That's even more depressing, can't even visit for a day without risking life (assuming it wasn't targeted). May he rest in peace.

Super sad, and I'm assuming that moving from SF to Miami was in part due to crime issue.

That wouldn’t make sense, Miami’s homicide rate is much higher than San Francisco’s.

Homicide rates aren’t relevant to a regular person. What matters is the probability of being a victim of a violent crime or a homicide when you weren’t involved in a criminal organization or weren’t already committing a crime.
Many cities with high homicide rates have them specifically because of gang activities and they don’t have any relevance to regular citizens.
Additionally, gun friendly states with “stand your ground” laws will have higher homicide rates just from self defense in robberies.
Tldr; homicide rate is meaningless to how safe you are as a bystander.

And given there are like 50 a year in a population of 800k+, it’s pretty unlikely.

That’s still a per capita rate, which is irrelevant.

“Stand your ground” laws don’t just increase the rate of homicides, they increase the rate of murder. Turns out that thugs are better at killing than civilians

Yeah, definitely not for literally any other possible reason, like say... escaping California's tax code.
There was a notable SF->Miami exodus during COVID, we don't need to attribute reasoning we don't know here.
