"Community gun violence disproportionately affects communities of color... Homicide is the leading cause of death among Black males ages 15-24, and the second and third leading causes of death for Black females and Hispanic males, respectively, in the same age group. Black children and teens are 14 times more likely to be murdered with a firearm than white children and teens." ~https://www.bulletpointsproject.org/community-gun-violence/
