Some added data to back up what you're saying: https://abcnews.go.com/US/12-major-us-cities-top-annual-homi...
Increases in Arizona, Texas, Louisiana, Minnesota, and Kentucky would indicate to me a lack of correlation for various partisan policies driving this.

My guess is that the root cause is a mix of increasing inequalities (perceived or real), low wages and polarizations in the media.

Any data on some "red" cities experiencing rising crime? The big cities in "red" states tend to be "blue".

Perhaps because the police are changing their tactics (for the worse) to reduce any possible repeat of George Floyd's killing?
Here in the UK, "stop and search" was massively reduced because it was seen as racist. The result has been a marked increase in knife and drug related crimes.
Of course it is the poor and minorities who suffer from these progressive policies.

Is per-capita crime going up as well?

Going after a bad guy is now very risky.
If someone puts a gun to your head and says they will kill you and you protect yourself. Well you will be made an example.
