I only read it as a redundant statement that 60% of murders are committed by blacks. The reference to murders does not imply anything about the race of the victims.

As a graphic accompanying the article shows, nearly six out of ten murderers, and nearly six out of ten murder victims, were black—in a city where one in four residents is black.
