LBPD Blotter – Dec. 3, 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:

• Person with a gun call leads to SWAT Activation - Yesterday, at approximately 6:10 p.m., officers responded to the area of Paramount Boulevard and 57th Street regarding a person with a gun call. Upon arrival, officers contacted the reporting party, who stated they were inside their residence when they observed an unknown male adult suspect with a firearm enter a vacant, next-door residence. Responding officers attempted to make contact with the suspect; however, he refused to leave the residence. Officers established a perimeter, and the SWAT team was activated and responded to the scene. Nearby residents were evacuated and/or sheltered in place. Officers continued to contact the suspect to no avail, and negotiators were on scene and attempted to deescalate the situation. After a short while, officers served a search warrant and entered the residence, where the suspect was subsequently not located. At this time, no injuries have been reported, and the investigation remains ongoing.

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