Six people were murdered in a recent 24-hour period beginning Tuesday afternoon in Juarez. One victim was a woman in her 30s who has not yet been identified. The story says she was leaving her house for work. I don’t know exactly where all of the locations are in the city, but the six cases seem scattered in various places from the far eastern area (Zaragoza) to the central commercial district (a bar in a shopping mall near Ave. De la Raza y López Mateos) to poor barrios on the west side (colonia Franja del Río). The article indicates that no arrests were made in any of these cases.

The total number of homicides for the month of August now stands at 25.

En Un Día, Asesinan A 6 En La Ciudad (El Diario)

Update 3:32 PM August 21, 2014:

Chihuahua Governor Duarte said that Juarez has gone a full year with NO kidnappings reported.  He was in the city for the celebration of the 40th anniversary of the maquiladora association, now known as Index.  Considering that national statistics show kidnappings on the rise, it is hard to believe that there have not been any kidnappings in Juarez.  As most reports have indicated, less than 10% of kidnappings even get reported to authorities. Duarte was asked about the 6 murders reported yesterday in the city and he said it was normal for such upturns to occur and that the tendency is toward the reduction of homicides.  -Molly
