LBPD Blotter – Nov. 3, 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 possible homicide in the 7400 block of East Willow Street - On November 2, 2022, at approximately 10:30 p.m., officers responded to an assault call in the 7400 block of East Willow Street, which later resulted in the death of a male adult. Upon arrival, officers discovered an unconscious adult male, and they began rendering medical aid until Long Beach Fire Department personnel arrived. The male adult succumbed to his injuries and Detectives are investigating the incident as a possible homicide. A news release detailing the incident is forthcoming.

• Officers investigate a hit-shooting - On Nov. 2, 2022 at approximately 10:09 p.m., officers were dispatched to a local hospital regarding a shooting victim.
