While murders are going down in some major U.S. cities, the rate is soaring in Minneapolis (pop. 368,383)--approaching even those found in New York and Washington, D.C. By the middle of August 1995, Minneapolis had already topped its yearly record for homicides; there were 67 killings by mid-August, four more than the total for all of 1991, previously the city's deadliest year. Nearly three-quarters of the victims were black, although blacks make up only 13 percent of the population.
