Drugs Claim More Black Lives Than Guns Do, Statistics Show

ST. LOUIS – At an annual New Year’s Eve vigil, police Chief John Hayden revealed that while there were an alarming 194 homicides last year, 108 more people than that died of drug overdoses in the city of St. Louis. 

And as if 302 overdose deaths aren’t already mind-blowing, the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department said it was important to note that the final number for last year hasn’t come in yet. 

The final tally won’t be available until, maybe, March or April, because of the length of time it takes to confirm the deaths by toxicology tests.

To track the numbers, the SLMPD works with the Medical Examiner’s Office, City and State Health Departments and the Fire Department. (more …)
