They don't have press conferences, raise the bridges to stop traffic out of the city, put out (this many) ground units to question and collect evidence for every murder in New York. Not by a long shot. The location of the murder and identity of the victim are playing a big factor in this. Because coverage happened, they're responding. If there were 270 news articles written about Non-Descript-Murdered-Citizen #6hey might give it the same attention.

There were 808 murders in New York in 2020. Did you see this response from those deaths, do you recall?

I mean, yes you're correct on all points, but 2020 is a really bad year to pick. They kinda had people dropping dead all over the city to the point of mass graves. Pretty sure that might have stretched the emergency services just a teensy bit.

According to This, there were 29 murders in New York in October of this year. How many of those got the same treatment?
