Release Date: 2025-09-01

Welcome to the LBPD Blotter!

As part of our ongoing commitment to external communications and providing valuable information to our community, the Department posts preliminary information about incidents that occurred the previous evening, including shootings and stabbings, as well as any other LBPD updates to the Department’s homepage and on the “News” tab of the Department’s website. This page will be updated as new incidents occur.

Here’s a recap of incidents occurring last night:

• Traffic Fatality – 7th Street and Federation Drive: Collision Investigation Detail detectives are investigating a traffic collision that occurred on Sept. 1, which resulted in the death of a male adult. A news release is forthcoming.
  
  
• Officers investigate a person with a gun with SWAT activation: On Aug. 31, 2025, at 6:55 p.m., officers were dispatched to the 4900 block of Locust Avenue for a report of a person armed with a gun.  The preliminary investigation revealed that a male adult suspect brandished a firearm during a verbal dispute with another person. Arriving officers were able to locate and contain the suspect, who retreated into a nearby residence.  Officers established communication with the suspect, who refused to surrender.  Negotiators and SWAT resources responded to the scene to assist. After approximately 90 minutes of negotiating with the suspect, he peacefully surrendered and was taken into custody.  The investigation is ongoing.

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