LBPD Blotter - May 1, 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:

• No shootings nor stabbings were reported.

• On May 1, 2023, at approximately 12:14 a.m., officers were dispatched to the 300 block of East 17th Street regarding a male yelling. Upon arrival, officers discovered a male adult had possibly been involved in a dispute with another male adult at the location. Long Beach Fire Department subsequently responded after one of the involved male adults began to have complaints of chest pain. LBFD rendered aid to the male adult, who was later determined deceased at the scene. The other involved male adult remained on scene during the investigation. Detectives responded and the investigation is ongoing. A news release regarding this incident is forthcoming.
