Chicago was close in the muder rate:

I guess it all depends how you count it up.
St Louis always seems to make these crime lists (usually well deserved) but the local media always play it off that the population of St Louis proper is very low compared to the total area population, so per capital it looks bad.
Of course there are daily/nightly shootings in north StLouis and I never scoot there.
Too many scoots..... 12 or so I think .
