| I checked out some demographics and it turns out that 4 out of the top 5 cities (Camden, St. Louis, Detroit and Flint) have a majority of African-American citizens. Oakland is the only city with an African-American minority, but still, the vast majority of perpetrators are African-American: "The five-year average for homicide suspects in Oakland breaks down as follows: 64.7% Black, 8.6% Hispanic, 0.2% White, 2.0% Asian and 24.4% Unknown."
