No it isn't.
It's a bogus use of stats. Compare metro area populations, not the arbitrary and absurd political boundaries of the "City of St. Louis." It's like saying a guy who is 3 for 10 is a better hitter than a guy who is 299 for 1000. There are like 13 metro areas with higher murder rates than St. Louis.

How long until Trump sends in the Feds to clean up this carnage?

Re: "St. Louis is the murder capital of the U.S."
I believe if you included the county in those stats, St. Louis comes in somewhere around the 92nd most dangerous city or something along those lines.
