Not off-hand. Last time I looked into it, tagging homicide associations was a pretty messy business. I think drug related gun homicides and gang homicides two side to the same coin.
I've seen numbers on the order of 10% for intimate gun partner homicide. The percent is much higher for women, but women are a minority of gun homicide victims overall.
- ethbr1 2y agoI looked at a variety of sources for the above numbers, but it certainly didn't seem like gang- or drug-specific associations drove the majority of non-suicide gun deaths. A decent chunk, but there are other reasons. One surprising / not surprising other fact: ~50-75% of gun deaths involve alcohol and ~25% meth.
- s1artibartfast 2y agoWould be curious to see what you are looking at too. Many deaths have no attribution as well, which could well fall into drug or gang.
