LA was at 116 homicides + 4 officer involved (likely to be rulled justifiable) homicides, for a total of 120 at June 22.
Broken down by parts of the city: Central and Northeast LA: 17 (Central Division 5, Rampart Division 4, Northeast Division 2, Olympic Division 4, Wilshire Division 0, Hollywood Division 2)
East LA: 9 (Only the portion in LA city limits- Hollenbeck Division 9)
West LA: 4 West LA Division 2, Pacific Division 2)
South LA: 59(Newton Division 14, Southwest Division 7, 77th Street Division 20, Southeast Division 18)
Harbor: 9 (Harbor Division 9)
East Valley and Verdugos: 11 (North Hollywood Division 3, Van Nuys Division 3, Mission Division 2, Foothill Division 3)
West Valley: 11 (West Valley Division 6, Devonshire Division 4, Topanga Division 1)
The west valley is kind of surprising given it is generally thought of as more affluent than the East Valley (With the exception of the East Valley hoods of Toluca Lake, Studio City, and Sherman Oaks). For the Devonshire numbers, I remember a triple homicide at a drug dealers large home in a wealthy gated community in Porter Ranch, so that accounts for those numbers. I don't remember hearing anything about Reseda or Encino, so I wonder what is up with those West Valley Division numbers.
Of the non officer involved victims citywide that the Los Angeles Times lists ethnicity data on, 50 were hispanic (43.9% of homicide victims, 48.5% of the population), 9 were white (7.9% of homicide victims, 28.7% of the population, 1 was Asian/Pacific Islander (0.9% of homicides, 11.3% of the population), and 54 were African American (47.4% of homicide victims, 9.6% of the population). The one Asian victim was recent, a 70 year old Filipino guy who was attacked by a presumed homeless guy near a Metro Gold-Line station who died of head injuries.

Could you breakdown the population count for each part of the city?
It seems L.A has become very safe

I'd love to have that info, but it'd be a little more challenging to put together, especially since patrol districts don't necessarily follow neighborhood lines. They work well enough to group by city region, but there are a few districts that sit in a couple of regions of the city, which I just assigned to the region where the majority of the district lies. Hollenbeck, for example cover East LA neighborhoods like Boyle Height, but stretches into some Northeast LA neighborhoods like Montecito Heights. Harbor Division includes part of the Harbor Gateway Shoestring which is more South LA. Northeast Division covers Northeast LA neighborhoods like Eagle Rock and Glassel Park, but also covers dense Central LA neighborhoods like East Hollywood, Los Feliz, Silver Lake, and Echo Park. Foothill covers both the neighborhoods in the Verdugos like Tujunga and areas in the Northeast San Fernando Valley like Sylmar. I'll try to put together some rough estimates, but it'll take a little time. Central and NE LA will be the most populous area of the city.
LA County averaging 600-700 homicides a year now. Down from 2,589 at its peak in 1992.
I imagine Greater LA with San Bernardino and Orange counties sees around 1,000 homicides a year.
LA is probably the murder capital in raw numbers on a metro level. Chicago may have had more in 2016 and possibly 2017.
Per capita Chicago metro is not much worse than LA from what I can tell though.
New York metro sees 500-600 a year now. Definitely the lowest by far between the three.
