LBPD Blotter – Oct. 22, 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 no-hit shooting in the area of Santa Fe Avenue and 20th Street - Today at approximately 12:02 a.m., officers were flagged down by a male adult victim in the area of Santa Fe Avenue and 20th Street regarding a battery, that was later discovered to be a no-hit shooting. The physically uninjured victim stated he was in a verbal altercation with a male subject, when an unknown male adult suspect approached him and pointed a firearm in his direction. The victim ran away from the suspect, however the victim heard what he presumed to be gunfire coming from the original scene. No injuries were reported. The suspect and male adult subject fled the scene before officers arrived. Officers located evidence including bullet casings indicating a shooting occurred. No additional suspect information is known. The investigation is ongoing.

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