"Sol Prendido" for Borderland Beat
Although figures show a slight decrease, the city has more murders than the entire state.
Despite the slight decrease in homicides achieved by authorities after implementing various security operations and strategies, Ciudad Juárez continues to be the most violent city in the entire state of Chihuahua.
Figures published by the Trust for Competitiveness and Citizen Security (FICOSEC) show a comparison of the period from January to August 2024 and 2025, with nearly 100 fewer accumulated cases.
As of August of this year, this agency has recorded a total of 663 murders in Ciudad Juárez, while in the same period last year the tally reached 764.
In turn, 2024 closed with a total of 1,105 homicides on this border, while the city of Chihuahua reached 425 cases, placing it in second place, followed by Cuauhtémoc with 126.
From January to August of this year, Chihuahua remained in second place with 218 murders, while Cuauhtémoc had a total of 54 homicides, which represents only 32% and 8% of the cases compared to Juárez.
For authorities, the west and southeast of the city continue to be the areas with the most violence, as they are where most homicides are committed, mainly among members of criminal cells.
It is worth noting that this year, the Attorney General's Office discovered several clandestine graves in different areas of the city, mainly in the southeast of the urban area, the cases of which are being investigated.
These figures are shared by the Northern District Attorney's Office with FICOSEC, which in turn makes them public through its official website, which demonstrates that there have been no major changes in the issue of violence.

Congratulations
ReplyDeleteNM & Borderplex alliance is utilizing initiatives to create more pedestrian friendly urban planning parameters, including in Juarez.
ReplyDeleteThese are:
1). The Human Centered Street Design
such as:
•Pedestrian-only zones
•outdoor seating and,
•engaging storefronts that enhance the walking experience and contribute to a lively city atmosphere
2).Public Transportation Integration
that encourages the use of sustainable transportation alternatives by offering efficient public transit connections between:
•walking routes and buses
•walking routes and trams and,
•walking routes and metro stations
3). Mixed Use Developments
so that essential services such as grocery markets, schools and workplaces are within walking distances of residential, commercial and recreational spaces.
4). Landscaped and Open Spaces
that create inviting urban environments and utilize hardscape for pedestrians to enhance walk ability, reduce urban heat and provide areas for relaxation and social activity.
5). Safe and Accessible Pathways
for well connected walkers and cyclists that include:
•wide sidewalks
•designated crosswalks and
•clearly delineated do-not-block street markings for traffic calming measures
the drop in the Juarez FICOSEC score is probably related to the municipal efforts of their community leaders that successfully managed recent initiatives in its binational regions of:
•El Paso, Texas,
•southern New Mexico, and
•Ciudad Juarez,Mexico
For the areas of:
•economic development
•transportation and,
•basic infrastructure projects
Juarez seems to be a pedestrian friendly city. These type of cities usually foster social interaction, increased local economies and encourage active lifestyles.
