Seattle has officially broken its previous homicide record in recent history. 

There have been 70 homicides so far in 2023. The previous record, based on Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs records dating back to 1979, was set in 1994, with 69 homicides. 

The 70th homicide victim died this month from injuries related to a stabbing in late June. Officers from the Seattle Police Department's West Precinct responded to reports of an assault at around 11:30 a.m. on June 26 where they found a victim with significant injuries. Officers located the suspect a block away from the crime scene, who then tried to assault an officer as they were getting taken into custody. 

The suspect was charged with second-degree assault in June. The charges had not been amended as of Wednesday.
