LBPD Blotter – July 22, 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 Hit-Shooting - Today at approximately 6:10 a.m., officers were dispatched to a local hospital regarding a shooting victim. Upon arrival, officers contacted a male adult victim with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to the upper body, who stated he was standing in front of a building in the area of Market Street and Locust Avenue when he heard presumed gunfire and observed he had been struck. Suspect(s) information nor the motive are known at this time. The investigation is ongoing.

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