Disappearing Murders… in San Antonio

By Nicholas Stix

“Last year, there were 45 slayings in San Antonio through the end of August that were classified by the Police Department as murder investigations, according to data SAPD reported to the FBI. This year’s stats are, so far, much higher but still less than 2012, when the department reported 65 murder investigations through August.

“The numbers do not include slayings classified as justified homicides or manslaughters.” [“Two dead in morning shooting” by Alia Malik, San Antonio Express-News, August 28, 2014; updated August 28, 2014 7:15 p.m.]

Disappearing murders! Just turn them into manslaughter.
