What does that bring the total to for 2020? How many homicides did we have this year?

Based on what I've read, sounds like a domestic dispute that ended badly. Also, the location is north Peoria near Pioneer Parkway, not the South End or East Bluff.

Do you know what exact street this occurred on? I live up by Northpoint and we’ve not heard anything about this.

I read it but don't remember but it wasn't far from Northpoint on the other side of Knoxville.

There was a shooting overnight at Arcadia and Wisconsin which is in the EB.

The last homicide in 2020 will not result in charges against the 17 year old shooter. The states attorney determined it was self defense as the juvenile was protecting his mother from his stepfather. This was reported on WMBD a couple days ago.
