| (June 18, 2021, updated June 19, 10:30 a.m.) -- LB's Wrigley district had a drive-by shooting on June 18, but it's uncertain if a person was hit by the gunfire.
Initial information was sketchy, but LBPD Watch Commander Timothy Long says that at about 7:23 p.m. June 18 LBPD received information that a suspect(s) in a vehicle drove-by and shot at a male Black adult victim in the 2100 block of Pine Ave. (between 21st St./Hill St. in CD 6/Saro) in which it's unclear if the rounds struck a person. A man initially believed to be the victim subsequently showed up with a gunshot wound at a local hospital but he left before LBPD officers could speak with him. [UPDATE] In a midmorning June 19 update, LBPD PIO Alvino Herrera says "the victim was brought in by an unknown subject with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound...but "due to the lack of information it was unsure if the shooting occured in the City of Long Beach." [end UPDATE] The shooter(s) is/are at large. Further as we learn it. |
