Homicides are down in Prince George’s Co. — but not by enough, police chief says

Though violent crime in Prince George’s County, Maryland, dropped in 2024 — the county still saw over 100 murders. The county’s police chief hopes those numbers keep going down in 2025.

According to Prince George’s County crime data, 113 homicides were committed in 2024 — a 5% decrease from the previous year, according to Chief Malik Aziz.

“It should be noted that we had 21 domestic-related homicides in our county,” Aziz said at a press conference detailing the county’s crime data.
