Perhaps for the first time since the late 1970s, the number of criminal homicides in Memphis in a year will not reach 100.
On Friday afternoon, New Year's Eve, the number of victims for 2010 stood at 93, according to Memphis police.
That's a dramatic drop -- 31 percent -- from a total of 135 crime killings in 2009.
