  Good morning. This is the Sacramento Brief, your
• 0:08
  weekday roundup of overnight headlines and what's
• 0:11
  ahead across the city. I'm Carol. It's Tuesday,
• 0:16
  March 3rd, 2026. Let's get you caught up. Two
• 0:19
  people are hospitalized after a stabbing Monday
• 0:22
  night in downtown Sacramento. The Sacramento
• 0:24
  Police Department says officers responded just
• 0:27
  before 9 .45 p .m. to the 400 block of K Street,
• 0:30
  where they found two victims suffering from stab
• 0:32
  wounds. Both were taken to a local hospital.
• 0:35
  One of those victims has died, and suspect information
• 0:38
  is not available as this investigation continues.
• 0:42
  And earlier in the evening, a reckless driver
• 0:44
  led officers on a brief pursuit near 6th and
• 0:47
  I Street. Police say the vehicle was stopped
• 0:52
  using a pit maneuver and spike strips before
• 0:55
  crashing through the Sally Port doors at the
• 0:57
  Sacramento Canyon Main Jail. The suspect fled
• 1:00
  on foot but was quickly arrested. A pedestrian
• 1:03
  was struck during the chase, though no serious
• 1:06
  injuries were reported. Both incidents remain
• 1:10
  under investigation. In City Watch, last night
• 1:14
  at the Sacramento Youth Commission meeting, student
• 1:18
  leaders shared plans for a hands -on effort to
• 1:20
  support local youth in need. On March 22nd, youth
• 1:24
  commissioners will be out in neighborhoods across
• 1:26
  Sacramento collecting new and gently used backpacks
• 1:30
  for students who may not have one of their own.
• 1:32
  The commission is encouraging the community members
• 1:35
  to plan ahead. If a student comes knocking, have
• 1:38
  a backpack ready to donate. with making a real
• 1:42
  difference. I have included a link in the show
• 1:45
  notes if you'd like to donate through the Sacramento
• 1:47
  Brief. It's a simple way to support Sacramento
• 1:51
  youth led by youth themselves. Today's weather
• 1:55
  will be mostly sunny with a high near 68, calm
• 1:58
  winds to start around 5 mph by this afternoon,
• 2:01
  making for a comfortable, classic Sacramento
• 2:03
  day. Tonight, increasing clouds with a low around
• 2:06
  46. In events, Tonight at 6 .30, the Enlightenment
• 2:11
  Salon hosts Should We Have a Wealth Tax? The
• 2:15
  discussion centers around the California's proposed
• 2:17
  Billionaire Tax Act, a one -time 5 % tax on residents
• 2:22
  with over a billion dollars in assets. With Governor
• 2:26
  Newsom opposed and Senator Bernie Sanders in
• 2:29
  support, the debate is heating up. Guest experts
• 2:32
  from UC Davis and Sac State Sacramento State
• 2:35
  will break down the pros and cons. Tickets are
• 2:38
  $10. Again, that's at Enlightenment Salon on
• 2:41
  10th Street. Meanwhile, if innovation is more
• 2:45
  your speed, Folsom Tech Week runs this week at
• 2:48
  Granite City Commons. The four days focus on
• 2:53
  health tech, government tech, AI, and startups,
• 2:56
  bringing together builders, investors, and public
• 3:00
  leaders for practical... and outcome -driven
• 3:03
  conversations. And for something reflective,
• 3:07
  Kokoro, the story of Sacramento's lost Japantown
• 3:12
  continues at the California Museum through the
• 3:15
  end of the month. The exhibit features rare family
• 3:19
  photos documenting a once thriving community

  lost to wartime removal and redevelopment. Open
• 3:26

• 3:29
  innovation, and history. All this week happening
• 3:32
  in the region. That's all for today's Sacramento
• 3:36
  Brief. You'll find the links to today's events
