You have to be careful with Las Vegas, they have a metropolitan police department which means the numbers you have are not for the 580,000 people that live in Las Vegas but for the 2,000,000 that live in Clark County. So the actual rate is 111/5.55.
Here is where the 111 murders happened. -https://www.google.com/maps/place/Las+Vegas,+NV/@36.1516984,-115.2772537,11z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x80c8c45e5468d0ed:0xf98463eab8414 b62!8m2!3d36.1147195!4d-115.1727676
I lived in Las Vegas and not that I know that much about Las Vegas but it is the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Jurisduction total.
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Jurisdiction is Clark County minus the cities of Henderson, North Las Vegas and Mesquite.
Henderson, North Las Vegas and Mesquite are in Clark County and fund their own police departments.
The city of Las Vegas is counted in the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Jurisdiction numbers as the city funds the department based on the percentage of crime in the city of Las Vegas as opposed to the county minus Henderson, Las Vegas and Mesquite.
Henderson, North Las Vegas and Mesquite have their own police department and counted seperately.
The Las Vegas Metro Police Jurisdiction is about three-quarters of the population of Clark County.
Both Richmond and Norfolk saw increases in shootings and murders in August:
Richmond currently has 43 murders this year for a rate of 19.55 per 100k. Norfolk has 34 murders this year for a rate of 13.82 per 100k. Norfolk is only 2 murders shy of last year's total (36) with 4+ months to go, while Richmond surpassed it's 2015 total (40) about a week and a half ago...

Louisville is on pace for an all time record number of homicides. 75% through 2016 and the total is at 80, on pace for over 100. I remember many entire years with 45 to 60. Working class neighborhoods are also being decimated by heroin, ERs are have to add staff at night to keep from being overwhelmed. The more affluent half of the city is doing as good as always but I've never seen the other half in such bad shape.
Some cities are seeing increase in shooting victims but homicides are still down, while other seeing increase in both.
