(April 7, 2016) -- Shortly after 9 a.m. Thursday (April 7), a man (adult) was shot at midmorning in NW NLB in the area of Artesia Blvd./Butler Ave...basically the same area where two people were shot -- one of whom did not survive -- on March 3.

LBPD Public Information Officer Marlene Arrona tells LBREPORT.com that officers responded to the 300 block of Marker Lane (about three blocks north of Artesia/Butler) regarding a person on the ground, possibly due to a shooting, and found a man at the location who had sustained a gunshot injury.

LBFD transported the victim to a hospital with what appeared to be a non-life-threateninginjury. LBPD's preliminary investigation indicates a shooting occurred in the area of Artesia Blvd./Butler Ave.

On Mar. 3, two people were shot -- one of whom did not survive -- in a midafternoon shooting in NW NLB in the area of Artesia Blvd./Butler Ave.

On Sept 15 and 22, 2015 the Council voted (without dissent) for a FY16 budget, recommended by Mayor Robert Garcia, that failed to restore LBPD's former field anti-gang unit. It leaves LB taxpayers with a budgeted police level for citywide deployment roughly equivalent per capita to what L.A. would have if L.A.'s Mayor and Council cut roughly 30% of LAPD's officers.

In August 2012, Mayor Foster first recommended the budgeted elimination of LBPD's field anti-gang unit. The Council balked, funded the unit at half strength for a year, but in subsequent years quietly let it disappear. Then-Vice Mayor Garcia (chosen by Foster to chair the Council's Public Safety Committee in mid-2010) held no hearings on Foster's proposal or any public safety impacts of Foster's budget recommendations. Councilwoman Suzie Price, whom Mayor Garcia named to chair the Public Safety Committee in 2014, has followed that practice regarding Garcia's budget recommendations.
