• Hit Shooting: On Jan. 1, 2024, at approximately 8:00 p.m., officers were dispatched to the 3000 block of Coolidge regarding a shooting. Upon arrival, officers contacted a male adult victim with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds to the upper and lower body. Long Beach Fire Department personnel arrived on scene and transported the victim to a local hospital for his injuries. The preliminary investigation indicates the victim was approached by an unknown number of suspects when a brief verbal altercation occurred, which escalated when the suspect(s) shot the victim. The suspect(s) fled the scene prior to officers’ arrival. At this time, no suspect information is available, and no other injuries were reported. The investigation is ongoing.

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