LBPD Blotter – July 20, 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 fatal shooting - On July 19, 2022 at approximately 8:26 p.m., officers were dispatched to the area of the Los Angeles River and Pacific Coast Highway regarding a shooting.  Upon arrival, officers located a male adult victim with gunshot wounds to lower body. Officers rendered medical aid until Long Beach Fire Department personnel arrived on scene and transported the victim to a local hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries. There is no suspect information nor motive at this time, and the investigation is ongoing.

   A news release regarding this incident will be published later today.

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