LBPD Blotter – Nov. 24, 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 non-fatal stabbing that occurred overnight- On 11/23/2022 at approximately, 6:49 p.m., officers responded to the 5500 block of Pacific Coast Highway regarding a report of a stabbing. Upon arrival, officers located a male adult victim who was subsequently transported to a local hospital by Long Beach Fire Department personnel with non-life-threatening injuries. The victim stated he was near the area when he became involved in a verbal dispute with a male adult suspect that escalated to the stabbing. The suspect fled the scene prior to officers arrival. At this time, the motive for the stabbing is unknown. The investigation is ongoing.

* A news release regarding a fatal traffic collision that occurred overnight was published on our News Release page which you can view here*
