Chicago has a lower percentage of blacks than the other cities mentioned.

Detroit – 79%
Baltimore – 62%
New Orleans – 60%
St Louis – 44%
Chicago – 30%

Blacks commit the majority of homicides in the US.

According to the US Department of Justice, African Americans accounted for 52.5% of all homicide offenders from 1980 to 2008, with Whites 45.3% and "Other" 2.2%. The offending rate for African Americans was almost 8 times higher than Whites.
