Boston Releases Preliminary Crime Data for Oct. 23–24
Boston released preliminary crime data for the 24-hour period from Friday, October 23rd, 2026, through Saturday, October 24th, 2026, detailing incidents of robbery, aggravated assault, larceny, and auto theft, with no homicides reported during that time.
Boston, MA, October 24, 2026 —
Boston released preliminary crime data covering the 24-hour period from Friday, October 23, 2026, through Saturday, October 24, 2026. The data detailed incidents of robbery, aggravated assault, larceny and auto theft. No homicides were reported during the period.
The information provided identifies the offense categories but does not include incident counts. It also does not specify where within Boston the reported incidents occurred, or provide details about individual cases. The number of incidents in each category therefore cannot be determined from the available summary.
The data was described as preliminary. The summary does not explain how it may be updated, whether the figures have been reviewed or verified, or how they compare with crime data from other periods. It also does not provide information about arrests, suspects, injuries, investigations or the circumstances of any reported incident.
The absence of reported homicides applies specifically to the 24-hour period covered by the release. It does not, on its own, provide information about homicide reports outside that timeframe. Likewise, the listed categories describe the scope of the data but do not establish how many incidents were reported for any one offense.
Because counts and further details were not included in the summary, the release offers a limited snapshot of reported crime categories for the stated period. Additional information about totals, locations, case status or revisions was not provided.
