FBI UCR Homicide Data — 19 recorded incidents
Greenwood, Louisiana has recorded 19 homicides over the tracked period, with 24 victims identified. Tracking continues through 2026. The city ranks #260 among 339 U.S. cities tracked by the FBI, with a clearance rate of 16% — meaning an arrest or suspect identification was made in 3 of those incidents, while 8 remain open. The weapon mix skews toward firearm - handguns (roughly 37% of cases with weapon data), with unknown, personal weapons (hands, fists, feet), blunt object as the next-most-frequent categories. Reporting is dominated by Greenwood Police Department, which filed 19 incident reports. The annual homicide count runs 80% below the per-city average for the FBI's tracking universe. Louisiana's statewide firearms policy — permitless carry and the habitual offender law — is part of the regulatory backdrop for the local dynamic, even as the city-level pattern is shaped most directly by community-level conditions and the broader opioid and fentanyl crisis.
