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 July 23, 2022 at approximately 8:20 p.m., officers were dispatched to the 1000 block of Dawson Avenue regarding a stabbing. Upon arrival, officers located a male juvenile victim with a non-life-threatening stab wound to the upper body. Long Beach Fire Department arrived on scene and transported the victim to a local hospital. Preliminary investigation revealed the victim and male adult suspect were engaged in an argument, which escalated to the stabbing incident. Officers identified and located the suspect on scene. Officers arrested Brandon Khongsakhone, 18 years old, resident of the City of Long Beach. He was booked at the Long Beach City Jail on one count of assault with a deady weapon and bail was set at $30,000. The investigation is ongoing.
