Houston murder rate skyrockets in early 2015 City's track for 2015 murders predicted at 281
By Joel Eisenbaum - Investigative Reporter

HOUSTON - Houston's murder rate skyrocketed 30 percent in the first nine months of this year, while the clearance rate dipped 6 percent, according to the Houston Police Department's figures.

A clearance rate measures the percentage of cases solved. Exactly 211 murders were recorded in the city of Houston through Sept. 30. That puts the city on track for a predicted total of 281 murders in 2015.

That figure is significantly higher than the 198 murders that Houston had in all of 2011, but significantly lower than 2006's 377 murders.
