(Dec. 8, 2016, 6:05 p.m.) -- In a release, LBPD identifies the stabbing victim below as Aaron Whatley, 43, of Long Beach, and indicates that no arrest has been made at this time.

(Dec. 8, 2016, 11:30 a.m.) -- A man (adult) was fatally stabbed shortly after dawn today (Dec. 8) in a quiet ELB (4th Council district) neighborhood south of Steans St. north of Los Coyotes Diagonal, west of Clark Ave. and east of the Traffic Circle.

Preliminary information is sketchy. LBPD Public Information Officer Nancy Pratt says that at about 6:30 a.m. officers were dispatched to the 4900 block of Ferro Court regarding a stabbing that just occurred; officers found a man with a stab wound; LBPD transported him to a hospital in critical condition and he did not survive.

LBPD says the party allegedly responsible for the stabbing, a man (adult), remained at the scene and officers detained him as they conducted their investigation. PIO Pratt says the relationship between the two men is to be determined; LBPD homicide detectives responded and are handling the investigation.
