Damnation Alley. Although some others die in the film, the only black guy dies.
I think more frequent is the black best friend of white protagonist dies, mostly in action films. That makes a long list.

The only person, among the 'people' that get killed in T2 that has any character development is black.

Scream 3...the only black guy I can remember winds up dead by the pool.
A Nightmare onElm Street 4...Kincaid.
Friday the 13th Part 3...the biker, although he puts up the best fight in the movie.

Interstellar. Okay there's 1 other black guy. Close enough.
I think Alien in the definitive answer. But then again every white male gets killed too. And all androids.

Rocky IV. More than one black guy, but only one black guy dies. You're referring of course to Apollo Creed.

X-Men: First Class. Darwin is killed off anti-climatically.

Hollywood tended to use blacks for politics and revealed they didn't give a shit about them precisely because they were used as props for the white characters and were killed off after they served their purpose. The "magic negro" is all about that--the black janitor who is invulnerable to bullets so he can save the white character (which is an insult to the black and white characters).
DIE HARD 1 did have the black guys helping the hero BUT it also suggested white collar blacks are assholes--the computer programmer and the FBI Johnson (no, the other one).
DEEP BLUE SEA subverted it by having the black guy say earlier that he wouldnt survive due to the trends and he does--then again the white collar black Samuel Jackson dies.
"You think water moves fast? You should see ice. It moves like it has a mind. Like it knows it killed the world once and got a taste for murder. After the avalanche, it took us a week to climb out. Now, I don't know exactly when we turned on each other, but I know that seven of us survived the slide... and only five made it out. Now we took an oath, that I'm breaking now. We said we'd say it was the snow that killed the other two, but it wasn't. Nature is lethal but it doesn't hold a candle to man. You've seen how bad things can get and how quick they can get that way. Well, they can get a whole lot worse. So we're not going to fight anymore! We're going to pull together and find a way to get out of here! First, we're going to seal off this po--!"

I'm watching one now. The Dirty Dozen (1967). Jim Brown doesn't make it. Others died, too.

The Edge (1997) - If I remember right Harold Perrineau's character is the only black guy in that movie and he gets killed.
