FBI UCR Homicide Data — 16 recorded incidents
Havre De Grace, Maryland has recorded 16 homicides over the tracked period, with 19 victims identified. Tracking continues through 2026. The city ranks #283 among 339 U.S. cities tracked by the FBI, with a clearance rate of 13% — meaning an arrest or suspect identification was made in 2 of those incidents, while 10 remain open. The weapon mix skews toward firearm - handguns (roughly 50% of cases with weapon data), with firearm - type unknown, knife/cutting instrument as the next-most-frequent categories. Reporting is dominated by Havre de Grace Police Department, which filed 16 incident reports. The annual homicide count runs 83% below the per-city average for the FBI's tracking universe. Maryland's statewide firearms policy — a permit-to-purchase handgun regime — 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.
