More than 60% of the increase in firearm homicides had occurred by the time George Floyd was killed
Smoothed seasonally adjusted weekly firearm homicides compared to a historical baseline, December 30, 2017, to December 25, 2022. Smoothed using the best fitting model (a tricube kernel with an 18-week bandwidth) and includes model estimates for 95% confidence intervals. The baseline (horizontal dashed line) was defined as the average seasonally adjusted weekly homicide count between July 2018 and December 2019 (272 firearm homicides). Key event dates are represented by dashed vertical lines: red for the declaration of COVID-19 as a national emergency and widespread shutdowns (March 13, 2020), orange for George Floyd’s death (May 25, 2020), and yellow for National Election Day (November 3, 2020).
