Outrage is growing over the death of a 30-year-old Black man on a New York City subway train on Monday.

周一，一名30岁的黑人男子在纽约地铁上身亡，引发了越来越多的愤怒。

The incident is proving to be a flashpoint in a larger conversation about race, homelessness, mental health and public safety.

There are reports that say Jordan Neely, who was homeless at the time, was yelling on Manhattan's F train.

To talk about this, we have NPR's Brian Mann.

Hi, Leila.

嗨, 莱拉。

So, Brian, can we expect police to make an arrest in this case?

那么，布莱恩，我们能指望警方对该案进行逮捕吗？

That's not certain at this time. The man who choked Neely to death was questioned by police and then released.

So far, he's still free - no charges filed.

Before we go any further, I want to know more about Jordan Neely, the man that was killed. What do we know about the life he lived, who he was?

在我们进一步讨论之前，我想多了解一下乔丹·尼利，也就是那个被杀的人。我们对他的生活了解多少，他是谁?

Yeah, it's a really sad story.

He was a street performer. He dressed like Michael Jackson, you know, moonwalking and dancing in exchange for tips.

Friends, though, also described him to our member station, WNYC, as deeply troubled.

His mother was murdered by a boyfriend when Jordan Neely was just 14.

One witness to Monday's violence on this subway car told media outlets that Neely was shouting about needing food and being willing to die.

Let's start with Mayor Eric Adams. What's he saying about this?

让我们从市长埃里克·亚当斯开始报道。他是怎么说的?

Yeah, Mayor Adams, who's Black, is really the one top Democrat in this Democratically-controlled city who hasn't condemned the violence.

What we don't know yet is what led up to that confrontation. That's not on the videotape we've seen.

Mayor Adams, who's a former police officer, says the public should wait for investigations to be finished.

市长亚当斯曾是一名警官，他称公众应该等待调查结束。

And, Leila, he's also cited this incident as justification for his controversial effort to move mentally ill people off the streets and out of train stations.

莱拉，他还以这起事件为理由，为他的争议之举--将精神病患者从街道和火车站转移出去做辩护。

He's proposed using involuntary hospitalization in some cases to do that.

他建议在某些情况下使用非自愿住院治疗来实现这一举措。

In a statement, Adams said, we know there were serious mental health issues in play here.

亚当斯在一份声明中表示，我们知道这里有严重的心理健康问题。

Now, other elected officials are condemning police for not arresting the white man who choked Neely, who was Black, to death. What are they saying?

现在，其他民选官员谴责警方没有逮捕掐死黑人尼利的白人男子。他们在表达什么?

Yeah, New York City Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, also a Democrat, took a shot directly at the mayor about this.

是的，纽约市女议员亚历山大·奥卡西奥·科尔特斯，也是民主党人，就此事直接向市长开炮。

She called this incident a murder, and she wrote, I have yet to hear a real explanation from any official hesitating to condemn the killing of Jordan Neely about what makes condemning this violence so complicated. Those are her words.

她将这一事件称为谋杀，她写道: 从不愿谴责乔丹·尼利被杀的官员那里，我还没有听到真正的关于是什么让谴责这种暴力变得如此复杂的解释。这是她的话。

New York City Council President Adrienne Adams also issued a statement saying Neely's killing and the law enforcement response reflect, quote, "racism that continues to permeate through our society."

纽约市议会主席阿德里安娜·亚当斯也发表了一份声明，称尼利被杀和执法部门的反应反映了“继续渗透到我们社会的种族主义”。
