watch the end of a ball game on TV instead of being inside by his curfew). Or, conversely, for those residents who have not been directly touched by the violence in our streets, we separate ourselves, think of the victims as "the other," and pretend that we have agency, that our decision to avoid this place or that time of night makes us somehow smarter and wiser and allows us to congratulate ourselves for keeping our families safe. But the truth is, we are in this together and our community is to blame. The city of Baltimore has allowed this to happen. We have allowed it to happen.
The reasons are myriad and interconnected: gangs, the drug trade, rampant crime, the school-to-prison pipeline, cuts to after-school programs, the closing of rec centers, high unemployment rates that drive kids to make a fast buck in the drug trade, poverty, a long, enduring history of racism, segregation, failing public schools, high incarceration rates and sparse re-entry programs, police brutality and the attendant lack of trust in law enforcement, the right to bear arms, etc. Baltimore City, as wonderful as it is in many ways, is beset by problems that left 344 of our residents murdered this year.
We are a divided city—by race and class yes, absolutely, but also divided between those who see the victims of violence as "the other" and those who see them as "us." Too many residents simply avert their eyes, rather than rolling up their sleeves to dive in and address any one of the aforementioned problems contributing to the violence. I say this, and yet there is this other part of Baltimore, the many residents who have been working for decades to address the homicide rate and the overlapping issues mentioned above, volunteers and neighborhood organizations and foundations trying to tackle this problem on a shoestring, limping along with limited resources and a skeletal staff. (We include a partial, admittedly incomplete list of some of those organizations at the end of this page in case readers wish to get involved.) These are the people who understand in a profound way there is no "other," there is only "us."
They are also the people who understand that Baltimore City is at a crisis point.
And yet, how to convey that clearly, visually, irrefutably so that all of Baltimore sees?
The editorial staff at City Paper looked to the Vietnam Memorial for inspiration this week for the following reasons:
Because almost every day the police department announces the latest homicide, because every week the paper runs the death tally in Murder Ink, because there were more homicides this year than in the previous 22, because the numbers keep rising, because each single homicide is the story of a life with a ripple effect on a family and neighborhood, because we wish we could do a proper obituary for each person killed but lack the editorial resources, because we wish to acknowledge each death, because we are hopeful that cumulative murders and the visual impact of sheer numbers and names will move readers to action, because we have faith in this city and its ability to do so much better than it does, because we hope people will be shocked out of their complacency, because something has to change, we have dedicated this entire issue to a list of the 344 murders in Baltimore this year. There will be no arts coverage, no columns, no photos.
We are in mourning.
