10 U.S. cities you’re most likely to be murdered in

5. Baltimore, MD

The inner city of Baltimore has been a segregated city for a very long time and the tensions continue to boil over from time to time. The murder rate is also very high with over 230 homicides a year. Based purely on number of murders they are second to Detroit and I think we can all agree you never want to be second to Detroit in anything crime related. There’s a reason Homicide and The Wire were based (and filmed) in Baltimore, these stories are based on the reality of the Baltimore streets. Although violent crime is on the rise, apparently citizen complaints against police officers have decreased…so there is that.
