18th *homicide* victim. "Murder" is a legal term denoting a wrongful, premeditated killing. This could be, for example, manslaughter or justifiable homicide. Barring adjudication, and according to the alleged facts in the police write-up, there is no reason to call it "murder" at this point, and BPD did not.
