(Oklahoma City-AP) -- Oklahoma City police have linked suspects and condemning evidence to all 17 of this year's homicides.

Police say a 100% success rate is rare.

The perfect record comes just four months after the department's worst record. Last year, it cleared about 76 percent of the city's 56 homicides.

Police attribute the improvement to better witness cooperation.

Oklahoma City police Maj. Keith Mann says the homicide unit detectives have worked hard to clear the cases.

Retired police officer Tom Bevel thinks the suspects will probably get convicted because the district attorney's office has filed charges.
