How Many Homicides In San Antonio 2023 |
So, How Many Folks Got Iced in the Alamo City Last Year?
Here's the skinny: San Antonio saw a cool 165 homicides in 2023. Now, before you grab your fainting couch, that's actually good news compared to the previous year's bloodbath (which, let's be honest, was partly due to that whole tragic trailer incident).
But wait, there's more!
QuickTip: Read actively, not passively.
This decrease might have less to do with San Antonians suddenly becoming pacifists and more to do with... wait for it... a Kia-tastrophe! Yep, you read that right. Car thefts, especially those sweet, sweet Kias, went absolutely bonkers in 2023. Apparently, stealing a car is easier than, you know, resorting to violence.
Moral of the story? Maybe invest in a steering wheel lock for your Kia, folks.

Deep Dive: What Were People Arguing About?
According to the San Antonio Police Department (SAPD), the leading cause of these homicides? Believe it or not, it was just plain old arguments. Seems folks in San Antonio know how to hold a grudge (or maybe they just need to take a anger management class... just sayin').
Side note: If you find yourself in a heated debate about whose turn it is to do the dishes, maybe take a deep breath and suggest ordering takeout instead.
Reminder: Short breaks can improve focus.
So, is San Antonio Safe Now?
Well, that depends. Here's the thing: homicides are down, but property crimes are on the rise. So, while you might be less likely to get whacked, your Kia might be a goner.
The good news? San Antonio's still a pretty awesome city with a ton to offer. Just keep your wits about you, don't leave valuables in your car, and maybe avoid those super intense debates about whose turn it is to mow the lawn.
QuickTip: Pause after each section to reflect.
