LBPD Blotter - April 30, 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 No-Hit Shooting – Yesterday at approximately 10:15 p.m., officers were dispatched to the area of 4th Street and Orange Avenue regarding a shots call. Upon arrival, officers located evidence, including bullet casings, indicating a shooting occurred. The preliminary investigation suggests a male adult victim and a male adult suspect were engaged in a verbal dispute, which escalated when the suspect revealed a firearm and discharged it towards the victim, missing him. The victim and suspect fled prior to officers’ arrival. No injuries were reported, and the investigation is ongoing.

This information is preliminary and is intended for early information use rather than being a formal investigative report.
