Louisiana ranks No. 2 in African-American killings
02/05/2007
Pennsylvania leads the nation in the rate of African-American homicides, with nearly 30 a year per 100,000 African-American residents. Louisiana is a close No. 2.
Firearms, especially handguns, were used in most of the nation’s 6,644 African-American slayings, according to the Violence Policy Center. Eighty-five percent of victims were male.

“The toll that homicide exacts on black teens and young adults in America, both male and female, is disproportionate, disturbing, and undeniable,” the study said. “The unique facilitating role of firearms cannot be ignored.”
Rounding out the top 10 with high African-American homicide rates are: California, 28.95 per 100,000; Missouri, 28.63; Michigan, 28.27; Maryland, 24.64; Minnesota, 24.45;, Nevada, 23.67; and Arizona, 21.54.
