Officers Arrest Stabbing Suspect - On May 25, 2022 at approximately 11:54 p.m., officers were dispatched to the 1400 block of Walnut Avenue regarding a restraining order violation. Upon arrival, officers contacted the calling party who stated a male adult suspect violated the terms of a restraining order against the calling party. The suspect was still on scene and was detained by officers.A short while later, officers were contacted by a male adult victim with non-life-threatening stab wounds to the upper body, who was assaulted by the detained suspect. Long Beach Fire Department personnel responded to the scene and transported the injured victim to a local hospital for his injuries.
The preliminary investigation suggests the victim was in a verbal altercation with the suspect, which resulted in the suspect stabbing the victim and fleeing on foot. The suspect was arrested and transported to Long Beach City jail where he was booked. The suspect was identified as Javier Armando Casique, a 30-year-old resident of Long Beach, who was booked on one count of assault with a deadly weapon and a restraining order violation. Bail was set at $30,000. The investigation is ongoing.
