evidence: Most homicides for which the race of the victim and offender are known are intraracial, meaning they involve people of the same race. A Justice Department report on homicide trends from 1980 to 2008 said 84% of white homicide victims over that 28-year period were killed by other white people, and 93% of Black victims were killed by other Black people. More recent FBI homicide data puts the percentages in the same range.
