- Officers investigate a shooting - 700 block of Long Beach Boulevard.
On Dec. 5, 2023, at approximately 2:13 a.m., officers responded to the 700 block of Long Beach Boulevard regarding a shooting. Upon arrival, officers contacted a female adult victim suffering from a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to the lower body. Long Beach Fire Department personnel arrived on scene and transported the victim to a local hospital for her injuries. The preliminary investigation indicates the victim was in a brief altercation with a male adult suspect, which resulted in the shooting. The suspect fled the scene prior to officers’ arrival. Detectives believe this incident is hate-motivated due to statements made by the suspect during the altercation. No other 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.
