(June 24, 2018) -- Two people were shot shortly before sunset on Saturday June 23, about two blocks north of PCH and roughly a block north of LBCC's Central LB campus very near LB's Renaissance High School for the Arts (6th Council district).

It's the fourth LB person-hit shooting within five days, the fourth LB shooting this month in the Central LB area (6th dist/1st dist.)

Initial information on the June 23 shooting is sketchy. LBPD Watch Commander Lt. Poe Siavii tells LBREPORT.com that at about 7:42 p.m. officers were dispatched to the 1400 block of E. 20th St.; officers found one man shot/wounded, and learned a second man was taken to a residence by friends; LBFD transported them both to hospitals with injuries believed to be non-life-threatening.

Mayor Robert Garcia, currently on what he describes as his "GoLongBeachTour," just completed walks through parts of the 6th dist. "There's a lot going on in the 6th, which is one of Long Beach's most diverse communities," he wrote.

Garcia, who previously represented the 1st Council district (2009-2014) is one of only two remaining LB electeds who voted under Mayor Foster to erase budgeting for 208 citywide deployable police officers (including LBPD's former field anti-gang unit) starting in 2009. The other remaining elected is 6th dist. Councilman Dee Andrews.

As Mayor, Garcia has recommended budgets that have restored 17 of the 208 erased citywide deployable officers to date (FY17), with no publicly announced commitment to restore the remainder for taxpayers by any date(s) certain. In June 2016, LB voters approved the Measure A "blank check" sales tax increase (advocated by Garcia) that now provides City Hall with a cash infusion of nearly $50 million annually.
