华盛顿州暴力惯犯判刑10年：带枪到公园找对立帮派、出狱4个月再涉枪击
Richland——位于美国华盛顿州 Franklin County 的 Pasco 市一名暴力惯犯，10月29日在联邦法院被判刑10年。美国司法部华盛顿东区联邦检察官办公室宣布，31岁的 Victor Amezcua-Garcia 因重罪犯持有枪支罪，被联邦地区法官 Mary K. Dimke 判处120个月监禁，刑满后另加3年监督释放。
法庭文件显示，Amezcua-Garcia 是 Tri-Cities 地区一名长期帮派成员，被指曾在 Pasco 向一名女子开枪。Pasco 警局侦探为找到他，假扮对立帮派成员发短信约他出来打斗，把他引出藏身处；他开着一辆赃车到场，警方试图以标记警车拦截时，他高速逃逸、穿过多个居民区，最终被警员以 PIT 截停技术逼停，围堵中仍踩油门试图挣脱，后被制服，车内查获2支枪。他此前已有重罪记录，依法不得持有枪支。
法官 Mary K. Dimke 量刑时表示，Amezcua-Garcia「对社区构成重大危险、正走在杀人的路上」。法官指出，他的犯罪史自12岁起持续不断：15岁与18岁时各有一次得来速枪击（drive-by shooting）定罪，22岁时持械盗取儿童手机被定罪，2017年非法持枪、2018年在当地汽车旅馆房间内枪击他人被定罪，最近一次非法持枪定罪后于2024年9月24日出狱，仅4个月后、2025年1月即再涉枪击。Amezcua-Garcia 在庭上称自己已「退出帮派」，但法官不予采信，指出他带枪到当地公园找对立帮派成员，与「退出」说法完全不符。
第一助理联邦检察官 Pete Serrano 表示，这次成功起诉显示其办公室对公共安全的坚定承诺「始终是首要任务」。酒精、烟草、火器和爆炸物管理局（ATF）Seattle 分局特工主管 Jonathan Blais 表示，持续的暴力犯罪行为不会被容忍，这项长刑期使一名惯犯不再有机会威胁社区安全。Pasco 警局队长 Bill Parramore 称，该局侦探在定位与抓捕中发挥了关键作用。此案由 ATF 与 Pasco 警局查办，案号 4:25-CR-006006-MKD。（来源：美国司法部）
Violent Repeat Offender in Washington Sentenced to 10 Years in Federal Prison
RICHLAND, Washington — A violent repeat offender from Pasco, a city in Franklin County, Washington, was sentenced on October 29 to 10 years in federal prison. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Washington announced that Victor Amezcua-Garcia, 31, was sentenced by District Court Judge Mary K. Dimke to 120 months of incarceration followed by 3 years of supervised release for being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Court documents show Amezcua-Garcia, a longtime gang member in the Tri-Cities area, was alleged to have shot a woman in Pasco. Pasco Police Department detectives texted him pretending to be rival gang members and set up a fight to lure him out of hiding. He arrived in a stolen vehicle and fled at high speed through residential areas when officers tried to stop him; after a PIT maneuver and being boxed in, he kept revving the engine to break free before giving up. Two firearms were found in the vehicle; as a previously convicted felon, he cannot lawfully possess firearms.
In imposing sentence, Judge Dimke stated that Amezcua-Garcia is a "significant danger" to the community and is on a path to kill someone. She noted a criminal history starting at age 12, drive-by shooting convictions at ages 15 and 18, a conviction at 22 for armed theft of cell phones from children, unlawful firearm possession in 2017, a 2018 assault conviction for shooting someone in a motel room, and release from his most recent conviction on September 24, 2024 — followed just four months later by another shooting in January 2025. The judge was not persuaded by his claim to be a gang "drop out," finding he had shown up armed at a local park looking for a rival gang member.
First Assistant United States Attorney Pete Serrano said the prosecution underscores his office's unwavering commitment to public safety. ATF Seattle Field Division Special Agent in Charge Jonathan Blais said persistent violent criminal behavior will not be tolerated. Pasco Police Captain Bill Parramore said the department's detectives played a key role in locating and apprehending him. The case was investigated by the ATF and the Pasco Police Department, under case number 4:25-CR-006006-MKD. (Source: U.S. Department of Justice)
