Here's a recap of incidents occurring last night:
Hit Shooting - 1800 block of Locust Avenue - On 2/6/2023, at approximately 9:28 p.m., officers responded to the 1800 block of Locust Avenue regarding a report a shooting. Upon arrival, officers located a male adult victim suffering gunshot wounds to the lower body. The victim refused to cooperate with the investigation. The Long Beach Fire Department transported the victim to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. As officers were on scene, one male and one female adult subject interfered with the investigation and were subsequently arrested for obstruction-related charges. At this time, no suspect information is available and detectives believe the motive to be gang-related, however, the investigation is ongoing.
This information is preliminary and is intended for early information use rather than being a formal investigative report.
