KTRK CrimeTracker: There's some percentage of crime downtown, we think

KTRK-13 broke out the CrimeTracker to take a look at downtown crime.

Here's the online report:

Overall, violent crime is up 4%. Of the 138 reported violent crimes, 93 of them happened between 7pm and 7am.

On the 6 pm on-air broadcast, Andy Cerota reported that "about 50%" of those crimes happened between 7pm and 7am.

Obviously, 93 of 138 reported violent crimes is not "about 50%."

So, we're not really sure exactly what Cerota and the CrimeTracker have figured out about downtown.

We did see one woman interviewed, and she accurately described the homeless beggar situation: If you are a female downtown, it's quite likely you'll be approached by the growing hobo population.

That's not very appealing. But hey, at least MayorWhiteChiefHurtt have the renegade downtown jaywalkers under control!
