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:

• Stabbing - 2200 Block of Locust Avenue - On Oct. 30, 2024 at approximately 5:43 p.m., officers responded to the 2200 block of Locust Avenue regarding an assault with a deadly weapon call. Upon arrival, officers located a male adult victim with a non-life-threatening stab wound to the upper body. Long Beach Fire Department personnel arrived on scene and transported the victim to a local hospital. The preliminary investigation indicates the victim and a male adult suspect were involved in a verbal dispute which escalated when the suspect stabbed the victim. Responding officers contacted the suspect, who was still on scene. He was subsequently arrested and transported to Long Beach City jail for booking. The investigation is ongoing.

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