LBPD Blotter – Dec. 29, 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 non-fatal stabbing and arrest suspect - On 12/28/2022 at approximately 7:18 p.m., officers responded to the 1700 block of  Coronado Avenue regarding a report of a stabbing. Upon arrival, officers located a male adult victim suffering from a stab wound to the upper body. The victim stated he was walking in the area when a male adult suspect approached him from him behind, stabbed him, and fled the scene prior to officers arrival. The Long Beach Fire Department transported the victim to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. At this time, the motive for the stabbing is unknown. The investigation is ongoing. 

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