To build a list of the top 20 US cities in terms of the overall number of gun violence cases in 2018 or 2019.

Early Findings

Based on findings from Security.org and 24/7 Wall St. research, the top 20 US cities that experienced gun violence in 2018 are listed below: 
St. Louis, Missouri 
Baltimore, Maryland 
Gary, Indiana
Trenton, New Jersey 
Portsmouth, Virginia
Wilmington, Delaware
Ocala, Florida

New Orleans, Louisiana
Chicago, Illinois
Jackson, Mississippi

Except for Memphis, Milwaukee, and Louisville, all other cities on this list were extracted from Security.org. In providing this list, Wonder analyzed the number of gun-related injuries, deaths, and incidents occurring in these states. Cities with the most injuries were prioritized, followed by deaths, and then incidents.
The last three (18-20) cities were provided based on 24/7 Wall St. research. Here, the top cities which had not been mentioned by Security.org were included.
