How The Murder Pie is Sliced

Of the 123 homicides in the greater Orlando area for this year with only six days left, there were many homicides that were sprinkled around, but there was also obvious concentrations, and here is how that concentrated murder pie is sliced:

Leading is Pine Hills with 18 murders (14.63%).

Second is Holden Heights with 10 murders (8.13%).

Third is Texas Avenue and Americana Blvd with 7 murders (5.69%).

Tied for fourth is Mercy Drive and Apopka, with 4 murders each (3.25% each).

Maybe we should change the names in these areas to more accurately represent the senseless violence that is occurring there. Pine Hills is already known as Crime Hills, so maybe we should refer to Holden Heights as, Hold up Heights or Bullet hole em' Heights, and change Mercy Drive to No Mercy Drive, Texas Avenue to Texas Gunfire Massacre Ave, and Apopka to A-pop- a- cap-ka. It should be noted that a large number of the homicides occurred in the area that I refer to as The West of I-4 Corridor.
