Last year, police counted one Black shooting victim for every 150 Black residents in Minneapolis, compared to one white victim for every 3,768 white residents, according to data presented to the City Council this week.
White people comprise about 60% of Minneapolis' population, versus 19% Black or African people, according to census data. Yet only 9% of shooting victims are white so far in 2022, compared to 83% Black, the data from Minneapolis police show. Two-thirds of the victims are also under the age of 31, and a majority of shootings occurred in specific "hotspot" areas in north and south Minneapolis.
Vetaw noted that the police data also found that 89% of shooters were Black in cases where race was known in 2022. "That makes sense that the violence is that bad, because these are underserved communities," said Vetaw. "There's work for us to do as a community."
