Murderers in the United States (1990 - 2002): Blacks were the most numerous at 46%, Hispanics were next at 27% and non-Hispanic whites were last at 23%

The latest FBI statistics (for 2010) show that when all the murders in the United States are taken into account, the percentage of black murderers is over 53%. It is likely that the number of murders committed by non-Hispanic and non-black people - i.e. whites - in the entire United States for 2010 was around 2989. The population of non-Hispanic whites for 2010 was 196.8 million. Applying the 2989 murders to this population gives a murder rate of 1.52 per 100,000 population.
