Exactly. I suspect (without much evidence) that most murders in Miami are gang related, so even less likely to affect HN readers whereas in SF it feels more random.

Dunno if that's true - the murders that happen in SoBe during Black Beach Week aren't usually gang related, it's usually some drunk idiot with a gun and a fancy rental car trying to flex or show off, and someone willing to take the bait. Sad, but that's the reality.

The murders that happen in my part of town are usually drug-related, like an OD or, in the case of my neighbor, a drunk and jealous girlfriend with access to a firearm.

SoBe murders don't count towards Miami city's total. I was speaking more about Miami city than MDC.
