伊琳娜·扎鲁茨卡遇害案发生于2025年8月22日,地点位于美国北卡罗来纳州夏洛特市轻轨蓝线英语Lynx Blue Line东西大道站英语East/West Boulevard station[3]。扎鲁茨卡是一名因俄罗斯入侵而逃离家园的烏克蘭难民,她在该车站上车后被一名逃票者持刀刺死。行凶者在下车时被捕,并被控一级谋杀

该事件受害者为在美国寻求安全的难民,因此获得国际关注,促使夏洛特市长维·莱尔斯英语Vi Lyles发表公开声明。现场监控影片在社交媒体引发强烈愤慨,进而引发关于公共交通安保、票务稽查以及刑事司法与心理健康体系缺陷的政策讨论[4][5]

背景

[编辑]

受害者伊琳娜·扎鲁茨卡(烏克蘭語Ірина Заруцька[6]羅馬化Iryna Zarutska)2002年5月22日出生于乌克兰基辅[7]。为躲避俄乌战争战火,她于2022年随家人迁居美国[8]。据其家属创建的GoFundMe筹款页面显示,扎鲁茨卡生前定居于北卡罗来纳州夏洛特市,期待在此开启新生活[4][9][10]。扎鲁茨卡毕业于基辅协同学院乌克兰语Київське вище професійне училище будівництва та дизайну艺术与修复专业[11]。事发前,她在夏洛特一家披萨店工作[11],并期待通过提升英语水平成为一名兽医助理[8]。据其亲友评价,她善良、热爱动物,是“才华横溢且充满热忱的艺术家”[11]

犯罪嫌疑人小德卡洛斯·布朗(Decarlos Brown Jr.)34岁[12],是一個无固定居所的黑人男子[13],當時他沒有買票就坐上了輕軌[14]。其过去10年至少被逮捕14次,因抢劫与盗窃等罪总计获刑近8年半,还曾被指控袭击罪及滥用911紧急电话系统,在此事件发生时仍存在未结刑事诉讼案[15][16][17]。据其母亲所述,其可能患有精神分裂症等精神疾病[11]

案发过程

监控录像记录了扎鲁茨卡登上列车的过程以及行凶者实施刺击后的画面

2025年8月22日21时46分,伊琳娜·扎鲁茨卡在北卡罗来纳州夏洛特市南端社区英语South End, Charlotte东西大道站英语East/West Boulevard station登上轻轨蓝线英语Lynx Blue Line列车[3]监控画面显示其就坐于靠过道座位,正后方身着橙色连帽衫的黑人男子后被确认为小德卡洛斯·布朗[18]。前一节车厢有警员执勤,事发车厢内并未安排安保人员[19][20]

ABC新闻引用的宣誓书,双方事前无任何交流。列车出发约4分30秒后,嫌疑人从连帽衫中取出折叠刀英语Pocketknife,从后方向扎鲁茨卡颈喉部连刺三刀,其中至少一刀命中颈部[21]。受害者最初呈震惊状态,捂住颈部与面部,此时血液开始涌出,同车厢乘客虽目睹经过但未立即意识到事态严重性,数秒后,扎鲁茨卡瘫倒在其座位前的地板上。[22][19][23]

当地电视台WBTV英语WBTV公布及分析的后续画面显示,嫌疑人脱下连帽衫在车厢内走动,乘客纷纷避让;21时52分,至少一名乘客跑向扎鲁茨卡实施救助[24]。嫌疑人在下一站离开列车,随即在站台被警方逮捕[19][23]。扎鲁茨卡虽经现场抢救,仍最終身亡[25][26]。嫌疑人因手部轻伤接受治疗后,被正式指控犯有一级谋杀罪[27]

夏洛特—梅克伦堡警察局英语Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department(CMPD)将此事件定性为无端袭击[28](指针对他人实施的毫无理由的残暴攻击[29]),并表示调查仍在进行中,同时呼吁公众提供线索[4]

后续影响

[编辑]

此次致命刺杀事件引发了对夏洛特轻轨蓝线安全性的担忧。市议员埃德温·皮科克强调公众信任脆弱,敦促夏洛特交通系统英语Charlotte Area Transit System(CATS)与警方重新评估安保措施。CATS确认列车操作员遵守规程,在警方抵达前始终保持列车停靠状态。[19]2025年9月5日,CATS公布了刺杀事件的监控录像[23][30]

翌日,当地电视台WBTV英语WBTV援引当局声明称,犯罪嫌疑人“当时未持有有效车票”[14]。该嫌疑人随后被控以一级谋杀罪,罪名是刺死扎鲁茨卡[31]

