St. Louis - 119 as of today, 8/5.

If the city's catastrophic spike continues, St. Louis will close out the year with about 200 murders. That's a number the city hasn't seen since the 90s.
Two men killed, 8 wounded in overnight shootings in St. Louis : News

Maybe its New Orleans time to pass the torch. They usually average that many in recent times but St. Louis and Baltimore may be emerging capitals. The competition is thick.

I need to visit Miami!
Well, LA's black population has been dwindling for quite some time now. Its really funny to have visited for the first time back In 2010 and spending time throughout South LA, Inglewood, Hawthorne and Mid City I was actually impressed with the black population of LA.

Keep in mind majority of the black's seem to reside in this little box between the 405/10/91/605 freeways. As soon as you cross over East Compton into east Los Angeles county it turns overwhelmingly Latino.. with the quickness! Haven't been back since 2013, but I noticed a huge decline in their presence along S. Crenshaw and in parts of Inglewood. I guess more are getting attracted to ATL,Vegas, the Texas cities (Dallas, Houston) and Phx.

Kind of sad

I almost never saw a black person on my entire trip to LA and SD it was really odd. The rich parts of LA you almost never see a black face or latino, its most Jewish, white or Middle Eastern and Asian people.

St. Louis had the number one murder rate last year, and it wasn't as bad then either.

I wonder what people in Europe think about our cities. I'm sure St.Louis probably has more murders than London.

St Louis already has more murders this year than London gets in an entire year.
