LBPD Blotter - Jan. 7, 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:

•  Homicide – 5500 block of Long Beach Boulevard - Yesterday at approximately 8:32 p.m., officers were dispatched to the 5500 block of Long Beach Boulevard to assist Fire with a down subject. Upon arrival, officers contacted a male victim with life-threatening gunshot wounds to the upper body. The Fire Department personnel on scene determined the victim deceased. Homicide Detectives responded to the scene to further the investigation. A news release regarding the incident will be released later today.

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