I am not sure why this year it is a problem.  hmm.

----------------------------------------------

A severe lockdown began Saturday night and will be in effect for five days between the hours of 9 p.m.-6 a.m. in the following areas:

Everything to the west of Lamokin Street extending to the city’s boundary; all areas bounded by Ninth Street, Morton Avenue and the city’s eastern boundary; everything from Edgmont Avenue to Upland Street between 20th Street and 2701 Madison St.; everything from Crosby Street west to the Upland Borough boundary between 12th Street and 14th Street; and all areas bounded by Penn Street and Parker Street between Third Street and Sixth Street.

According to the proclamation, no person without a “legitimate reason” will be allowed on any public street or in any other public place in those areas at night, and there will be no gathering of three or more people allowed without obtaining a permit./snip

"The city’s 11th homicide Saturday prompted Mayor Wendell N. Butler Jr., to declare a “state of emergency” and institute a police crackdown on five high-crime areas.

“One loss of life is too many, but these 11 have accumulated since the first of the year,” Butler said at a hastily called press conference at City Hall. “We’ve had approximately four in a row, which has certainly heightened our concern, and this moved me to call for action.”"

Did they have as many homicides last year?

I don't know but Chicago has had many more.   This is pretty much Philly.
