As part of our ongoing commitment to external communications and providing valuable information to our community, the Department will begin posting information about recent police activity, ongoing investigations, and other LBPD updates to the Department’s homepage and on the “News” tab of the Department’s website.
At approximately 10:00 a.m. each day, community members will be able to read preliminary information about incidents that may have occurred the previous evening, including shootings, stabbings, traffic fatality, and murder investigations, as well as any other notable incidents. This page will be a resource for the public to learn more about enforcement efforts, arrests, and commendable events and will be updated as new incidents occur.
Here’s a recap of incidents occurring last night:
- Shooting - 14th Street and Locust Avenue. Last night at approximately 10:03 p.m., officers responded to 14th Street and Locust Avenue regarding a shooting. Preliminary investigation suggested a male adult suspect shot at an unknown victim who was no longer on scene when officers arrived. Officers learned the suspect barricaded himself in a motor home near the crime scene. SWAT resources responded and shortly thereafter the suspect surrendered without incident. Officers arrested 48-year-old John Daniel Dinkins, who was booked for assault with a firearm and prohibited person in possession of body armor. His bail is set at $100,000.
