This article does say 26.  But a previous ADN article had a chart that said there were 27 homicides at the end of August.  Link below.  So this is 28 if you go by ADN's previous chart.  Still not 3/4 of the way through the year.  So a new murder record this year for sure. I can still see Berky's stern face telling us during his campaign how he was going to get tough on crime.  Yeah right, the numbers tell the story.
