I wish you could filter out drug related shootings to see what the effect of legalizing, even just marijuana, would be on gun violence. The single event within 2 miles of me (63126) is a single drug related homicide.
Wilmington has high crime in part due to high drug use but unfortunately, we're talking stuff like heroin and meth, not weed. We are 'lucky' enough to be a stopping point for drug routes going between the other big East Coast cities - DC, Philly, etc - so apparently heroin is very readily available, and god knows what else with that.
