Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I patua: Ko Keshawn Brooks, 15, i werohia kia mate i a ia e hoki ana mai i te kura. Ko tētahi tamaiti 15 tau te pakeke e haere ana ki te kāinga mai i te kura i werohia kia mate mo tana peke, e ai ki ngā mana o California. I peke a Keshawn Brooks, ā, i werohia i ngā wā maha i a ia e whawhai ana ki tana kaiwhawhai mō tana peke i te ahiahi o te Rāhoroi i waho o Stephens Middle School i Long Beach, e ai ki te pirihimana. I rere atu te tangata whakapae engari i hopukina ia i muri mai. Ko Brooks, he ākonga tau tuatahi i te Kura Tuarua o Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo e tata ana, i hoatu ki a ia te awhina tuatahi e nga kaiwhakaatu i mua i te taenga mai o nga kaiāwhina. I kawea te taiohi ki te hōhipera, i reira i kiia ai kua mate ia i nga whara nui o te wero. I muri i te uiuinga o nga kaiwhakaatu, ka whakahuatia e nga kairangahau a Giovanny Montelongo, 18 tau te pakeke, hei tangata whakapae. I mauheretia ia i te ahiahi o te Taite i te whare noho o Long Beach i runga i te whakapae mo te kohuru, e ai ki te kaikorero pirihimana a Nancy Pratt. 'Kāore taku tama i te mema o tētahi kapa. He kohuru tēnei, i mahia tupurangi, ā, kāore i tika ki a ia tēnei,' i kī te papa o Brooks, a Keeyon Layton, i tētahi huihuinga pānui i te ahiahi o te Rāhoroi. 'A ki te hunga i haere mai ki te āwhina i a ia, e hiahia ana ahau ki te whakawhetai ki a koutou, tino nui. He mea pai ki ahau ehara i te mea ko ia anake i te wa o tona matenga. ' I puta te kohuru i te wā e tiki ana ngā mātua i ngā ākonga i te kura waenganui, e ai ki te pirihimana. I tonoa e ngā kaitirotiro me te pāpā o Brooks ngā kaiwhakaatu katoa kia haere mai ki mua. I kōrero mai ngā mātua o Keshawn i te Rāhoroi. I mea tona papa a Keeyon Layton: 'He kohuru tēnei, he mea tika. Kāore i tika i a ia tēnei' i puritia a Montelongo me te kore herenga hei whakaritenga o tētahi o ngā warrant e toru kāore i pā ki te tūtukitanga o te Rāhoroi, e ai ki a Pratt. I hiritia ngā whakahau nā te mea i puta ngā hara i whakapaehia i mua i a ia e tamariki ana, e ai ki a ia. Kāore a Pratt i te mōhio mēnā he rōia a Montelongo. I whakaritea kia whakawakia ia i te Mane. I whakaratohia e te Rohe Kura Kotahitanga o Long Beach he kaitohutohu pouri mo nga akonga i te Paraire.
I werohia a Keshawn Brooks i ngā wā maha ki waho o te kura tuarua i te ahiahi o te Rāhoroi. I rere atu ngā mātua me ngā kaiako i te taha tata ki te āwhina i a ia, engari kāore i taea te whakaora i a ia.
