A new study analyzing the cost of gun violence in Washington, D.C. found taxpayers were on the hook for $1.53 million per homicide in the nation’s capital last year, amounting to nearly $1 billion expenses for all shootings in 2021.
That estimate more than doubled to $3.1 million per homicide involving two suspects. Each shooting that did not involve a fatality cost taxpayers about $783,000 per incident involving one suspect. The estimate per injury shooting with two suspects was about $1.6 million.
