LBPD Blotter - Feb. 27, 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 non-fatal stabbing and arrest suspect - On 2/26/2023, at approximately  7:11 p.m., , officers responded to the 400 block of East Market Street regarding a report of a stabbing. Upon arrival, officers located a male adult victim suffering from stab wounds to the upper body. The victim stated he was in his home when he entered into a verbal dispute with his roommate, a male adult suspect, that escalated to the stabbing.  The suspect was arrested at the scene. The Long Beach Fire Department responded and treated the victim at the scene for minor, non-life-threatening injuries.  The suspect was identified as Ethan McCammon, a 58-year-old resident of Long Beach, who was booked for one count of assault with a deadly weapon. Bail was set at  $30,000. The investigation is ongoing.

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