The murder rate is now lower than 5oo per year. I didn't look up actual stats but I think that is pretty close. I heard Ray Kelly and Bloomy repeat these figures at every press conference.

what were the cause of all of those murders?

was it from drug crews fighting or just stick-up kids killing the victim
