(July 15, 2016) -- On the same night (July 12) as mulitple LB politicians and those doing business with them praised Vice Mayor Suja Lowenthal as she exits after a decade on the City Council, a man was shot in her Council district in the 500 block of Rose Ave.
Information is sketchy. LBPD responded to the area at about 10:24 p.m...and found a man (adult) with a gunshot wound. [Scroll down for further.] |
It's currently unclear if the latest shooting is gang related, but LBPD has indicated that most of LB's violent crime is gang related. On Sept 15 and 22, 2015 the Council voted (without dissent) to adopt 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.
