You OP is misleading bullshit.
You can look at the CDC data yourself to see that the vast majority of murder victims are young black males between the ages of 15 and 24.
You can look at the FBI crime data to see that the vast majority of those committing murder are the same young black males between the ages of 15 and 24.
You can look at this interactive map to see where the vast majority of gun murders happen - urban areas most affected by drug and gang activity. Chicago, New Orleans, Detroit, LA, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Miami, etc.
