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 Hit-Shooting - Yesterday at approximately 8:29 p.m., officers were dispatched to the 1400 block of Chestnut Avenue regarding a hit-shooting. Upon arrival, officers contacted a male adult victim with life-threatening gunshot wounds to the upper and lower body. Long Beach Fire Department personnel arrived on scene to treat the victim and transport him to a local hospital. The preliminary investigation suggests the victim was speaking to a known female subject in the 1400 block of Chestnut Avenue when he was approached by an unknown male suspect who revealed a firearm and shot the victim. The suspect fled on foot in an unknown direction prior to officers’ arrival.  The victim is recovering in the hospital and is in stable condition. No suspect information nor motive is known, and the investigation is ongoing.
