No homicides recorded in San Marcos in 2022

San Marcos officially made it through a full year without a homicide.

The City of San Marcos has not been without a homicide since 2014, according to San Marcos Chief of Police Stan Standridge. In 2021 alone, there were five homicides.

“Folks, you should be dancing on your rooftop to know you had zero homicides,” Standridge said during the Chief’s Advisory Panel meeting on Wednesday. “At a time when everybody's homicide rates are going up, violence all across the nation's going up, your city experienced zero homicides. That's the focus of the community, and that's the focus of your police department. We're getting healthier; We're getting better.”
