Here’s a recap of incidents occurring last night:

• Officers investigate a stabbing: On July 19, 2023, at approximately 11:50 p.m., officers responded to the 400 block of Shoreline Village Drive regarding a stabbing. Upon arrival, officers contacted an adult male victim with non-life-threatening stab wounds to the upper body. Long Beach Fire Department personnel provided medical aid and transported the victim to a local hospital. The preliminary investigation indicates that the victim was standing outside when an adult male suspect grabbed and held him from behind. A second adult male suspect then stabbed the victim in the upper body. The suspects fled the scene before officers arrived. Suspect information and the motive for the shooting is under investigation. The investigation is ongoing.
