I was thinking that most murders are gang-related and most gang members are male, but I see that this is disputed. Unfortunately, all the sources I can find seem to take a partisan position in the gun control debate, hence I don’t know.
Bad prior. Gang violence is a major murder statistic, but it’s pretty far from being “most”. Quick googling says: “1 in 6 murders”. The most common motive, at 50% is “Argument”. So.. men are more likely to escalate those to homocide?

Makes sense.
