LBPD Blotter – September 6, 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 Hit-Shooting - Today at approximately 1:02 a.m., officers were dispatched to the 3600 block of Santa Fe Avenue regarding an assault with a deadly weapon call. Upon arrival, officers discovered that the victim transported themselves to a local hospital for their non-life-threatening gunshot wounds. When officers arrived at the hospital, they contacted a male adult victim with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds to their lower body. The victim stated he was in his vehicle when he was approached by an unknown male suspect and had a brief verbal altercation, which subsequently resulted in the suspect firing a gun at the victim, striking him. The victim fled in an unknown direction prior to officer’s arrival. No suspect information is known at this time. The investigation is ongoing.

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