You asked
I've just been pursuing the homicide figures for 2018- March 2019, and see that you list victims by Ethnicity: which makes interesting reading.
However, I did not see the same breakdown for suspects and perpetrators? This has me wondering therefore, what is the split?
Furthermore, what are the figures for the Ethnicity of the victim and suspect/perpetrators. That is how many were:
White victims of white attackers?
White victims of non-white attackers.
Non-white victims of white attackers.
Non-white victims of non-white attackers.
