LBPD Responds to Gunfire, Stabbing, and Weapon Seizure in Night of Violence in Long Beach

The streets of Long Beach echoed with the sharp cracks of gun violence and the somber tones of police sirens as the Long Beach Police Department (LBPD) dealt with a series of incidents on the night of November 16, 2024. According to anLBPD Blotter update, a flare-up at a traffic stop around Anaheim Street and Pacific Avenue culminated in gunshots being fired at a male adult victim’s vehicle following a verbal altercation with another vehicle’s passenger; although the scenario was fraught with potential for tragedy, there were no injuries reported, the suspects had fled and the investigation into their identities and motives continues.

A separate altercation led to a stabbing on the 1100 block of Via Wanda, where a male adult victim sustained a non-life-threatening injury to his upper body and was later found at a local hospital; the suspect, in this case, was arrested at the scene, demonstrating a measure of control amidst the night’s chaos, the LBPD reported success in de-escalating and addressing the violent event promptly.

In a display of efficiency and courage often unheralded, LBPD officers further ensured public safety by confiscating a firearm from the streets that same night, engaging in a brief chase after the armed suspect attempted a bold escape by leaping from a second-story walkway; the apprehended suspect’s intentions remain a subject for investigation, yet the LBPD’s quick response highlights the department’s unfaltering commitment to keeping the community protected from the dangers of unregulated weapons circulation.
