LBPD Blotter - 10/28/23

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 stabbing: On Oct. 27, 2023, at approximately 5:51 p.m., officers were dispatched to Lafayette Middle School regarding an assault with a deadly weapon call. Upon arrival, officers contacted a teenage male victim with a non-life-threatening stab wound to the upper body. Long Beach Fire Department personnel arrived on scene and transported the victim to a local hospital for his injuries. The preliminary investigation suggests the victim was in a verbal altercation with a known teenage male suspect, which escalated when the suspect stabbed the victim. The suspect was still on scene when officers arrived and was subsequently arrested and transported to Long Beach City jail for booking. The 14-year-old male suspect was booked for assault-related charges. The investigation is ongoing.

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