Weather Isn't Going to Save This

Homicides for January of this year have already surpassed last year's January totals:

• Twenty-nine homicides have been logged so far this month. Police recorded 28 homicides in January 2011, RedEye data shows.

And if our readers aren't mistaken, this is the fifth straight month that homicides have shown an increase over the past year (September 2011 thru January 2012).

Eleven days to go.
