Which is why I tend to look at homicides as it will be less biased. Every homicide will be accounted for (materially). And if anything you would expect less efforts to be made by the police to identify the author in poorer black areas, which would lead to an under representation. But from memory I think close to 50% of the homicide in the US have black authors (and predominantly black victims too which is consistent with your point). Which is broadly in line with their representation in police shootings.
