LBPD Blotter – Oct. 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 Hit Shooting - On Sept. 30, 2022 at approximately 9:30 p.m., officers were dispatched to a local hospital regarding a gunshot victim. Upon arrival, officers contacted a female adult victim suffering from a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to the upper body. The victim stated she was walking near an alleyway in the 1400 block of Pacific Avenue and noticed a physical altercation between an unknown number of subjects. Shortly after, she heard presumed gunfire coming from an unknown direction. Observing he had been struck by gunfire, the victim self-transported to a local hospital. Officers responded to the location but were unable to locate a crime scene. No other injuries were reported. At this time, no suspect information is available. The investigation is ongoing. 

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