LBPD Blotter - April 21, 2023

Welcome to the LBPD Blotter!

As part of our ongoing commitment to external communications and providing valuable information to our community, the Department posts preliminary information about incidents that occurred the previous evening, including shootings and stabbings, as well as any other LBPD updates to the Department’s homepage and on the “News” tab of the Department’s website. This page will be updated as new incidents occur.

Here’s a recap of incidents occurring last night:

• Officers Investigate a Stabbing - On April 20,2023 at approximately 9:47 p.m., officers were dispatched to the 4600 block of Long Beach Boulevard regarding a stabbing. Upon arrival, officers contacted a female adult victim with non-life-threatening injuries to the upper and lower body. Long Beach Fire Department personnel responded to the scene and transported the victim to a local hospital for her injuries. The preliminary investigation suggests a known male adult suspect entered the victim’s residence, resulting in a verbal dispute. The dispute escalated when the suspect struck the victim in the upper body with a blunt object and stabbed the victim in the lower body. The suspect fled in an unknown direction prior to officers’ arrival. No other injuries reported, and the investigation is ongoing.
