Chicagoโs Domestic Homicides Surged Last Year Even As Overall Violent Crime Dropped
Martina Mosby was the first of at least 63 people killed in domestic homicides in 2025. Experts say the increase is in part due to federal funding cuts to victim services programs.
While homicides and most violent crime decreased in Chicago in 2025...domestic violence climbed. Domestic fatal shootings specifically rose by 50%.
Martina Mosby was one of 63 people killed in a domestic violence homicide last year.

Logan Square's Highly Anticipated 2-Way Traffic Circle Pattern To Open Next Week
The updated pattern adds safer pedestrian crossings, improves traffic flow and allows for parts of the square to more easily close for community events, officials said.
Get ready! Two-way traffic around Logan Square is set to begin Nov. 6. Itโs arguably the most anticipated part of the project โ and the most confusing. Since it's been a long time coming, I broke down how the new pattern will work and why the city chose a two-way design.
