为什么萨克拉门托的凶杀案激增?我们采取了哪些措施来防止未来的暴力!
（ABC10）72 people have been killed in the span of nearly 10 months across both the city and county of Sacramento, including a 9-year-old, a 17-year-old, and an 18-year-old.
在近10个月的时间里，该市和萨克拉门托县共有72人丧生，其中包括一名9岁的孩子、一名17岁的孩子和一名18岁的孩子。
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Homicide numbers are on the rise in both Sacramento County and the City of Sacramento after a number of brazen shootings across the area.
在萨克拉门托县和萨克拉门托市发生多起明目张胆的枪击事件后，凶杀案数量呈上升趋势。
Makaylah Brent, 9, was killed in a drive-by shooting while playing at Mama Marks Park earlier in October -- one of the latest and perhaps most public murders in broad daylight.
今年10月初，9岁的马卡亚拉·布伦特(Makaylah Brent)在妈妈马克斯公园(Mama Marks Park)玩耍时被人驾车射杀，这是光天化日之下最新的、可能也是最公开的谋杀事件之一。
"I know my grandbaby wasn't your intended target. I know she wasn't," Amber Leslie Brent, Makaylah's grandmother, said. " lease, this has got to change. This has got to change."
“我知道我的孙子不是你的目标。我知道她不是，”马卡伊拉的祖母安布尔·莱斯利·布伦特(Amber Leslie Brent)说。“求求你，这种情况必须改变。这种情况必须改变。”
A striking trend of killings in broad daylight continued the same day Makaylah was killed as 17-year-old Jalyn Betschart, a star quarterback at Sacramento High School, was shot and killed in his car before crashing into a light pole.
就在马卡耶拉被杀的同一天，青天白日的杀人事件还在继续。17岁的杰林·贝恰特(Jalyn Betschart)是萨克拉门托高中(Sacramento High School)的明星四分卫，他在汽车中被枪杀，随后撞上了一根电线杆。
"I think Sacramento is a great city but I think it really needs to take a look in the mirror," Ken Powell, the Dean at Sacramento High School said. "These things are getting out of control and I don't see an end in sight."
“我认为萨克拉门托是一个伟大的城市，但我认为它真的需要照照镜子，”肯鲍威尔，萨克拉门托高中的院长说。“这些事情正在失去控制，我看不到尽头。”
Jalyn and Makayla, separately, became part of the numbers.
贾林和马卡伊拉分别成为了数字的一部分。
As of October 27, the City of Sacramento has had 36 homicides, so far, in 2020.
截至2020年10月27日，萨克拉门托市已发生36起凶杀案。
At this time in 2019, that number was only 26, according to the Sacramento Police Department.
根据萨克拉门托警察局的数据，在2019年的这个时候，这个数字只有26个。
"It's kind of like a perfect storm," Chief Daniel Hahn of the Sacramento Police Department said.
“这有点像一场风暴，”萨克拉门托警察局局长丹尼尔·哈恩(Daniel Hahn)说。
Hahn said, lately, his officers have been focused on getting more guns off the streets and redirecting resources.
哈恩说，最近，他手下的官员一直在集中精力从街道上清除更多枪支，并重新调配资源。
"We have got to do something different. We can't just keep having these cries for help," he said.
“我们必须做一些不同的事情。我们不能一直听到求助的呼声。”
But things are no different in Sacramento County.
但萨克拉门托县的情况没有什么不同。
According to the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office, their numbers are exactly the same as the city's, with 36 people killed in homicides so far this year within county boundaries.
根据萨克拉门托县治安官办公室的数据，他们的人数与该市完全相同，今年迄今为止，在县界内共有36人死于凶杀案。
At this time last year, that number was 32. Meaning, a total of 72 people died by homicide across both the city and county so far in 2020.
去年这个时候，这个数字是32。而今年，2020年，目前全市和县里共有72人死于谋杀。
"A lot of these are occurring in broad daylight, in crowded areas. Unfortunately, you have a lot of innocent bystanders who might get caught up and be collateral damage," said Sgt. Rod Grassmann, a spokesman for the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office.
“很多这样的事情发生在光天化日之下，在拥挤的地区。不幸的是，你有很多无辜的旁观者，他们可能会被抓住，并造成间接伤害，”萨克拉门托县警长办公室发言人罗德格拉斯曼(Rod Grassmann)说。
But those daylight murders continued to happen. Just last week, a 24-year-old man was found dead in his car with multiple gunshot wounds in a Food Maxx parking lot near Antelope Road and Watt Avenue around 10 a.m.
但那些白天的谋杀继续发生。就在上周，上午10点左右，一名24岁的男子在羚羊路和瓦特大道附近的食品店停车场被发现死在自己的车里，身上多处枪伤。
Back in July, 18-year-old Zarrie Allen was killed just after 5 p.m. while visiting a gravesite. The sheriff's office told ABC10 South Sacramento was in the middle of a so-called gang war. ABC10 asked if that gang war is still happening three months later.
今年7月，18岁的扎里·艾伦在参观墓地时被杀害，当时刚过下午5点。治安官办公室告诉ABC10，南萨克拉门托正处于一场所谓的帮派战争之中。ABC10问到，三个月后，帮派冲突是否还在继续。
"I don't know that I can say that we're in the middle of a gang war in this moment, but what I can tell you is that homicides and violence associated with gangs is always prevalent in the community and that it's always a fixture here," Grassmann said.
