A body found in an abandoned home in Flint has been ruled a homicide by the Flint police, making it the 50th homicide in Flint in less than nine months. This is five times the national average and it is the third time Flint has had 50 homicides in one year since 1990. In a press conference on Wednesday, Mayor Dayne Walling and Police Chief Alvern Lock urged Flint residents to be proactive about crime prevention. They emphasized the anonymous tipline that the city instituted in July 2009 to help investigators. The tipline number is (810) 237-6812.
