In 2023 there were 151 homicides in Columbus Ohio, 85% of those victims died from gunshot wounds.
In January 2024, Mothers Of Murdered Columbus Children launched a new initiative, ‘Operation Under Triple Digits’, to keep Columbus homicides under 100 in 2024.
As of December 17, 2024 there have been 121 homicides in Columbus Ohio. My son, John Wilks, was the 61st homicide victim this year. He died on July 28, 2024 at 10:25 PM from gun violence (7 shots in total)
While the ‘Operation Under Triple Digits’ initiative may have fallen short of it’s goal in 2024, there has been a decrease in Columbus homicides from last year which demonstrates their efforts were effective and these brave Mothers definitely deserve to be commended.
Let us all pray, starting TODAY, this year’s homicide number in Columbus Ohio stays at 121
Keep Fighting Columbus! Not ONE MORE IN 2024!
We’ll soon close this chapter and begin a new year. With that come a new motto as quoted by Mothers Of Murdered Columbus Children Co-Founder Malissa Thomas – St-Clair ….
“LET’S STAY ALIVE IN 2025!”
