LBPD overnight Watch Commander Lt. Gerry Prieto tells LBREPORT.com that at about 11:08 p.m., officers were sent to the 2100 block of Pine Ave. where a wounded man indicated he'd been shot in the area of Artesia Blvd./Atlantic Ave. Officers went to the victim-indicated area, conducted a search but were unable to find witnesses or evidence of a crime scene at that location.

[LBREPORT.com comment: This shooting, like other LB "ghost shootings," might have been independently indicated (within seconds) if LB City Councilmembers funded and directed deployment of gunfire location technology. Latest LBREPORT.com coverage here.]
