LBPD Blotter – March 1, 2023

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:

• No-Hit Shooting – 1200 block of Chestnut Avenue - On Feb. 28, 2023 at approximately 8:00 p.m., officers were dispatched to the 1200 block of Chestnut Avenue regarding a shots call, later determined to be a no-hit shooting. Upon arrival, officers contacted two uninjured male adult victims. One of the victim s stated they were in front of a residence when an unknown male suspect approached them while driving a dark-colored sedan. The suspect pointed a firearm at the victims and discharged a round, missing the victims. The suspect fled northbound on Chestnut Avenue prior to officers’ arrival. No additional suspect information is known, and the investigation is ongoing.

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