Most homicide victims in many US cities are Black, key data shows
|
[FoxNews] At least 16 U.S. cities witnessed record-high homicide rates in 2021, while New York, Chicago and Los Angeles, saw notable homicide spikes. Who were the victims in these American cities?
New data provided by Freedom of Information Act requests and analyzed by Fox News shows Black males were overwhelmingly the No. 1 demographic killed in most cities.
Killed by White Supremacists and Killer Cops right? No?
In Chicago, which tallied the most homicides since 1996, 648 of the city’s 797 homicide victims were Black.
In Baton Rouge, Louisiana, 105 of the city’s 133 homicides were Black males. In Columbus, Ohio, 135 of the city’s 204 homicides were of Black males. In Louisville, Kentucky, 133 of the city’s 197 homicide victims were Black males. In St. Paul, Minnesota, 17 of the city’s 38 homicides were of Black males.
In Los Angeles, 397 people were killed in 2021 — the most in a year since 2007. Hispanic males were the top demographic killed in L.A. last year, 183 in total, in a city that has a much larger Hispanic than Black population.
Fox News spoke to Eric Siddall, a prosecutor in Los Angeles DA George Gascón’s office and vice president of the Association for Deputy District Attorneys in Los Angeles. Siddall is a registered Democrat and calls himself a socially "liberal," but he said he blames Gascón’s policies for L.A.’s homicide and crime spike.
"One of the big drivers of crime in Los Angeles are guns and gangs and right now, this district attorney has basically said we cannot prosecute people for gang crimes and is not interested in prosecuting people for gun crimes, and that has really led to this surge in homicides," Siddall said.
He added that similar policies nationwide have affected people of color – primarily Black men.
"Right now, the system, especially certain types of district attorneys, are siding with the criminal over the victim," Siddall said.
Fox News reached out to Gascón’s office for comment about this case but did not hear back. At a news conference touting his accomplishments this past December, Gascón explained his philosophy of prosecuting L.A.’s crime, saying a "punishment-based" approach did not serve L.A. well.
"I have begun to transform the criminal legal system in ways that holds people accountable while serving the residents of Los Angeles County with fairness and humanity," Gascón said.
