LBPD Blotter – Nov. 16, 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 hit shooting. On Nov. 15, 2022 at approximately 6:19 p.m., officers responded to the 1500 block of W. Willow Street regarding a hit shooting. Through their preliminary investigation, officers determined a male adult suspect and a female adult subject were involved in a verbal altercation. The suspect fired shots, striking a male adult victim who was a bystander and not the intended target. The victim sustained non-life-threatening injuries to the lower body and was transported to a local hospital by Long Beach Fire. The male suspect and female subject fled the area prior to officers' arrival. Officers located evidence, including casings. The investigation is ongoing. 
• Officers investigate a fatal traffic collision. Early this morning, at approximately 3:19 a.m., officers responded to the area of 7th Street and Rose Avenue regarding a vehicle vs. pedestrian traffic collision, which resulted in the death of a male adult pedestrian. The driver of the vehicle remained on scene and is cooperating with the investigation. Additional information will be available in a news release later today.
