Homicides saw a huge jump in the city of Niagara Falls in 2020.
A nearly 300 percent jump over prior years. With a five-year average of just 4.6 homicides per year from 2015 to 2019, Niagara Falls recorded three times that number this year.Â
The most recent murder was recorded in mid-December when a 49-year-old man was stabbed near his home on 20th Street.
Among the other killings was a 25-year-old woman who was gunned down at 20th Street and Centre Avenue as she left a memorial for another homicide victim in late September.
