LBPD Blotter – Oct. 5, 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 Make Arrest in Stabbing Incident - Yesterday at approximately 6:20 p.m., officers were dispatched to the Belmont Pier regarding a stabbing. Upon arrival, officers contacted a male adult victim with non-life-threatening stab wounds to the upper body. Long Beach Fire Department personnel arrived on scene and transported the victim to a local hospital for his injuries. The preliminary investigation suggests that the victim was engaged in a verbal exchange with a known female adult suspect. The verbal exchange escalated when the suspect brandished a knife and stabbed the victim. The suspect was still on scene when officers arrived, where she was subsequently arrested and transported to Long Beach City jail for booking. The suspect has been identified as Islas Nicola Marzena, a 41-year-old resident of Long Beach who was booked on one count of felony assault with a deadly weapon. Bail was set at $30,000.
