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:

• No-Hit Shooting - 52nd Street and Pacific Avenue - On Feb. 16, 2023 at approximately 7:38 p.m., officers were dispatched to the area of 52nd Street and Pacific Avenue regarding a shots call. Upon arrival, officers contacted an uninjured male adult victim. The victim stated he was walking in a poorly lit area when he was approached by an unknown subject and after a brief verbal exchange, the suspect discharged a firearm towards the victim, missing him. The suspect fled in the vehicle in an unknown direction prior to officers’ arrival. Officers located evidence, including bullet casings indicating a shooting had occurred. No additional suspect information is known, and the investigation is ongoing.

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