Las Vegas Ranks Fourth in African American Homicides

A new study ranks Nevada the fourth worst in homicides involving African Americans.

Many black leaders in Las Vegas were not shocked by the report, but they say it's heartbreaking.

Three years ago, more than 120 valley families grieved the loss of a love one killed during a crime. More than a third of those victims were African American -- many of them young men like Darney Austin whose dreams of being a football star were cut short.
