Average is difficult, since it depends on the period you are averaging over. If you include in your average all the years going back to when LA was only a small town, well maybe it is. More recent statistics indicate that somebody dropped a zero somewhere. LA in the last few years has had about 500 murders a year (e.g. in 2006 the latest year (in an admittedly brief search) I can find a verified number for it was 480).
That much being said, LA is far from being the most dangerous city in the country. Among very large US cities (population over 1,000,000) LA is actually one of the least murderous.

I highly doubt that is the average rate. It's got to be higher.

You're reading I heard that Los Angeles only gets about 50 murders a year. Is this true?
