People lie, numbers don't. 3 out of 5 violent neighborhoods are hisapnic-majority. Let's see how you try and spin the numbers to fit your (racist) agenda.
You are correct. Blacks are not half of homicide victims in LA. Blacks are somewhere between 34-39% depending on whether you are looking at the city or county numbers. As you point out, Hispanic victims make up the largest share of homicide victims in LA. I don't know that you can say that Hispanic hoods are worse based on those numbers, since the number of Hispanic victims is pretty proportional to the overall percent of residents that are Hispanic.
Numbers from the LA Times Homicide Report, which lag a bit from official Compstat numbers, but allow breakdown by race:
2020-
LA County: 524 (1 listed as unkown race)
Hispanic: 261 (48% of county pop, 50% of homicide victims)
Black: 177 (9% of county pop, 34% of homicide victims)
White: 55 (Whites are 28% of county pop, 17 of the White victims were Middle-Eastern, but I'm not sure what percentage of the 'white' population is Middle Eastern. White as a whole were 10% of homicide victims)
Asian: 26 (14% of county pop, 5% of homicide victims)
LA City: 240
Hispanic: 110 (49% of city pop, 46% of homicide victims)
Black: 94 (9% of city pop, 39% of homicide victims)
White: 24 (29% of city pop, 10 of the white victims were Middle Eastern, 'white' as a whole were 10% of homicide victims)
Asian: 10 (12% of city pop, 4% of homicide victims)
To apply this to rate per 100,000
LA County:
Hispanic: 5.3
Black: 19.6
White: 2.1
Asian: 1.7
LA City:
Hispanic: 5.7
Black: 26.5
White- 2.1
Asian- 2.2
More hispanic deaths, but it is also true that blacks are 4 or 5 times more likely to be kills.

Unfortunately, Blacks in LA are being killed at a disproportionate rate, even in neighborhoods that are majority non black. https://homicide.latimes.com/neighborhood/vermont-vista
All 7 homicide victims in Vermont Vista were Black.

Because rate is only taken seriously by statistic fans, I look at the total. Huntington, WV had a higher Homicide rate than LA. Charleston, SC a few years ago had one of the highest violent crime rates in the nation. Anyone that believes Charleston or Huntington is more dangerous than LA needs a reality check.

In recent years LA was considered one of the safest cities in the United States.
The rate is primary for comparison/contrast statistics and to gauge a municipal ( or other themes) present trend to it's past. Despite the more chance or less chance statements, it's additional context that's added to it.

Respectfully disagree. LA is one of the safest large cities in America.