命案发生后,地方官员与地区检察官公开讨论梅克伦堡县心理健康与司法体系存在的缺陷,以此案为例论证法院应如何处置患有严重精神疾病的被告[32]。夏洛特交通系统宣布将加强票务稽查、安装新型验票设备,并增派列车与月台的安保人员[33]。市长维·莱尔斯英语Vi Lyles谴责这起“毫无意义且悲惨的”凶案,呼吁在调查期间尊重受害者家属[34],同时强调“我们永远无法通过逮捕来解决无家可归和精神健康问题”,还表示“我不会污名化那些有心理健康问题或无家可归者”[35]。多名夏洛特市议员英语Charlotte City Council2025年市长选举英语2025 Charlotte mayoral election候选人要求采取更多措施保障公共交通安全[36]。市议员迪普尔·阿杰梅拉英语Dimple Ajmera坦言:“现行安全政策显然存在不足”,并担忧运输系统的犯罪恐惧可能影响即将举行的轻轨系统扩建公投[37]北卡罗来纳州州长乔希·斯坦呼吁“增加街头巡逻警力”,并要求州议会通过一揽子执法措施以填补职位空缺[38]

凶案在全美引发关注,并且引发政治撕裂,尤其引起右翼保守派政治评论员热议,主要指控左翼主流媒体以及亲乌克兰派对该案件的关注度不足,亦指责主流媒体未以报道乔丹·尼利遇害案的同等力度关注扎魯茨卡遇害事件——此案受害者是白人而犯罪嫌疑人为黑人,与尼利案中种族身份完全相反[39][40]。《夏洛特观察家报英语The Charlotte Observer》指出此事已趋于“政治化”[41][42]美国运输部长肖恩·达菲公开指责夏洛特市政府应对命案负责,亦指责市长“通过拒绝污名化无家可归者或精神疾病患者来淡化此类谋杀事件”[43]。企业家埃隆·马斯克批评法官与地区检察官纵容“罪犯逍遥法外”[41]。共和党众议员迈克·柯林斯英语Mike Collins (politician)X平台发声谴责,要求追究“索罗斯派法官和激进地区检察官”的责任[44]。保守派政治评论员查理·柯克批评民主党人推动“虚假叙事”,并称“在这个国家,白人实际上更有可能受到黑人的攻击”[45]劳拉·鲁默英语Laura Loomer则声称“共和党需要将反白人种族主义作为中期选举首要议题”[40]

9月7日首次被记者问及此案时,美国总统唐纳德·特朗普称之为“骇人听闻”,承诺次日早晨将“全面掌握案件”[46]。9月8日,在华盛顿圣经博物馆的演讲中,特朗普称袭击者为“疯子”和“狂徒”,宣称将向犯罪猖獗的美国城市——尤其是“被暴力笼罩”的芝加哥派遣联邦部队,并谴责无现金保释制度[47]。特朗普还称此事证明民主党左翼的公共安全政策失败[48][35]。9月9日,白宫发布视频声明,特朗普在其中表示扎鲁茨卡“被精神错乱的怪物残忍杀害”[49]。他在真实社交平台写道:“这位无辜女性的鲜血几乎能从凶手的刀刃上滴落,如今她的血沾在拒绝将坏人关进监狱的民主党人手上。”[50]9月10日,特朗普公开要求对嫌疑人判处死刑[43][51]

在英文维基百科,部分编辑以“事件显著性不足”为由提议删除条目,后经社群审议条目保留。[52]

案件亦获得国际关注,乌克兰外交部表示正与调查人员“保持持续沟通”[53][54]。《基辅独立报》则批评欧美保守派“利用悲剧推动反移民政策议程”,而非呼吁对乌援助[15]。英国《泰晤士报》指出该案“引发了关于美国犯罪率的争论”[55],而《每日电讯报》则强调该案“引发了美国社会对犯罪问题的强烈抗议”[56]

为犯罪嫌疑人开设的GoFundMe众筹页面因引发公众愤怒而被平台关闭[57][58]。法官已下令将嫌疑人送往当地医院进行为期60天的精神评估[59]

犯罪嫌疑人随后被北卡罗来纳州法院指控犯有一级谋杀罪[1],并在联邦法院被控“在公共交通系统实施导致死亡的犯罪行为”(违反《美国法典》第18编第1992条)[65]

纪念活动

[编辑]

2025年8月31日,夏洛特市举行烛光守夜活动,悼念扎鲁茨卡及近期其他交通系统暴力事件的受害者[66]。北卡罗来纳州官员还宣布将于9月22日在东/西大道站举行遇难30天纪念烛光守夜活动[51]。扎鲁茨卡的家属决定将其安葬于美国,其家人表示“她热爱这个国家”[67][68]
