LBPD Blotter - Oct. 25, 2022

Welcome to the LBPD Blotter!

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:

• Officers investigate a stabbing. On Oct. 24, 2022, at 10:41 p.m., officers responded to the 0 Block of Bay Shore Ave. regarding an assault with a deadly weapon.  Upon arrival, officers learned a male adult victim was approached by a male adult suspect in the alley.  Without provocation, the suspect stabbed the victim in the upper body.  The victim punched the suspect, rendering him unconscious.  Officers quickly arrived on scene and took the suspect into custody.  The victim was transported to a local hospital for a non-life threatening stab wound to the upper body.  The suspect was also transported to a local hospital for medical clearance prior to booking.  The suspect is identified as Ryan Nguyen Chau, 18-year-old resident of Long Beach, who was booked for assault with a deadly weapon. His bail is set at $30,000. The investigation is ongoing.

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