The murder rate got a great kick start here because it has been rather warm all winter. Lucky for us that live in South Philly we have nothing to really worry about south of Snyder ave. I don't think we had more than 4 or 5 murders in that area in the last 5 years aside from a bar stabbing and the alleged mob hit 2 summers ago.

I live in Girard Estate and the last murder I can recall was the Phil Testa hit over 30 years ago.
