Here’s a recap of incidents occurring last night:
-
Officers investigate a hit-shooting in the 600 block of Cerritos Avenue - Today at approximately 12:33 a.m., officers were dispatched to the 600 block of Cerritos Avenue regarding a shots call. Upon arrival, officers located evidence, including bullet casings and strike marks, indicating a shooting occurred. A few minutes later, officers were dispatched to the 1000 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue for an assist fire call, related to a victim of the 600 block of Cerritos Avenue. Upon arrival, officers contacted a male adult victim with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds to lower body. On scene Long Beach Fire Department personnel transported the victim to a local hospital for his injuries. The victim stated he was in the 600 block of Cerritos Avenue when he heard a loud verbal altercation amongst an unknown number of subjects, when he realized he had been struck by gunfire. The victim then self-transported to the 1000 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue, where he subsequently called the Long Beach Fire Department. No other injuries were reported. Suspect information is not known, and the investigation is ongoing.
