(Nashville, TN)  - GRAMMY, Dove, & Stellar Award-winning gospel singer/songwriter, Jonathan McReynolds releases a brand new album today, Closer (Live in Chicago). Recorded live in his hometown of Chicago, the 13-track project captures the raw emotion, spiritual depth, and musical innovation that have made McReynolds one of the most trusted voices in inspirational music. Closer (Live in Chicago) is available now wherever music is sold and streamed.



Closer is Jonathan McReynolds’ most personal and spiritually centered project to date. A deeply personal body of work, CLOSER serves as an honest reflection of McReynolds’ spiritual journey—an invitation for listeners to pursue a deeper relationship with God. It is an honest journey of pursuing God and getting closer to Him. The album echoes the beloved sincerity of Make Room while ushering in a bold new era of sound. Jonathan fuses 80s pop, acoustic soul, and worship into a modern nostalgia that feels both familiar and revolutionary, proving once again why he remains one of the most trusted voices in inspirational music.


Anchored in transparency, brilliant songwriting, and emotional maturity, Closer reflects where Jonathan is today—spiritually, creatively, and purposefully. Featuring standout collaborations with Tasha Cobbs Leonard, Tim Bowman Jr., Jordan Welch, and Jamal Roberts, the project feels communal yet deeply intimate. At its core, Closer is more than music; it’s a declaration and an invitation—to lean in, evolve, and experience Jonathan McReynolds at his most sincere and most inspired.

U.S. Murder Offenders by Race: 2023 FBI Data

  Data on murders (homicides) committed by race in the United States primarily comes from the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, which relies on reports from law enforcement agencies. The most recent detailed breakdown available is for 2023, but due to the FBI's transition to a new reporting system (NIBRS), not all agencies submitted complete data—only about 70-80% of the population was covered, so totals are undercounts. These figures represent known offenders (where race was identified), not arrests or convictions, and include single-offender and multi-offender incidents. In 2023, there were approximately 15,708 known murder offenders with identified race. Here's the breakdown: Race Number of Offenders Percentage of Known Offenders Rate per 100,000 Population White 8,842 56.3% 3.51 Black or African American 6,405 40.8% 14.00 Other (American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander) 461 2.9% 1.31 Notes on the...
