The "Progressive Elite" model of modern murder refuted again:
David Kennedy, a renowned criminal justice professor and co-chair of the
National Network for Safe Communities, believes that places like the
1500 block of East 50th Street where Deontrey was killed, or
Central Avenue where two other Chattanoogans were shot around the same
time, aren’t necessarily bad areas. Good people live in those areas,
just as the overwhelming numbers of those who live in our inner city are
decent and law-abiding citizens.

The same is true about people. “We now know that homicide and gun
violence are overwhelmingly concentrated among serious offenders
operating in groups: gangs, drug crews, and the like representing under
half of one percent of a city's population who commit half to
three-quarters of all murders.”
Read it once more: “ … under half of one percent … commit half to three-quarters of all murders.”
