No, I'm not looking at "Floyd effect" vs lockdown, etc., and I haven't spent a lot of time on homicide vs other causes because it's smaller than ones like drug ODs.
Interesting. But. One of the problems for us "Covid truth seekers" is that, whatever indicator you choose, there will always be counter-example countries (even if you restrict to "the West"). There has not been much of an increase in homicides in Germany, for example - but then, homicides are much rarer around here (the USA has ten times more homicides but only four times more people).
I've done some analysis re: homicides here:

That's by state.
