"Since a pandemic spike, homicides of all kinds have plummeted — except for domestic violence deaths. They have stayed persistently high, The Washington Post found. Attacks in which someone kills four or more relatives have risen this year from a 20-year low, with more incidents in the first half of 2026 than all of last year, according to data from Northeastern University.

Over the past near-decade, FBI figures show, the number of attacks in which more than one family member or intimate partner died peaked at 194 in 2022. The total dropped slightly last year, but it was still well above pre-2020 levels even as homicides overall dropped for four years straight."
