LBPD Blotter – Nov. 1, 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 in the 1700 block of Cerritos Avenue – Today at approximately 1:20 a.m., officers were dispatched to the 1700 block of Cerritos Avenue regarding a shooting. Upon arrival, officers located a trail of blood on the sidewalk. After following the trail, officers were unable to locate an individual who might need medical attention nor a victim of a crime. A short while later, officers were dispatched to a local hospital regarding a gunshot victim. When officers arrived to the hospital, they contacted a male juvenile victim with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to the lower body. Preliminary investigation suggests the victim was in front of a residence in the 1700 block of Cerritos Avenue when he was struck by gunfire, and subsequently self-transported to the hospital. The motive nor suspect information is known at this time, and the investigation is ongoing.

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