More whites are killed by police in every state. Over half of all victims are white. Approximately a quarter are black (statistically higher than the representation among the entire population).

ETA - I'm a little bit surprised that more whites are killed in the city of Houston.

True, but a higher percentage of the black population as a whole are shot comparatively. However, I put little weight in that stat as blacks make up a smaller percentage of the overall US population compared to whites and latinos. It's easy to cherry-pick the statistics to paint the story that you want.
