An analysis examining killings over the past decade in 52 of the largest cities in the United States found that black victims were less likely than any other racial group to have their killings result in an arrest.
The Washington Post's analysis released Wednesday finds that African Americans accounted for the majority of homicide victims. According to the data, out of the 26,000 killings analyzed across the 52 cities, the victim was black in 18,600 of the cases.
The analysis also found that police arrested someone in just 47 percent of the killings of African-American victims, compared to arrests made in 63 percent of the killings of white victims.
The newspaper found that in Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit and Philadelphia alone, more than 7,300 homicides involving black victims led to no arrests.
But smaller cities, where white residents accounted for the majority, were also found to have a high number of killings of black victims with no arrests made in the past 10 years, including Columbus, Ohio, where 422 such cases were discovered, and Buffalo, N.Y., where 277 were found.
Boston, Mass., was found to have the largest gap in arrests made between homicides involving white victims and those involving African-American victims. According to the analysis, twice the number of cases were solved involving the killings of white residents in the city in comparison to black residents.
Some police officials told The Post that gang and drug-related shootings, which reportedly account for the majority of unsolved cases, are more difficult to solve than other types of killings.
“Let’s face it, when you talk about murder in our urban communities — black and brown, where gang and group violence is prevalent — you got that retaliation piece,” Detroit Police Chief James Craig told The Post.
“And those are the most challenging kind of homicides to investigate,” added Craig.
The Post noted that Detroit's police department has a 12 percentage point higher rate for arrests made for white victims than in the cases of African-American victims.
The Post's analysis relied on racial classification for victims as recorded by local police in addition to local news reports and public records.
Translation:
When you get rob/killed in a drug rip-off...?
The perp could have been MANY people.
DUH....
In Chicago here they don’t like snitch or rat. That’s their culture. They don’t talk to police what they saw, period
Thank the DON’T SNITCH code of the streets.
Because the community will not help
Don’t snitch
The long read in the WP blames cops for not caring about black people.
Same song-and-dance.
One one drug dealer kills another drug dealer it must be hard to find a suspect. If I were investigating a murder my first question would be “Who would want this person dead?” Almost everybody wants the dirt bag to be dead.

The black community is horrible about being witnesses.
Chump don’t want no help, chump don’t get no help.
It is also blacks that are doing most of the killing of other blacks. A little fact which they choose to leave out.
Have that issue in a neighborhood in a neighboring city. A woman had her kid killed, witness disappeared rather than testify, scared. You talk, you’re next.
Binjo!
Combine what you said with the “snitches get stitches” ethos common in black ghettos, and we have a solid reason why the headline occurs.
Yes. And since those who kill black people are overwhelmingly black, not unlike how those who kill whites are mostly white, having a code against snitching is a great way to end up with no justice bring done for the dead. Arguably a great way to end up with more murders.
Exactly. When we have “don’t snitch” being marketed as threatening slogan in ghetto neighborhoods, and when most of the neighborhood is in one way or another involved with the gangs and won’t cooperate with the police...then we have criminals getting away scot free and even un identified.
Also, when we have people like DeBlasio and various other big-city mayors grandstanding by defending the thugs and attacking law enforcement, what do these neighborhoods think will happen?
Because “snitches get stitches” in the hood.
Not racist!
When witnesses use code of the street...snitches get stiches!
Trying to keep up on the sheer number of homicides in Chicago would be nearly impossible. Do people understand the man hours involved in solving homicide cases? It’s overwhelming.
