El Diario reports 106 homicides for the month of April. They also report 2
murders yesterday. Another story posted shortly after midnight says that
another victim injured in an attack late last night had died in the
hospital. I’m going to guess the toll is actually 107.
For the statistics, a higher percentage of the victims in April were
women–18; this comes to about 17 percent of the total–higher than in most
of the years since 1993. The total number of female victims for the year so
far: Jan 12; Feb 10; Mar 15; Apr 18 for a total of 55. Overall for the
year, the percent of victims who are women is between 13 and 14 percent of
the total.
Diario reports a total for the year of 411 dead. They have a lower tally
for January than mine. I think the total is closer to 416:
Jan 122; Feb 82; Mar 105; Apr 107
The total number of homicide victims in Juarez since January 2008 is now at
least 10,500.
