Is that why there wasn’t a crowd there when I gassed up yesterday?
Former P is right!
In 2018 2 homicides… In 2019 there were 4 homicides. 2020 3 homicides….
2 so far in 2021
.
And for the record, Code D never gave a timeframe of those 3-5 homicides. In the last 3 years he’s right. The town is gradually getting worse because it’s a dump!!!
According to FBI crime stats; Atmore averages 1.35 homicides a year. That’s data for 20 years from 2000 to 2019 (the last year stats are available). Since 2010, Atmore averages less that 1 homicide a year (.9). Still pretty high per capita, but nowhere near the 3-5 posted.
If you go to the top of Northeacambia home page to the search bar, and type “Atmore Murder or Atmore Homicides”, It will prove most of you completely IGNORANT to your surroundings. If any of you did your research in other sources and be not ignorant and lazy you would discover there is a lot more crime in Atmore that Northescambia does not cover.
Not Atmore, maybe in Century, but Atmore is usually quite.
Code Dall – where are you getting your information from?
3-5 homicides annually in Atmore? Since when? Atmore had 10 murders total from 2006-2017 (the last year I could find data for). That’s ~1 per year.
Fingerprints off nozzle?. Debit card wouldnt work
SHOCKED… NOT!!! That little town usually has 3-5 homicides annually, if not more; and constantly having gun shots ringing through the streets. Per capita crime stats reveal it’s no better than any other high crime city in the nation. APD NEEDS TO STEP IT UP!