格拉斯曼说:“我不知道我能不能说此刻我们正处于一场帮派战争之中，但我可以告诉你的是，与帮派有关的杀人和暴力在这个社区中一直很普遍，而且一直是这里的固定现象。”
Preventing Future Violence
防止未来暴力
Community advocates say those numbers don't tell the whole story.
社区倡导者说，这些数字并不能说明问题的全部。
"Because you could have a couple of years of non-violence, and no homicides, and one incident could spark something between two gangs and you'll have 10, 15 in a couple of weeks. That doesn't necessarily reflect the temperature of the city as opposed to one incident," said Mervin Brookins, Founder of Brother to Brother.
他说:“因为可能有几年是非暴力的，没有杀人，一次事件可能在两个帮派之间引发冲突，几周内就会有10到15起。这并不一定反映了城市的温度，而不是一次事故，”“兄弟之间”的创始人莫文·布鲁金斯(Mervin Brookins)说。
"There's never an overnight solution to violence, but it's a marathon," said Chris Cooper, a program administrator for the Health Education Council.
“暴力从来没有一夜之间就能解决的办法，但这是一场马拉松，”健康教育委员会(Health Education Council)的项目主管克里斯·库珀(Chris Cooper)说。
ABC10 took these numbers to the community to get a deeper understanding of what's happening. They told us the solution to ending this violence starts with the youth.
ABC10将这些数字带到社区，以便更深入地了解正在发生的事情。他们告诉我们，结束暴力的解决办法从年轻人开始。
"The boys in our neighborhood have it bad. They have it so bad to where they might be the man of the house, so they go out at 13, 12, sell drugs because they want to take care of their mother or brothers or sisters," Aaron Cardoza said.
“我们附近的男孩都很糟糕。因为他们是男人，所以她们13,12岁就出去卖毒品，因为她们想要照顾母亲或兄弟姐妹，”艾伦·卡多萨说。
Cardoza is a mentor for Brother to Brother, focused on improving the lives of at-risk youth -- a role he took on after spending 10 years in prison.
卡多萨是《兄弟对兄弟》(Brother to Brother)的导师，专注于改善有危险的年轻人的生活——他在入狱10年后担任了这个角色。
"I want to be able to come into contact with as many kids as I can, that is going in the same route that I went," he said.
他说:“我希望能接触到尽可能多的孩子，这和我走的路线是一样的。”
They developed Brother to Brother in North Sacramento for areas like Del Paso Heights, but city leaders asked them to expand to the south, where they started the same program with folks already embedded in South Sacramento neighborhoods. They called it U-Turn Mentoring.
他们在北萨克拉门托的德尔帕索高地(Del Paso Heights)等地区开展了一对一的合作，但市领导要求他们将业务扩展到南部，在那里他们开始了同样的项目，让已经居住在南萨克拉门托社区的人们参与进来。他们称之为“180度大转弯”。
"Our focus is to try to resolve the gang wars and the gang violence because that has the potential to take many lives," Brookins said.
“我们的重点是试图解决帮派战争和帮派暴力，因为这有可能夺走很多人的生命，”Brookins说。
Chris Cooper is no stranger to that violence after growing up off of Mack Road and Center Parkway.
克里斯·库珀(Chris Cooper)在马克路(Mack Road)和中央公园路(Center Parkway)附近长大，对这种暴力并不陌生。
"I had a teammate that was shot and killed. I've had cousins shot and killed. I've had family members shot and killed. I've had classmates shot and killed, and it's a cycle of violence that seems to not stop," Cooper said.
“我有个队友被枪杀了。我有表兄弟被枪杀。我的家人被枪杀了。我有同学被枪杀，这是一个暴力循环，似乎没有停止，”库珀说。
He's now with the Health Education Council. On top of being invited into virtual classrooms to do mental health check-ins with teens, they oversee a group made up of nearly 20 organizations across the community focused on reducing violence.
他现在在健康教育委员会工作。除了被邀请到虚拟教室与青少年进行心理健康检查之外，他们还监督了一个由社区近20个组织组成的小组，该小组致力于减少暴力。
"Try to find out, how do we collaborate, and formulate a solution and response to violence happening throughout the city," he said.
他说:“试着找出我们如何合作，并制定一个解决方案和应对城市中发生的暴力事件。”
This group has been quietly meeting once a month to strategize for nearly seven years now, but he says there's still more work to be done.
近七年来，这个组织每月都在悄悄地开会制定战略，但他说，还有很多工作要做。
"We need a multidisciplinary, multisector approach, to making sure that there's all hands on deck," he said.
他说:“我们需要一个多学科、多部门的方法，以确保所有人都做好准备。”
From all of these programs across the area, the one thing we continued to hear was that the solution to ending the violence won't come from law enforcement or even elected officials. It comes from within the community.
从该地区的所有这些项目中，我们不断听到的一件事是，结束暴力的解决方案不会来自执法部门，甚至不会来自选举官员。它来自于社区内部。
"You have to build from the inside out, the community has to save the community," Brookins said.
“你必须从内到外建设，社区必须拯救社区，”Brookins说。
