- Colorado's homicides dropped to a five-year low of 266 in 2024.
- Domestic violence fatalities rose to 72, a 37 percent increase from the prior year.
"This sharp increase against the backdrop of an overall decline in homicides underscores the unique and growing lethality of domestic violence,"
According to the annual report released by Attorney General Phil Weiser's office, the increase in domestic violence fatalities suggests that public safety interventions may not be having the same impact on domestic violence as on general violence.
