Baltimore City at 231 as of posting - 2 homicides on Saturday after a lull of 5 days without a homicide .
Anne Arundel County also recorded the 8th homicide of the year, in the long troubled Pioneer City area in Severn (basically a giant area with projects/Section 8 apartments).
Oh...Baltimore City (~585k as of 2020 census) has about the same amount of people as AA County (~588k as of 2020 census).

I heard about some area in Severn acting like Baltimore thugs. That must be it.
Still 0 for DC over the last week but PG county had another 4 just since Saturday. Around 79 for the year
Alexandria, VA is over 20%+ Black and has fewer than five homicides a year with a pop. of $160k and nearly 10k people per sq mile. It's also in pro-gun Virginia.
Like many cities with lower homicide rates, it has a large immigrant population. About 40% of its Black population is immigrants, a similar trend to NYC, LA, and Boston, but very different than Baltimore, New Orleans, St. Louis, and Detroit which have far fewer immigrants per capita. Gun laws have nothing to do with it, dense cities where 20-25%+ of the population is immigrants tend to have lower homicide rates even when they have plenty of poor neighborhoods.
And even though I post PG homicides most are inside the 495 area. Based on its 2021 county- wide total 22 murders occurred in a an area of 500k mostly African-American which would be below US average.

That whole area in Severn (Meade Village/Pioneer City/Stillmeadows) is definitely a mess, and had been a mess for years. That area was so bad that it was "off limit" to people stationed in nearby Fort Meade for years.
If anything the area already calmed somewhat as it was even worse. Things seems to be heating up slightly lately, though, at least in neighboring Meade Village where there was like a shooting (usually resulted in property damage) every week last month.
Our Atlanta office went into a brief lockdown during that. Scary.
Yeah, it's usually supposed to be a safe area. It was one isolated incident caused by someone who was considered disgruntled, and possibly targeted the victims.
That puts the count for Atlanta at least 100 that I know about, but I'm sure there have been more than that over the past week or so. It's still not the end of August (2/3's of the year, this year is dragging!), so it's on pace to be well over 150 by the years end (which can't come soon enough).

Yes, because immigrants didn't experience American slavery and oppression for 400 years. They didn't experience Jim Crow, lynching, red lining, and the civil rights era. Their history is very different than Black American people.
