I don't know and neither do you. I can say it will happen more often in a high crime area by simple fact that a high crime area will generate more police contact.

There's zero chance it happens more to non-minorities by dint of sheer numbers. More white people are killed by police than non-whites, again by dint of sheer numbers. What you're actually trying to describe is the fact that racial tension sells, therefore interracial shootings receive more media attention. If being a minority were such a determinant factor then why are Hispanics proportionately represented in the criminal justice system and Asians are significantly under represented?
