Some easy clarity here.
The KC black population commits proportionally a LOT more murders than do other ethnic groups. But at the same time, a LOT more murder *victims* are black as well.

30% of murderers are black males, 12% are white males, and importantly, 55% are unknown.
59% of *victims* are black males, 20% are white males, and 10% are black females. All told, 69% of victims are black.
Since victims are typically killed by people of their same race, the assumption should be that the majority of the 55% of unknown murderers are black.
This might boost the percentage of black murderers to (my guess) around 50% or more of all murderers.
And throwing in the red herring of Hispanics was intentional, because only 6% of the victims were Hispanic, and 0% were known murderers.
There are believed to be approximately 3055 gang members or affiliates in Kansas City, Missouri. There are over 442 different gangs in the area, however many of these consist of only a few members.
Many times Hispanics are labelled White in crime statistics, especially when they are the perps. Just look at the wanted posters for any Mid-western town or city. Jose and Pedro, who look like bandito extras off the set of a Hollywood Western, are invariably listed a 'White'.
