PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner says there are 92 fewer homicides to date than there were around this time last year -- that's about a 19% drop.

At a news conference Monday, Krasner asked for the public's help in locating 12 fugitives wanted for homicides committed in South and Southwest Philadelphia since 2019.

Krasner talked about the importance of finding every one of them.

"For the sake of public safety, for the sake of the survivors," Krasner said, "because of the arm that they did to victims. But also for the sake of law enforcement."

If you recognize these people and know their whereabouts, you're urged to call the police department's crime tip line.
