Most Homicidal Cities of 2025 List: Mexico Has 17 Cities; U.S. Has Three
Posted on March 18, 2026 by Allan Wall
The Insight Crime website has published its list of homicide rates for mainland Latin American countries (not including the Caribbean islands).

At 50.9 homicides per 100,000, Ecuador had the highest murder rate in Latin America.

See my previous article Mexican Cartels Wreak Havoc in Ecuador and note that the Ecuadorian government is now working closely with the Trump administration to crush the cartels in that South American country.

The second-highest murder rate in Latin America belongs to Brazil, at 19.2 per 100,000,
followed by Guatemala at 17.4, Costa Rica at 16.8 and then Mexico at 15.4

The website has another list for the Caribbean islands and Belize and Guyana. The highest murder rate in that region is Haiti at 68 per 100,000, followed by Turks and Caicos at 57.6.

Those lists are national homicide rates.

There’s another group that calculates murder rates by city.

I have to believe Chuck Schumer and the democrats want the US to help all of our good friends around the world and take in their murderers.  Give them good places to live, good food, the best medical care and provide them with freedom from prosecution.  The latter because they didn't learn better in their native countries so shouldn't be expected to live by American law.

I wondered about that myself. And truthfully I think Dallas will top that list pretty soon. Watching the local news today they detailed all the shootings last night.

I would have expected St. Louis and Baltimore.
