(Feb. 3, 2017, 7:20 a.m.) -- Long Beach had its fourth shooting within 16 days last night (Feb. 2) in the 1000 block of Lewis Ave. (west of Alamitos Ave., just south of 11th St., 6th district bordering 1st district.)
LBPD Watch Commander Lt. Melvin McGuire tells LBREPORT.com that at about 10:30 p.m., officers responded to shots fired in the 1000 block of Lewis Ave and found a man (adult) with what appeared to be a non-life-threatening wound. LBPD's investigation is ongoing but at this point, the shooting doesn't appear to be gang-related.
There have been three homicides in Long Beach thus far in 2017...and two of the three were in parts the 6th and 1st districts (the third was in the 9th dist.) 6th dist. Councilman Dee Andrews was re-elected in an April 2016 term-limits-bypass write-in without a runoff. 1st dist. Councilwoman Lena Gonzalez will face voters in April 2018 if she chooses to seek re-election.
