Thank you for this compilation. It is difficult to find these stats anywhere else.

FBI puts out the stats every year in charts that are easy to read and easy to find. There are 30 years worth of homicide data online, going back to 1980.

The Justice Dept also has tools that make it super easy to search through the homicide data going back to 1980 called "Easy Access to the FBI's Supplementary Homicide Reports: 1980-2018"

And to search domestic violence data through 2016. The stats in this one needs updating, but the options for searching are terrific.
