Upon arrival, officers contacted a male adult victim with a non-life-threatening gun shot wound to the lower body. Long Beach Fire Department personnel arrived on scene and treated the victim for his injury. The preliminary investigation indicates the victim and a male adult suspect were in a verbal dispute which escalated when the suspect shot the victim. The suspect fled in a vehicle to a residence near the 2000 block of Chestnut Avenue which he refused to exit. Officers established a perimeter and attempted to call out the suspect.
