LBPD Blotter - April 26, 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.

Earlier this week:

•  On April 25, 2023 at approximately 11:40 a.m., LBPD detectives along with officers from the West Division Enforcement Team and the K9 Detail—served a search warrant at a residence in the 2100 block of Williams Street regarding a prohibited possessor who detectives believed was in possession of firearms. Upon their arrival, officers immediately located and detained the suspect. During their search, officers seized three assault rifles, including an unserialized fully automatic AR-15, two handguns, one of which was unserialized, one shotgun, three pounds of narcotics and a large sum of cash. The suspect was arrested and transported to Long Beach City jail for booking. The suspect was identified as Kirk Collins, a 47-year-old resident of Long Beach who was booked on one count of possession of a controlled substance while armed with a loaded weapon, one count of a prohibited possessor in possession of a firearm, one count of prohibited possessor in possession of ammunition, and one count of possession of a controlled substance with the intent to sale. Bail was set at $50,000.

  Excellent work by officers and detectives to take guns and drugs off our streets!

Here’s a recap of incidents occurring last night:
