"Gun homicides are on the rise in the United States, with young Black and brown people experiencing the highest rates
Young Black Americans (ages 15 to 34) experience the highest rates of gun homicides across all demographics.2
Black Americans are 10 times more likely than white Americans to die by gun homicide.3
In 2020, 12,179 Black Americans were killed with guns, compared with 7,286 white Americans:4
While Black Americans made up 12.5 percent of the U.S. population that year, they were the victims in 61 percent of all gun homicides.5
Black Americans are three times more likely than white Americans to be fatally shot by police.6
60 percent of gun deaths among Hispanic and Latino people are gun homicides.7
Young Hispanic Americans (ages 15 to 29) represent 4 percent of the population yet are victims in 8 percent of all gun homicides.8
In 2015, half of all gun homicides took place in just 127 cities across the country:
Gun homicides are concentrated in a relatively small number of neighborhoods in these cities, which have historically been underresourced and racially segregated.9
Women of color are more likely than their white counterparts to be shot and killed with firearms
Black women are twice as likely as white women to be fatally shot by an intimate partner.10
American Indian and Alaska Native women are killed by intimate partners at a rate of 4.3 per 100,000, compared with 1.5 per 100,000 for white women.11
Guns are used in more than half of all homicides of women and are disproportionately used against Black women."
