...of America? Not really. From the Pew Research Center (my emphasis):
According to the FBI figures, Flint, Mich., had the highest murder rate
of any sizeable U.S. city in 2012, the most recent year available. There
were 62 murders per 100,000 population (which, coincidentally, was just
about Flint’s estimated population that year). Trailing Flint were
Detroit (54.6 murders per 100,000), New Orleans (53.2 per 100,000) and
Jackson, Miss., (35.8 per 100,000). Chicago, whose population is several
times bigger than any of those cities, came in 21st, with 18.5 murders
per 100,000 — nearly quadruple the national average, true, but still
nowhere near the highest in the country.
