Former President Trump again called for military intervention, questioning the governor’s response, while Mayor Brandon Johnson condemned the violence—especially on Juneteenth—and pledged accountability. Though police data shows a slight uptick in shootings compared to last year, overall violent crime has declined nationally and locally. Victims included teens as young as seventeen, including a deadly street attack where an SUV opened fire on a crowd, injuring twelve. Investigations are underway.
